I wish I knew the answer to your question, because those engines are exactly the ones running my own boat. 2004 vintage, about 16 hundreds hours...
Out of idle curiosity, which type of crew boats are you talking about? I'm asking because 'crew boat' makes me think of something fast-ish, and if...
Positively +1 to all of that. The forces at play in a 100 tons steel trawler moving at 8 knots vs. a floating town (whose mass was more than a...
Funny you should mention her, J. Not sure if you remember, but during my stay in another boat (the MS75 which I think you know) from which I took...
Far from pretending to answer on behalf of NY Cap, but my understanding of what he meant is simply more weight=more fuel. Which is somewhat true...
In that respect, the Dashew's FPBs are even better. Different strokes for different folks, as always with boats....
I did some math, actually. That's why I checked the Cat specs for the C-18, according to which two of them should burn 57 GPH at 1800 rpm, not 67....
+1, and not only for Zopilote (now called Holiday, as I recall). Here's another couple of almost sisterships, as spotted by truly yours. The...
I can't be positive on current Irish-specific rules, if any. But I did deal with an Irish broker, a dozen of years ago. Back then, he was happy to...
Interesting. Multi-voltage battery banks aren't actually that common, among EU builders. Wherever 12V-only components are present in an all-24V...
Well, in this case forget what I said! :) Out of curiosity, is that a standard Donzi setup? I never came across a boat with 24V DC for engines...
No clue about how realistic the speed numbers are on that particular boat, but the 67 gph @ 1800 is nothing to write home about, even assuming...
Wow, I'm impressed by how many draft specs you can remember! I must admit that I'm not used to consider that as a relevant factor, because it...
Well, it only takes me about a dozen of nautical miles from my home berth to have 900 feet or deep blue stuff under the keel - and not many more...
LOL, couldn't agree more! :) That's one of the reasons why it happened to me to go as far as "24 on / 0 off" for three days in a row.... But...
Are you referring to any specific model? In their current lineup (90/100/110) I never heard anyone mentioning their draft as significantly deeper...
Thanks for the "Carolina smile" pointer, I never heard of that type of application. Interesting to see M66 suggested along the areas more prone...
No worries, I don't think you actually confused anyone. :) Btw, I perfectly see where you come from, 'cause "tachimetro" is the Italian (my mother...
"Lower quality" is not the right way to put it, also because quality is a somewhat relative concept. I'd rather say different, and mostly focused...
Wow, 2 kts on a not so fast boat (low 30s, I suppose?) is a helluva improvement! Do you possibly have any reliable indications from someone who...
