Yes, I know. Fuel levels and the boats trim while sitting at the dock changes how the dipstick reads on some engines as well.
I don't see manufacturers putting the seakeeper in the lazarette generally. I see most manufacturers them putting them at the aft of the engine...
Most of the yacht mananufacturers are now putting them closer to the stern, versus front of the engine room. They seem to have more of an effect...
I actually passed her 10 years ago at night in that very same spot but 100' west. Just on the East side of 3rd avenue in a 75' Hatteras My that...
Whorton creek did rebuild that 74' Spencer that sunk off of PR on it's maiden voyage to the new owner. Not sure how it turned out in the end, but...
The set I'm managing has around 135 hours already and most of them at cruise. But I think I've added 2 quarts of oil to each engine in the 135...
I disagree a little. With the large yachts production and employee workmanship was one of the big factors. Boats not being finished on time....
This is not an excuse, I run the river all of the time. All of the big boats are on the VHF radio, calling securities and broadcasting their...

I used to run a 97' FB MY that had 2 staterooms.....1 master and 1 vip…...it had a third that sort of could be used for guests but that was used...
Brewers had done it in the Mid Atlantic and NE, Loggerhead has done it in the SE. Loggerhead even had a thing where if you had a annual slip at...
This, and I haven't been on a yacht with chillers that didn't slowly lose water somewhere in the chiller loop and make up water needed to be added...
I manage a 62' Sunseeker predator that is midnight blue. We had it sprayed with Awlcraft 2000 5 years ago. Once a year I wipe awlcare on it and...
This sounds like typical factory stuff from some builders. While entirely possible it was done after the build, I highly doubt it. I once ran a...
