I agree that price is important to some, but you're in the minority of the boats that cruise North and South. At least with the yachts really...
I still buy them, but carry them less, but on some deliveries still carry them such as on slower boats when doing the ICW and trying to make the...
Waterway guide cruising guide. I like the way it lists what I need: Largest vessel accommodated, number of slips, shorepower, fuel, draft on a...
I do a ton of deliveries and I don't even bother searching for the cheapest fuel. On a delivery, I am looking for what inlet matches my maximum...
That's normal performance/speed for that boat. I wouldn't worry about the engines or performance. If you really like the boat, proceed with the...
Never swamped a boat. But did swamp a person over a decade ago. I was running up the ICW somewhere, where it's narrow but a fast speed zone up...
Generally true.....However I've seen a bottom a little dirty not effect RPM's, and slow down the speed a few MPH in rare instances. Without...
That seems awefully light on speed, what speed did the boat cruise at, at 80% load? The last one I remember running cruised at 23 knots. 22...
That's awesome, better than a scene from that Pirate series that was on Starz network a few years back.
Could be anything and without surveying it, you have no idea. Did the Captain properly use the trim tabs, usually they'll get you almost 2 knots...
It depends. They're both good brands in that era. Sunseeker has pluses over Neptunus and Neptunus has pluses over Sunseeker. Just depends on...
THIS. I see no reason to foreign flag anymore as there are few benefits if any and many downfalls. It's cheap enough to flag your yacht in the...
Didn't old Browards have Bruce anchors usually? There was a yard on the Miami river that cut up Seafari, perhaps they still have the anchor?
Have you tried Carver? Can you post pictures?
No, they are not the same boat. The 47' was a touch bow heavy and had a tendancy to pound a little and was wet. Cabo changed the fuel tank...
Neptunus did use Series 60, but not in this boat as Series 60's only went up to 800HP. We're talking about mid 2000's boats, so I'm guessing...
LOLOLOL, I've gotten to this point in some places also. If my wake isn't going to capsize them, and they're in the middle of a shipping or...
CAT C18's by a long shot. Just have to stay on top of the aftercoolers and change them every 6 years. Aside from that, service network is the...
Reputation comes from what the company does from within. Marine Max's after the sale support completely sucks at most of their dealerships, the...
Cabo is the pinnacle of quality in that size. That is what I would shoot for. The 48' Cabo FB was a very good boat and hull design. The 43' and...
