And that boat works at that dock only because the dock is fixed and so high. At most floating docks that would require steps. Part of the problem...
Yes, and many areas have up to 8' variation. The worst I've seen is a lake, Fontana Lake in the NC mountains. They have about a 60' difference...
Yes and I didn't realize how big a problem I had I guess as we have boats we have to board on the platform, although one of them we could step...
It looks like, as the docks were aligned vs. the boats in the photos, that you probably have a fairly substantial step down to the transom...
Do all the boats you're mentioning have transom platforms? What about Passerelles? In Europe, while not by any means completely this way, most...
Report it to the moderators and they might. It didn't stir much of a pot though because it was so incoherent and seemed from another century in...
The reality is to MTU and Rolls the loss of business will hardly be noticeable, to MAN the gain will be modest, to CAT Marine the gain could be...
I anticipate over the next few years, MAN and CAT largely taking over the recreational marine market in engines up to 2600 hp or so and the market...
We haven't had any problems with MTU's. Have them on three boats. However, others have complained. I think part it just the high horsepower in...
We have also built relationships with local maritime schools and found them a good resource for candidates for deck and interior at all levels....
Look at Yachtworld. You'll get a better picture of available boats and can select by size and type and price. It will give you an overview of the...
Good points and we have hired both ways. We hired one engineer who was always aiming for yachting, but went from Cal Maritime to the University of...
Riva is Ferrettigroupamerica.com and Alliedmarine.com. There are then 35 authorized service centers in the US.
First, for spelling, her name is Peggie Hall. I would recommend buying her book on Amazon, available for $8.99 on Kindle. Otherwise, private...
A party boat....their promise was "Sail into the extraordinary". I would say they delivered on that....
No, I consider Cal Maritime, SUNY, and Massachusetts Maritime excellent and have been impressed by the Engineering at the University of New...
One sidebar. You can hire foreign crew for US Vessels. Requires a B1 Visa. Limited to six months at a time in the US, but Visa for 10 years. A bit...
Nice layouts and MAN engine choices which I like. In fact, may lead me to look at them as I haven't very closely in the past. They do have a US...
So a brief mention of some others. I mention only new, but most have similar in the last couple of years. Princess F62. I'm admittedly not a fan...
And Capt J isn't talking about an Express boat but a Sunseeker Manhattan Flybridge model. And having purchased a Sunseeker Manhattan 65 in early...
