I'm supposed to leave for the Bahamas Monday. Monday to Bimini, Tuesday to Albany (Nassau) Wed or Thursday to Highbourne for the week. We all...
Not really, most everything will not work. However, you can get a Y and plug into 2- 30amps on the dock and that connects to your single 220 volt...
Quality of build is very good. Check as others mentioned. I worked on another Viking SF and replaced all of the deck hatches, all of the Balsa...
WHICH CATS??? will depend on the price. Which engine? Some CATS go 6,000 hours before rebuild, others will go 10,000 hours.
Neptunus did at the very stern, Just inches above the waterline. It added to the smell but I kind of liked it that way because you could see what...
That's all they were designed for. Bivens was a small producer and all of the custom SF guys looking for the highest top speed used them for...
With the mechanical Detroits. I hear of guys taking 8v92 DDEC's and switching to 6 port injectors, a larger HEUI pump and having someone burn the...
You usually have plenty of natural light from deck hatches on SF in most staterooms.
NO, it's getting wet because the joint is too tight and with heating and cooling cycles it expands and has nowhere to expand to and is lifting...
See if you can find someone (megayacht or large yacht usually) that has a salinity meter. They're usually a $50-60 tool, so most will have one in...
Jarrett Bay in Beaufort Merritt's or Teak Decking Systems in FLL.
A narrow saw blade or dremel to open up the joint then fill with that putty made for teak joints then varnish.......is the only answer.
"Yes what's safe for an experienced professional may not be safe for novice. In 1989 the Gentry Eagle, a "blind" boat set the trans-Atlantic...
The black in the joint is moisture. You can also see a moisture drip line from the bottom right teak plug. The joint is simply too tight. You can...
Yeah, and Fabio Buzzi, equally talented, recently died from hitting a jetty on a speed run....
Stay away from Neptunus???? They're a very good and well built boat. Much better quality than a Monte Carlo 5 and Swift Trawlers. Searay's up...
Nice job, but your joint is too tight and it will happen again......
Well, the owner, owned this yacht for a long time. He did that ONCE and chose never EVER to do it again (his words). I felt REALLY guilty...
Bertram I would avoid the 570 completely. Bertram had LOTS of serious structural issues of the hulls on the 570's and 630's from around 2001-2010...
In Comparison, I ran a 60' defeaver from Green Port, NY to Stuart, FL. It had a hull speed of 8 knots, but many days we we're down to 5.7-6.2...
