Seems like now that you know more about what to expect -- and seller and broker hopefully are learning from you -- could end up being fine once...
Compare the Carver 32 Mariner to a Mainship 350/390. Another "Chevy." Slightly larger, but not hugely so. Single or twin engine versions...
Agree, but OP mentioned seller restrictions... -Chris
Somewhat dependent on how much money you have to throw away... when you create a Frankenboat. If you repower with enough diesel to replicate...
I guess Autohelm predates our SmartPilot, then... -Chris
The Powerboat Guide says cruise is 24-24 kts. I suspect that's a typo, though, maybe with 675s in the 560 I'd WAG more like 20-22 kts for typical...
It's generally not cost-effective to swap gas for diesel. It usually needs to include gears, shafts, genset, sometimes tanks... Outlier...
Circa 2005, I think the Raymarine AP course computer would be a SmartPilot, and the ST6000 was just the control head. If that's semi-correct,...
Probably not old gas in a D12. Certainly fuel filters might benefit from a change. But the haul it/clean it thing is indeed a thing. You do...
With the right combination of fittings and valves (Groco SSC, for example), flushing can be fairly simple. Snap on a freshwater hose, switch the...
Ummmm.... consult your AC manual? -Chris
Can you identify the windlass maker? Model? If so, have you asked the manufacturer? Or can you trace down the typical systems that boat maker...
Probably meant can't. -Chris
Nice boats, but.... for a liveaboard situation it'd probably drive me crazy (crazier) in about a month. Or maybe even two weeks. Imagine living...
It's a good example... but I can think back about all the stuff I had no clue about when I decided we needed a boat. And I can think of stuff I...
Several of us probably have no more of our own money... because we bought a boat... so helping somebody else spend theirs is our only option. -Chris
Coco seems a nice looking boat, interesting/maybe useful layout for a liveaboard. Haven't heard of that shipyard. European boat, imported here...
Some Ocean Yachts have a nickname; you might rummage around to learn more about that. Around here, marine diesel has been running less than road...
Often, new folks ask this kind of question from upstate Maine or Boston or some such... where winter temps would impact liveaboard things like...
Recent VF systems use a DC vacuum generator to create vacuum. Maybe yours does, too, but seems complicated by needing an AC-powered water supply?...
