Amen to that. Myself and my wife have been living aboard for 8 years on a 53' timber trawler, before replacing her (just because I had enough of...
Hear, hear! @EvanLyst: first of all welcome to the asylum. Back to your point, I guess you were hoping to get plenty of support to your idea, but...
CR, actually the last 8 in 2848 is what represent V8 blocks in MAN jargon - as opposed to 2840 for V10 and 2842 for V12. And the LE401 is the...
Tabs are practically irrelevant. The reason why you will find inlets placed outboard of the shafts in most boats (good ones, anyhow) has rather to...
Did you actually check out the photos, CR? IMHO, it would rather take blind optimism than youth, to jump on that thing!
If you don't mind my curiosity, why do those mounts need to be replaced? Surely it isn't because of age, and if it were due to extremely high...
Just for the records, MAN isn't related to M-B group, aside from using an engine block initially developed by M-B, and called OM444, if I'm not...
Any particular reason for that? If you tell me you're not interested in the version with V8 800hp engines and inline shafts instead of surface...
Amen to that.
If you excuse the pun, SHE probably wouldn't be one of my top choices, if I were in the market for a boat of that size. In fact, also in SL range...
Without checking the specs, I'd guess that there isn't much length difference between the inline 6 C18 and the V10 MAN, if any. Pretty sure, MAN V...
Yeah, looks like they took inspiration from Blood Baron! :D
Amen to all that. Many of us with grey hairs (or none at all!) tend to dismiss boat gadgets just because we always managed to live without them....
Maybe because on top of being always in the way, it would transform a very nice boat into an eyesore. o_O
Geez... Some of those titles make me feel like I belong to another century. Maybe also because I actually do! :D
W, not wanting to be pedantic, but just to avoid anyone blaming google for not finding that, you meant the yard in Loano, surely? :) Anyhow, for a...
Well, that DOES make them good enough for most people, by definition. 'Fiuaskme, I'd rather have a Gilbert's burger - or even better, no burger at...
This is something that never cease to amaze me, in this industry. I mean, you'd expect anyone wealthy enough to afford a 50m toy to be also...
That is consistent with the coding I previously mentioned. FWIW, the final "15" makes it a version costing €1700 according to the EU price list....
Wow. A snapped bolt on an engine mount is something I'm glad I never experienced! In principle, I would agree with the recommendation you got, but...
