Those C18s on the Hatt's are like Big Foot now. Good info on Neptunus. You'd rate them higher quality-wise over Hampton, OA, Offshore, West Bay,...
Thanks. Yeah I haven't seen one with C18s either. We're looking at boats from 52 to 64. The OA 548 looks nice also. There's one local that I'm...
Thanks. Have looked at a lot of Manhattans online. Most have Mans, and while I've read your posts on Mans it turns out in my area (Los Angeles)...
OK good to know, thanks. Thanks for the good info. Tend to agree on the 3412s being overkill and I'm really trying to keep cost of ownership...
My search got delayed but picking up this coming week. One question I'd like to resolve--since one of my goals includes possible long range...
For some reason I'm not getting notifications of posts. Need to check my settings. Didn't see your response until just now when I checked it. Re...
I'm not at all familiar with the Galeon. Will check them out. We wanted to go a bit larger than 50 but I see they make other models as well....
Thanks. Your comment on Volvos is interesting. Seems like there are a lot of them out there but I don't see anywhere close to the volume of...
$2000 including "gender service"? That sounds like a bargain, assuming they did a good job.... Thanks for this. Couple follow-ups if OK: 1....
I think changing all the fuel and oil and filters and impellers on my QSC 540s is about $1200 parts and labor (a little less actually). No travel...
I've read the opposite on the cost of maintaining the Mans. I've read the common rail Mans are good engines, but that scheduled services are...
Yes, I don't plan to pursue that one, just thought it was kind of funny especially in light of the bathtub comment. My current boat was purchased...
OK thanks will check it out, but an owners forum is a lot more likely to have fans as opposed to objective views. Didn't notice a bathtub on the...
Potential purchase situation. Going to be seeing one this weekend and looking for any information I can find. Good, bad, whatever. If you have...
OK thanks--I'll need to inquire about the performance on the OA 548 I'm checking out this weekend. Having less than 10' water under the keel at...
Thank you. Heading down to Newport this weekend to check on a Hatt. Will PM you. Hahahahaha...yeah so I may be stressing out a little more than...
Thanks I'll look into that (tank inspection). Capt J--a few questions based on your posts 8 and 16. 1. What year range were you referring to...
Agreed--great to see. Are those vector fins?
Thanks but is it just a coin toss whether I'm going to have an issue of not? I don't recall the survey on my last boat even addressing the...
Thanks both. That's valuable info. Seakeepers on some of the boats I'm looking at are north of $200k. I assume zero speed stabilization would...
