I ran a few boats with flagship. The technology was rudimentary at best. Well built, BUT the blowers were noisier than hell and a single speed....
Easy, marina's are surrounded by land and buildings on 3 sides usually which knocks down the wind. They're usually not in open water where you...
I wouldn't consider anything but a dometic. Period.
I would have soft starts on every chiller boat, as you have the seawater pump kick on and the chiller startup usually at the same time. The soft...
Which is what I cannot understand. If you're going to go through all of that trouble, why wouldn't you continue and build boats. Now, it's been...
Off the coast, No. The surge is incredible, even if there are breakwalls. Then, what about the electricity? Yachts use lots of it. Then the...
Durable yes, but age has taken it's toll on these motors. Plus parts are getting harder to come by for the 3208's, plus cleaning all of the heat...
OK. Like I told you in the beginning. I am not a broker. I do not have a boat to sell you of any sort, I do have a customer looking for a boat...
If that's the case I would go new enough on the Grand Banks to get one with Cummins. It looks like somewhere around 2003 they switched over to...
I am not a broker, nor do I have a Grand Banks to sell you. But, I have run a lot of them. But I do have an owner whose boat I currently...
What is your price range?
The 50' with 820 mans was the best boat Post ever made (granted I have no experience with the newer 53' and 56'). It is light years ahead of the...
I am guessing that the captain hugged the wrong side of the bridge, not thinking about what is over his head. That bridge does not go completely...
A "fast trawler" is not going to be a displacement hull, it cannot be. I am talking about displacement hulled trawlers exclusively, which I was...
Most all traditional trawlers are displacement hulled (OA's, Marine Traders, Kady Krogens, Grand Banks). Sure, it's simple math. The length of a...
24 days, 21 days underway and probably average of 11 hours per day. I was ready to go home and not see another boat for a week. Yes, the inlets...
Exactly, and most of the loopers I see are doing hull speed or around 8-10 knots and most of the time, in something that will do 20 knots WOT +/-....
Yes, but your traditional trawler won't even cruise at 8 or 9 knots, most won't even cruise at close to that. (displacement hulled 60'<).
Another question, have you checked the bilge to make sure it's not holding a lot of water? What is your location? If you're in cold water, it...
I have experienced the Sunseeker gelcoat issues and that is true. Aside from that I've found the Sunseekers to be well built, they perform and...
