I would recommend having the tanks emptied and inspected. I might be familiar with this boat. If you want, send me a pm and I'll let you know if...
+1 to all OB posted. A few other considerations: if your wife likes the destination more than the journey, let her fly to meet you in port. Then...
I first met Jorge at a YF meet-up at the Bahia Mar bar at FLIBS many years ago. I have recommended him for many projects since and have found him...
Probably not even the builders and for sure not the guys that installed the windows.
Thanks :-) For clarification, I didn't invent the term Taiwanese Tub, but it sure works well for what must be thousands of boats that were built...
In general, DeFever built decent boats that have held up fairly well. If you find one that has been well maintained, it can be an excellent boat...
I put the onus of sea trial on the seller. I advise, and if need be insist, that the owner or captain take the boat out for a run, including WOT,...
Sorry to hear the bad report on the broker. I think you should find a broker in France rather than considering bringing her to the UK. A boat...
Sorry for your and your wife's loss. I need more information before providing advice or making recommendations. I am assuming that she is in good...
A few jokes, riddles, and groaners: Where did the ship go when it was sick? To the dock. When is a wall like a fish? When it's scaled. What...
Ditto to what Pascal said including thanking you for your service. Another option that might help with insurance is if you have a captain training...
Sounds like despicable if not criminal behavior from the broker. If s/he is from Florida or California, then they are required to have a license...
Doesn't take much? Surveying a boat not ready for sea trial is a big deal. Judy
Are you referring to Jotun? What didn't you like about it? Or what are you looking to do differently?
Frank & Jimmies did a great job on reconditioning the prop. We were spinning our wheels (pun intended) in locating a new prop to match the...
Thanks, Ken!
Good point - sorry, we Americans tend to be so egocentric: January 2018.
I have a client looking for a one week charter in New Zealand for 12-14 passengers, 6/7 cabins next winter. There seems to be a shortage of...
Ronnie's Carpets sometimes has remnants from megayachts that fit the size for smaller boats - be sure to ask.
Thanks for the leads. I subscribe to Boats & Harbors but did't think to check there. Yes, Norseman, she was on her way to the boat show. Lucky...
