That is a ridiculous comparison.... Again on term charter the charterers pays for the food and drinks, not the boat. And even on all inclusive...
It s really easy. If you have separate tank and pump, unclamp the hose on each side of the pump. Pull them off (rags under always help catch...
Weekly charters are almost always plus expenses so the food costs are irrelevant. But even on an all inclusive rate that would be incredible...
...and for some really stupid reason, SR has them set up so that the high pressure pump comes on about a second of the feed pump starting... So,...
I didn't know Raritan made any VF. Start with the duck bills... In some installations it can be painless, in others it can be a mess... It...
Very early 53 like mine have 8v71N, by 1973 most had turbos. The naturals will not get the boat on plane making it basically a trawler. I m...
