Usually the gelcoat guys start with a basic white and tint it to match the boat's gelcoat.
YEAH, they failed to update or fix a FLAWED design. Everyone else moved away from Direct Injection 2 strokes and over to 4 strokes, years ago,...
I'll also add that a tablet is no match for a dedicated chartplotter when it comes to heavy rain/thunderstorms, when you need a chartplotter the...
Down at lower RPM's you're not going to see the miserly fuel consumption of a 2 stroke D.D. if that's what you're thinking. The old 71's and...
LOLOLOLOL right now he is busy chasing down 3 different water leaks into the interior and the boat is only a few years old. I think he's been on...
Last I checked, rocks don't move :D I've found that in 99.5% of areas that nothing changes. Yeah certain areas do shoal and move around, but...
The factory installed charts on the Garmins are still good/perfect no Navionics influence from what I've seen so far. The Navionics chart chips...
I spoke to him yesterday actually, he gave me a call as we've been friends for a long time. I also employed his son as a mate a few times. He's...
They can do 1500 NM at 10-12 knots, many of them. Towing it is an option, or the SF just doing it's own route to get from point A to Point B and...
The problem is, the Otam 80' is a glorified race boat, not a yacht. Very small interior for a 80' and wouldn't compare it to even a Pershing for...
Sure it can. I know of a 2003 75' custom SF that makes it from Palm Beach to NY in 2 days.....only stopping for fuel and staying at a marina the...
I'd go with Garmin. They just work, are easy to use etc. The built in Garmin Charts are far superior than explorer or any other charts in the...
On a head of that type and age, if you need to. If the boat has been out of the water, you may need to prime the raw water line. I'd recommend...
That's another very good thought as a lot of custom SF could cruise around 40 knots. Better seakeeping and range than an Arneson express. And...
The owner is a nice guy, say Hi to him if you see him.
LOLOLOLOL please don't. Those barrels have expensive ingredients hehehehe. The owner decided to fly in Friday with 2 of his buddies that own...
I don't think the Prestige's are exactly a fast hull or fast boat, so you're better off with the standard props.
Surface drives are high maintenance as well as pods, compared to shafts. Surface drives tend to be the most efficient at putting HP to the water...
IN yachts that size, the majority of running costs are the wages and compensation of the crew, which is derived by the owners wanting a level of...
Generally on Oceans (as they're saddle tanks under the engine room vents) when one tank fails, the other is only a year behind it. Change them...
