What I am telling you is the 800 MAN common rails that Cabo put into their boats in the era that this boat was built burned 62 GPH at 80% for the...
The 47' Cabo was too old to be built with C18's, the 48' is a different boat with a slightly different hull design and was first produced in 2003...
Yes, 3" is what I always see on C18's, even the 1000 HP.
The CATS are 2.5 knots faster at cruise and WOT. And, 1100 MANs would be 2.5 knots faster than the cats at 86 GPH at 80%. The C18's are 1000 HP,...
The 48' Cabo is a much better riding boat than the 47', the 47' had too much weight forward and tended to pound a little and was a little wet....
Rick, I'd highly recommend Awlgrip or Awlcraft over Alexseal for a cockpit. Alexseal is pretty soft and scratches easier IMO. Also, you want to...
Check your shorepower wiring connections from the cable to where it attaches in the boat and at the back of the breakers. I've seen many that...
He most likely just does bottom fishing in 40-50' of water. Prestige and very good quality do not go hand in hand. I've put a lot of miles on...
You can do ALL of the due diligence you want, but without walking on the particular boat and seeing it in person, most people won't make a...
For many, yes. Many are not sure of either the exact brand or boat they want, or are sort of sure but need to see it in person and compare it to...
Like the boat in this link? If so, they'd put teak right on top and it would look just fine just like any SF. These are the same gunnels as on...
Scrape it off and glue the new one in it's place. I usually use 3M weatherstrip adhesive. Boat owners warehouse sells all sorts of gasket...
Well, let's face it. Even if the virus doesn't get any worse, it's still effecting the global economy pretty decently. Perhaps like 9/11 did. The...
https://www.ozonesolutions.com/knowledge-center/ozone-compatible-materials.html I don't think half a day would hurt anything. Aluminum and cpvc...
But be careful not to overdo it because they can attack certain metals and such. As for the wood flooring, they make ALL sorts of corner pieces...
From what I see, Hatteras' major focus seems to be on large motoryachts. But, the problem with building large motoryachts is you can only produce...
Here in the SE, Vikings are everywhere...….They really dominate the production SF market, the MY market you hardly see one of the Viking MY's.
I deal with a boat that has a GFCI on the main shorepower breaker in the boat, I've had it trip if A/C water pan got clogged and full of...
If the vessel is not for hire, privately owned, then the owner legally can run it himself if it's under 200 GRT.
You're only talking about 3/4" thick for the teak covering boards.
