Wow. You told me about the lively (to put it very mildly!) maiden voyage of Dream Chaser, when many years ago I came to see her in FLL and you...
Welcome to internet! :D
Me too, and yes they did. Actually, all of those up to 65' were single screw, IIRC.
I am actually based in southern Sardinia, just about on the opposite side of the island (which is big!). But it only takes a knowledge of the...
In Nardò ring (southern Italy), talking of average speed doesn't make any sense. It's a circular ring, all at a constant banking angle, specially...
Aha, thanks for enlightening me. Every day is a school day! :)
I believe a young Bruno Sacco designed that thing, well before he became head designer at MB. But by then, his even younger compatriot Marcello...
A border south of FTL? Did I miss some news about Miami drug dealers establishing an independent state? :D
Aha, I see. I believe the LXE were actually very similar if not identical to the LE401. Can't remember when exactly, but at some stage MAN simply...
BTW, I forgot to mention: if you are sure that the boat was never repowered, I can see two possible alternatives. Either the boat has 820 rather...
No way, unless repowered. In those days, the higher power MAN V10 available was 820hp. The 1100 is actually the higher power ever among MAN V10,...
ChiTown, your boat is on straight shafts, right? The arrangement that you mention is typical of boats where access to the outboard sides of...
The plot thickens. Lunderic, you said your engines are mechanical V10, but which version exactly? LE401 820hp, I suppose? I'm asking because in my...
I can second what Lunderic said ref. the pressure readings in my boat, powered by the very same engines as per thread title. And I would second...
Was the o/b your choice, or what? I'm asking because that dinghy can handle up to 25hp, with a recommended power of 20hp. Sounds like yours is...
It all depends on how smooth the interior hull surface is - and I half recall it's pretty smooth in Novuranias. Besides, in a normal installation...
You really don't need to bother with the water bag. As I said in my previous post, you can just slide the transducer around the hull interior, and...
Knowing that your clients are usually after no-nonsense, solid boats, this would be the best match, imho. They can withstand beaching in places...
Did you ever try a Steiner side to side with a WM or any other chinese binos? Any binos does its job decently, it's only when you compare them...
Wow, that's actually SEVEN years ago, no less. I will never complain again about how slow my yard is in completing the jobs I commission to them. :D
