yeah, I just have never had luck with transom mount reading above hull speed on any boat. Thru hull is the best, but in hull has always worked...
no idea, but veems seem to be the go to props for sportfish here. So those would be my guess.
I just set the transducer in bilge water and try it. If it works well that way. It will work well once epoxied in the same way. Slightly less...
take the liquid out, and epoxy it in with clear epoxy, set it directly in the epoxy, it will shoot right through no problem
She does a solid 48 knots. I’m up here at Jarrett bay right now, and they tweaked the props a little and got better numbers from when that video...
The 650 would be the far better choice of the 2. The 590' isn't a great sea boat, feels tippy even when doing tight turns at slow speed in inland...
There is a set of 2400hp C32B's in a 65' Hatteras Carolina already. They perform very well, are quieter, and have lots of power. I've yet to run...
The C32's are one of CAT's best engines. No inherent known issues with them, they just run and are proven. Provided you change the aftercoolers...
I manage a set of M96's. I curse the warranty issues we've had and are having with them and the service or lack there of. Everything is a finger...
The boat NEEDED a repower.
I know a mass maritime graduate who got a job right out of the gate on a tug and barge and starting pay was $350 per day for 60 days straight....
6 knot faster cruise speed with the new engines.
Iron Leader is a 70' Sportfish. It's Hull #48.
They're good boats and good sea boats. Built very strong. Good layout. The 3412 CATS are excellent. That being said they can be a bit wet at...
Yes, you can take over another station if, 1 station is active and in neutral only mode. It stays in neutral only mode when you activate the...
I've done a lot of trips to and from NY......but SF have much longer legs. I just ran Isla Mujeres to Key West, 340NM, 330NM at 80% load and had...
Easy to get a custom SF that will top out at just under 50 knots. Also has plenty of range. An 80' SF would easily be able to go from Ft. Laud...
Get a custom Sportfish, it does BOTH.
You can put the cat controls into Neutral gear lock out mode very easily, so if someone bumps the sticks you just get throttle. You can also...
The boats permanent slip is about 50' behind where it is sitting. Looks like it just drifted into the bridge.
