Can't remember the exact models/years, but I'm pretty sure to have seen also some Bertram SFs with proper stairs. Probably a bit larger though,...
Very nice photo. But actually being there, and getting a shower every other wave, is another matter altogether. For serious cruising, give me a...
Apologies to the OP for going slightly O/T, but are you possibly aware also of a replacement for the Sherwood pump fitted in the Cat 3116 engines...
Also the fan in the second photo, aside from being partially detached, is something I'd expect to see on a small bowrider. The exhaust pipe looks...
Yup, I suppose that "a 370hp diesel" was a typo. But didn't they use Cummins rather than VPs?
I'm also not a fan of monthly runs at idle, in spite of the fact that it's a very popular approach around here. When during winter I'm not moving...
The OP mentioned a monthly start. While this of course can't stop the marine growth on intakes and heat exchangers that DM suggested, I would...
I'm not sure if the chase boat of a 100' Wally yacht fits the "megayacht tenders" topic. But I found this 52' RIB, built as if it were meant for...
I never heard of anyone towing a boat of that size for such a long way. And considering the inevitable speed restriction, also the weather window...
I wouldn't have gone as far as that proportion if I should have guessed, but I'm not surprised to hear it. Anyway, pretty sure all hours spent in...
Oi, waddumean? At 58, you're barely at half time. That's how I used to look at it when I was 58, anyway! :D
If it's a great adventure you're looking for, it's easy to predict that you won't be disappointed! Looking forward to help as much as possible...
"We", who? The average readers of boating magazines, who possibly learnt the term from a boat test of a Beneteau swift trawler? o_O I would have...
I would think it's actually even more. It takes an experienced and refined touch for a good final painting, but in terms of time the preparation...
By and large I agree that even assuming to get the boat FoC, she would hardly ever be worth the huge amount of work and money required to bring...
Three out of four of your examples wouldn't even spring to mind to anyone who knows what real trawlers are, and you managed to spell incorrectly...
Yup, for a timing job I'm sure the tool you mentioned allows a much better accuracy. Also, I agree that while a bar at the front would be easier...
Funny you should mention it. I thought the same, also because it's rare to see that type of cockpit extension, on this side of the Pond. Makes me...
Doh! You did say flywheel, and I also mentioned it in my previous post, but yes, it's actually the front of the engine that I had in mind, and I...
Out of idle curiosity, since you mentioned that the boat is in England, I just googled around a bit. Is she possibly the Vitech in Brighton? I'm...
