I have seen and run a few aluminum crew boats from the 1950's,1960's, and 1970's, and when I tell you they were run hard and put away wet, they...
Yes and yes, as long as they fit. However, I remember the impact being closer to 900 lbs and that would be pretty heavy up there. 11' whaler...
No, it's too heavy for a lot of designs. Steel hulls are the strongest when built properly. However, on a lot of motoryachts, they find steel...
Most yachts over 130' are all aluminum hulled (some steel as well on displacement ones). Westport was the first yacht builder to start making...
Almost, doesn't count.
I agree, but everyone runs them at 80% load, so that's where the fuel numbers really matter to most people.......
You can post the movies here, just edit or blur the "2 chaps" out of them. I believe I sent 4 videos so not sure which one didn't go...
It's a Westerbeke......you can hear it fairly well in the master stateroom on the other side of the bulkhead.....I'll take a sound shield any...
It's all in relation to HP. 1600 HP C32's burn 122 gph at 80%, 1900's are 168 GPH, 1800hp 16v2000s were 150 GPH.....2400 HP are 200 GPH......all...
Sounds like better cylinder heads that flow more air.
Probably around 160-170 GPH at 80% load for both engines.
1. I believe they are, but a quick call to a CAT dealer can confirm this and #4. 2. YES, any good DIESEL mechanic can, same with CAT etc....
Anything with a C in front of the model needs the aftercoolers changed every 6 years........regardless of new style or old style or etc. I had a...
A lot of yachts are in LLC's or Corporations, simply to shield the owner from liability. The one I managed was and the CA owner bought it and the...
I remember someone doing it, they drained and cut the old tanks to get them out, then had two tanks made with very short hoses joining them that...
I don't have a youtube account or cannot remember the password and don't know how to upload a video onto here. If you want to see around 20...
Send me a PM with your email address and I gladly will send them to you.
Why are you avoiding MAN's? The common rails are GREAT running engines. Smooth, quieter (than CATS), more fuel efficient, reliable and when you...
I am judging the rolling by the aft deck ceiling overhead and the horizon behind it, and it is considerable. I'm just judging what I see and trust...
Yes, which was another step towards harnessing the massive torque of a diesel.
