It almost sounds like you're asking if a thief can expect a $50K payday by hitting a yacht. Wire transfers and lines of credit are a beautiful...
Skill generates pride and good captains are proud of their abilities. Taking the easy way (thrusters, joysticks, etc.) lessens your ability to...
Your question probably does belong in a different thread, however, I for one have learned from your question and statements. It may be useless...
Admiral, When you talk of Kevlar hulls it is not the same as bullet proof vests. They do not stop a bullet. Most of what you fear is decades...
As you can with IPS & Zeus. Axius (Mercruiser I'Os) is a whole nuther kettle of fish. With that the drives flop around when backing into a...
Good shot. It really puts things in perspective. Bet the PJ owner thought he had a big boat when she launched. I always caution owners that...
Now your question makes sense K1W1. I've been educated. Thanks. Truth is though that the type of fuel used by the 1,000 gal. tank boats is not...
Dan1000 is right when he points out that being holed is a small consideration for most boats, although it does happen. Far more likely scenarios...

That I understand. I thought you were going someplace relative to fueling at fuel docks, but couldn't figure it out. Looking to learn from...
You've got me curious to see where you're going with this. Fuel Flash Point (oF) Acetaldehyde -36 Acetone 0 Benzene 12 Carbon Disulfide...
That would help.:D
Yes, wood means work, but it looks soooo good when maintained properly. As far as your ideas for inside/outside teak, you might want to reverse...
Only design defect would be in the person who backs down hard or tows from astern with a transom door open and doesn't act with consideration of...
I don't often get to say this, but Marmot...Well put. Keep that in the public eye. GrahamF, the key words in your post are "Lets say you apply...
Also ask about Boat US discounts. I've only run into a few that give that, but it pays to ask.
Fueling 1000 gal. tank is no big deal. Many marinas have high speed pumps that push out about 25gpm. So about a half hour for 800 gals. (15...
Probably here if those docks are on American soil: Those jobs belong to Americans or those legally eligible for work in this country. I've got a...
