If the raw water pump is gear driven, perhaps that's how the water got in there......if it ate the shaft bearings......she might get lucky.
The second one is the color on a lot of Paint manufacturers "Fighting lady yellow" these days, straight out of the can. I like it in the pale...
It all depends on how hard the prep is and how hungry the yard is. But this was done by a very reputable yard in Ft. Laud that's been in business...
You need a Hinckley dasher!!!!! :D
You asked about how they did at max speed compared to tabs in the same boat. In my situation, the max speed number was irrevelant because the...
As cheap as they are, order both!
A lot of both boats were built with dual generators, so not an issue. The Viking favored the MTU's at the time, mainly because of the larger HP....
In a good head sea you're slowing down to 24 knots which is the sweet spot on those hulls in a head sea. The old Bertrams gave the illusion of a...
Better. All of it's ride characteristics are better.

It depends. I've managed a 2007 62' Predator since 2011. It has a dark navy blue hull, with the origional gelcoat it had to be waxed every 3-4...
Long addressed, it was the first 10,000 units I believe.
Those were the 3126's, not sure if they were 3196's also. 3196's had aftercooler issues.
