Interesting to hear that... "Sea water system is electrically bonded, so there is no longer zinc anodes to replace." I always wondered why they...
Ok, I was talking of human size boats, where even the quietest genset is still audible. That said, if your chef doesn't prefer cooking with gas,...
I can imagine that you are even more against gas cooktops, then. 'Fiuaskme, the possibility to make some spaghetti at night in the total silence...
Just in case you didn't notice, the post you quoted is dated 2011. o_O Anyway, my understanding is that the block indeed was the same for the 3406...
As much as the only way they could sell me an IPS is OMDB (i.e., over my dead body), I agree with you. A successful product it is for good, that's...
That's essentially down to two main reasons: For boatbuilders, it allows significant savings. On one hand, in terms of hours and workers...
It ain't just a matter of being mode demanding and expensive in terms of maintenance. Some recurrent IPS problems like the water ingress that you...
In this case, I would agree with C J. Nothing wrong with a fully open layout per se, mind. At that size, here in the Med I would say that it's a...

I see your cold NY pizza and raise you a pizza served straight out of the oven at Sorbillo in Naples. If you think it's worth living for the...
Anyone ordering such junk doesn't have the faintest clue about how a proper pizza looks like. I would have told that his cholesterol is too high...

The Sleipner website does have a fins stabs section (click). And it seems to be working just fine, but there's no mention of any electrical...
Boatpoor, aside from being wrong also from a theoretical viewpoint (as leeky already mentioned), I assume that you never went snorkeling around a...
Since you insist, I'm against them because I think they are a real move fwd only for two categories of people: Those who build and sell them, and...
Doh! Are you sure I'm the one who's moving the goalpost?!? The engines were just meant as an analogy, and now you throw in also pods, out of the...
Generic question, generic answer: Quality-wise, historically Ferretti has always been fairly superior to Azimut. BUT, in the vintage range you are...
Do they? Since you mentioned curved fins - those which IIRC they call "vector" - I assumed fully hydraulic because they are the only ones I'm...

Fair enough, I have no problem to take your word for it.
