Nice trip Trinimax. Next you'll be bringing down another Ocean I bet!
I don't think you're missing anything. But the cleaning of the SB strainers may be less frequent for some. With basket strainers one may have to...
I can't offer much of a detailed analysis but I have the SB strainers on my mains and gen. Basket strainer for AC. Never had any issues. I...
I owned a 1990 Open with that same power. Great boat. I do think the hull is pre-change of deadrise but can't recall. I will say the boat ran...
Thanks again, great feedback. And Captain R. Not a lost soul. And I'm under no illusion the above will eliminate the need for a generator. I'm...
Thank you for the detailed insight. Very informative. And your pluses/minuses jibe with some of the assumptions I made. The 54 appears to be...
Sport Yacht. w/ the cockpit. Not the Princess
Didn't see any threads on this boat and thought I'd ask. I've recently become intrigued by this boat. The price of a 60' Viking SF of the late...

Do you have to carry ANY liability coverage as a hired captain? And if you do, what exactly does it cover? Is there any point at which the...
I'll take your word for it as you have far more experience than me. In my profession (professional but non-technical) I have to carry...
First, I'm speaking from zero experience with captains.... I could understand this if the Captain was a full time employee of the owner. But...
Eisenglass is going to be a bit distorted. Polycarbonate is very clear but much more ridged. My enclosure is 60mil Eisenglass on back half and...
I don't know it by heart but there is a procedure for manually putting the engine in gear that can be found in the operators manual. I would pull...
I have a 43' Ocean and they are somewhat notorious for poor following sea performance. A combination of narrow transom relative to mid-ship beam,...
I sympathize with the desire to go to self contained units. They are louder and perhaps more disposable. But at least, replacing them is a DIY...
