Nice solid boat, and larger than the name suggests! Besides, Ferretti build quality back in those days was comparably even better than in much...
Define "normal", also because while 900 hours is not a lot, some maintenance jobs are either hours or AGE dependant. There's way more than oil and...
Sorry, I can't understand the brand from any of those. R U sure it's still the original kit the boat was built with?
Sorry, but those hydraulic bits don't remind me of any steering system I'm familiar with. Are you sure that there aren't any labels somewhere?...
That must be the reason why all discerning MY buyers prefer Hatt or Viking to Euro builders... NOT! :D
Got any photos? A label where at least the brand name is visible would help. They might have fitted either a Marsili or a BCS/Twin Disc steering...
If you are looking for first hand experience, I'm afraid I have none. As you might know, SFs are nowhere near as popular here in the Mediterranean...
If you're interested in decent flybridge stairs, have a look at Riviera. Can't remember the exact models, but some of them have stairs which are...
That's precisely what I meant with my previous comment ref. attention to detail (lack of) in some "hidden" parts of the boat. See, it is indeed...
Because S/skr is indeed a premium builder in some ways, but attention to detail in "behind the scenes" installations just ain't one of them.
So, am I right in understanding that there's no abnormal vibration with your current traditional prop? And neither other problems of sort,...
Fairenuff.
Surreptitiously promoted?!? I couldn't have made a better example of what I meant by ignoring the reality and living in la-la land, even if I...
I don't think leeky didn't grasp what is being discussed. Of course Russian+rich=guilty is a wrong equation, but that's not the point. Russia...
My experience as a raggie is nowhere near enough to judge what is or isn't great among sailboats. All I know is that the boat, which used to be...
That's not saying much, really. If there's one reason that nobody in his right mind would buy a SF for, it's beauty. The captain of a stunning...
Thanks God for that. I heard VHF calls to the marina where an arriving boat asked to send a couple of RIBs out to help pushing the boat in her...
Positively +1. Pretty sure there must be some Russian folks on the field that aren't better - or maybe even worse, if possible - than Putin. But I...
She sank also according to the Russian news agency. The reasons reported are as usually different, but I think it's safe to assume that sank she...
Having in mind what a boating mate of mine paid for a full platform retrofit from the company I linked in my post #16, I'd expect their ballpark...
