Also 6', I've notice that most bridge boats built today give very little view of more than a few feet of the bow from a seated position. Just the...
Yes, I assumed that a pilot would have been on board, which would probably put it mostly on him (as either way he'd be directing the action), but...
I've only been on cruise ships a few times. So let me ask what may be seem a dumb question. I've notived that modern cruise ships are very...
Welcome Smitrock. You're in exactly the right place. Use the search button above, type in: live aboard, hit: search now, and let the education...
Righto, but I'm sure they have them for gas as well. Again, someone on another thread mentioned about hiring a mechanic for a day to teach him in...
In all these years I have never met an owner who has read all his manuals. So I ask that they just breeze through them so they know where to look...
Such a contract would be like a Christmas present to a plaintiff's attorney. I'd rather go against a hearsay twice removed from a dead man...
Don't we live in the jackpot position every time we untie the lines? That's why we don't present ourselves as surveyors, engineers or mechanics...
I've been involved with several new purchases on boats under 70' and never seen one surveyed. Obviously though they brought along a captain (me)...
With respect, I can't say I agree with the captain having a say on insurance. Every right-minded owner knows the boat should be insured. If he...
Sounds right on target.
There are too many question marks about the captain for his own good right now IF he's even thinking about working as a captain anymore after...
Besides saying what you'd expect about Carver I took special note to something said that relates to something I've heard from various people on...
You won't want to be in any exposed area in more than 15kt. winds. Also the bridges lock down at (I believe) 35mph winds. If you make that run on...
I'd be very surprised if all parties don't have their own lawyers involved as well. Assuming this cost Bertram 5 sales with as high as 1.5M...
They offered to replace the boat (retail I believe about $2.2M) for $1.8M. Legal fees are deductible so they don't really matter. "If they knew...
For Bertram, Marine Max and the captain it's a case of which way do you want to lose; a decision you always leave to cooler heads (lawyers)....
Agreed, which is why I think the ethics thread is good. The posters are not the only one's reading that and hopefully it can do some good.
Jhall767, Bertram's defences are reasonable under the law. The courts will determine if they are right or wrong. I think it would have been a...
My experience with gas Carvers is that you're looking at 1 possibly 2 fuel stops. I'd have to go into my logs for the exact fuel burn, but I...
