and there be the rub as they say.:cool:
ROFLMAO. No, docking when there is a stiff current on your beam or a 60mph gust of wind hits you just off your bow is hard. Reading an inlet...
One nice thing with IPS (and I assume with Zeus although I'm not as familiar with them) is that you can mount the engines pretty much anywhere you...
$8,000 in fuel qualifies a 50' boat for dockqueen status. I just bought fuel at $4.72 a gallon. That's 1695 gallons (for $8K). At 50gph that's...
My last few times through there I had no problems, but it wasn't dead low tide. I came through about 4 years ago at low, didn't see it as bad as...
The U.S. and Europe gave favorable tax/tarriff agreements to Japan as we do to China. Far better than what was given in return. Short story, we...
Yes they did.
He's in the right neighborhood. Sorry.
Um Dave, isn't that the eastern shore where the houses are? I too have been through there when most were bumping bottoms, although it looks like...
Maybe he just needed a place to store it where his X-wife or the repo agent couldn't get to it.
That would work as a good diet plan for me.:o
It's a big albeit. If you look back into the IPS threads you'll see it noted quite vehemently that they are not nearly the same. As noted, the...
Still there in May? Cool. The docks are usually cleared of the big girls by this time. I'd have expected them to be on their way to the Med by now.
You may have missed this: At 19 kt cruise and 20.5 kt WOT I'd catagorize that GB as a cruiser, not a trawler. BTW, you can put IPS/Zeus on most...
The playing field really needs to be leveled.
I realize that many parts of the world has a dim view of the U.S. A lot of it is jealousy and much of it is deserved. It's not drawing...
You know, I was going to suggest that they could go to an azipod, but he was asking about Zeus & Nordhaven and didn't want to confuse the issue or...
I'm pretty proud of our country. Especially these days. You don't see us burning people's churches, dragging people's bodies through the...
86 Nordhaven is beyond my experience, but I can't see the benefit for a 9 kt. boat. DK if anybody's even thought of trying it. Lazarra got some...
Not sure how it is today, but back then the only thing they were saturated by was German tourists with full pockets. 10 boats in a town with 100...
