Out of curiosity, what do you consider a good floor plan? Are you considering any true Sportfish boats? I know of a fantastic 54’ Donzi with new...
Like anything, you will get differing opinions. I have a Blue Water and I’m happy with it. However, I don’t use it much. I know others on here...
I came across this ad which arguably could be a comp for mine: https://crowsnestyachts.com/product/54-bertram-convertible-1997/ My boat shows...
Outstanding info and recommendations. Thank you for taking the time. Your thoughts on Seattle and broker licensing are things I was not aware of....
Certainly won’t be a happy day for me when it goes. But life goes on. I’m a huge fan of YF and would love to give the forum a listing. But I only...
Where in Alaska are you? I’m not familiar with those drives but might be able to help you find a shop that can rebuild a cylinder. Have you...
After much deliberation I have come to the painful decision that it’s time to sell my boat. Life evolves and we must evolve with it. This will not...
We were in talks with a guy a few years back that wanted to refurb the America and make it into a restaurant and hotel like the Queen Mary. He...
Only you can answer that question. Depends on the people and if they are reasonable with water use or not. Some can take a shower and only use a...
It’s not as much water as you think. The 750 gal/day is if you run the machine for a solid 24 hrs. I certainly don’t need 750 gals/day. It makes...
Depends on capacity and features. Prices vary widely. I installed a 750 gal/day top quality unit. I think I paid around $16k for the equipt. That...
The insurance market is just down right crazy. I'm a well seasoned owner/operator and have worked in the commercial world for almost 40 years now....
I spent the money on a watermaker and I never use it. It has been been pickled for two years now. I installed the watermaker then upgraded my...
Curious, do you actually save on gallons per mile at 22-23 kts? In my 54' I don't really save anything once I get above about 11 kts. I actually...
I can see wanting to limit the cost given you are not keeping the boat. Hopefully you will post info here when you move up to a 60'
When I shopped for a boat my last go around I would often ask my broker if the pictures posted were even of the same boat. And the seller's...
What size, type and vintage of boats are you considering? @SplashFi gives you a good rule of thumb at 10%. However, that can go up dramatically...
That would suck to have use a bladder, much less multiple bladders as a routine. I'm assuming you've exhausted all options of adding another fixed...
The major honkin’ repower/refit was completed in 2020 with more things done after that. I haven’t decided for certain to sell. It’s not a...
Hey now, I probably have the newest, older boat on the planet - LOL
