Thanks to all for the input. Probably the biggest bang for tithe buck is to get 20 years of heavy paint blasted off the bottom as suggested. I...
I think in the end we’re after the same thing - a well tuned propeller for the boat. Once that’s accomplished properly loaded engines, speed, and...
What do you mean by sweet spot. Best mpg? The bottom and running gear were clean. I’ll haul the boat this winter and have the props tuned for...
I've had the boat 2.5 years. When I first got it, it had 28x38 hytorq props and would turn 2300 and cruise at 28 kts at 1900. Unfortunately, I...
Currently have 3406e 800 hp engines that are supposed to be propped to 2300 WOT with full load. I'm currently close at 2285 with full fuel and...
It's going to be up to you to determine what the value of the boat is in comparison to what else is out there that's comparable. With that said,...

Looking for advice/experience with selecting engine mounts. 800 hp 3406e's in a 1998 53 Ocean. Suspect that originals are Cat/Barry. Purchasing...
Same would be, never coil your powered up cords, snake them out on the dock. Coiled cords, are just that, a coil, creating a magnetic field...
I can't find much information on Michigan EQY props other than they are supposed to be a step up from DQXs and supposed to have camber that the...
I've noticed some aftermarket aftercoolers on the internet that are about 1/2 the cost of Cat parts. Normally it would be a no brainer and just...
Please elaborate. I would think that any raw water aftercooled diesel could benefit from a fresh water flush. I even thought that the Cat...
I recently purchased a 53 ft power boat and would like to enable my adult children and spouses to operate it and be insured without me being on...
My Tiara 36 has 375 3208s I've owned it for 20 years and have done all the service myself. 4000+ hrs and never had the heads off. They are not...
