Peter Hartoft for hull. Can't speak to Volvos... -Chris
Got it, thanks. Just from reading, I thought all batteries in the series were supposed to age identically when wired that way. Thought it's...
Our two main battery banks are similarly configured... but we're 12V... What do you mean by "top" battery? Haven't heard that term before......
Nice! Good luck with the work! -Chris
I guess this is probably too late to be useful... but FWIW I'd guess that 42 Bertram weighs in the neighborhood of 10K lbs more than our 28K-lbs...
But the folks are friendly, and the fried chicken is pretty good. :) Docks are in good shape. The place is clean. Makes a decent staging point...
If no one else answers... You can do a little inspection yourself. First would be locating your vent opening on the hull, often near (or at...
Zen, have no way to judge whether a convertible could fit your requirements, but some random thoughts: The noise factor you experienced may have...
:) And remember there's a BS coming up in Annapolis in early October... so not a lot of un-spoken-for docking space available during that. :)...
We're small enough we can often get a slip on the public dock... but AYB is our go-to hot spare when necessary so we stay there occasionally....
If "DC/MD" includes Annapolis, Annapolis Yacht Basin is an option. -Chris
This is likely the feature that starts bringing boat sizes (hence, weights) up and speeds down. Unless you mean something like the "aft" (mid)...
You could look at Carver, Sea Ray, Cruisers, Maxum, Silverton, etc. aft-cabin "motor yacht" models, and maybe some of those brands plus Bayliner...
Oh, yeah.... I forgot about that... There's really only one active marina there now, on the east side of the ICW. Pleasant enough place to stay...
Don't see where you'd need much choice. Hatteras to ICW via Croatan Sound and across the Albemarle, ICW to Norfolk-Portsmouth, then to the...
It is indeed often the case that fuel is not the major annual budget item. Berthing and insurance are other larger -- somewhat predictable from...
If this had "happened" to us... I'd consider it to have been my fault. -Chris
Can't suggest boats, although those with built-in stairs -- we have that -- solved our issues. But I've often thought maybe a circular staircase...
Hartge's in Galesville might still have their railway in operation. If so, that'd be closest of the others named so far. -Chris
Boat owners manuals very likely will have no info about fuel economy. I've never seen that. Sometimes you can find magazine articles and on-line...
