I don't think there's a single "most mechanically reliable motor yachts between 50 and 75 ft" builder. Maybe imagine a list, somewhere between 20...
I wouldn't hesitate over the 3000 hours, or probably even the 4550 on that listing. Much more depends on how it was run and how it was...
For door hardware, you might check Flounder Pounder (fpmarine); they stock much of the stuff used by various mid-range production boat builders......
You have the advantage of owning a boat built by a quality manufacturer who is still in business. Your best info may come directly from them. -Chris
Yoel, I'll add to what others have said... Project Management is a skill field too, not just an add-on to fields like Naval Architecture or...
Thanks, CS, I appreciate the tip. -Chris
I’m considering interior window tinting to control summer heat in our saloon. Search engines aren’t finding nearby installers who admit they’ll...
The charts don't really take into account resulting boat speed -- due to variables like length, shape, weight, windage, etc. -- so that's really...
Can't help with "sweet spot" but you can probably find the engine data sheet on the Cummins site... and that'll give you the RPM/fuel consumption...
Both Barnacle Buster and Rydlyme advertise they're safe for flushing overboard. Both also recommend recirculating, but they also have some Plan B...

Yep, near St. Pete. Turns out to be bordering on a "project boat" due to previous neglect, but it's all fixable as far as I can tell. Only one...
Lots of Sea Rays floating around with no particular issues. And there are pros/cons to cored/solid, anyway. As I understand it from the layup...
Our 58SB is too new-to-us to know yet about ocean handling; we brought it up from Florida but stayed inside all the way. That said... it's almost...
Or SENA or Eartec headsets. (Not VHF) -Chris
I dunno, but usually it's model years and/or slightly modified layouts. We used the then-current Broker's Edition... assuming it includes more...
Everybody's gotta start somewhere, and it's not like many of us were born knowing boat stuff. USCG Aux offers a decent course. The Waterway...
If you look at a full range of boats by Cruisers (for example), their "two story" boats are motoryachts and the "ranchers" are express boats. :)...
Don't know about that boat/model, but I've known folks who had Cruisers boats and they liked them. FYI, ref your thread title, there's a...
