I looked at an older WB 58. Two items I did not like. The electric panel was at the floor level right next to the saloon entrance. Hard to read...
Couple of reasons for holding back. Not too concerned about weight or fuel usage but 3412Es with a combined 2800 hp do seem overkill for our use....
Not sure a 20 year old boat in that size range will make a big enough statement passing by.
Good to hear that there are no aftercooler issues with the 3412Es. I believe they are jacket water cooled which would cut down on typical...
I'm looking for a 55'+- pilothouse boat capable of making 200 mile runs on the Pacific coast during daylight. This means 15-20 knots cruise. I'd...
It sure seems to depend on where you boat (no surprise). Recently, I paid $1850 for 340k hull value with $2M liability in the PNW. This was a slow...
A US boat can cruise/moor up to a year in BC. Then you need to re-enter the US. No BC tax is due. There is no limit on how many times you can do...
This is the second forum I see your post. Be very careful. Listen to the advice above.
If the only issue is a dead lithium cell, I'd find a capable electronics repair guy and have a new cell soldered in. It is a very simple repair....
In terms of engine room space, check out the Grand Banks 52 Europa. I'm 6'4" and can stand up in the engine room next to the engines and...
Electronic controls? Wireless controls? By the way, the fuel dock in Port Angeles is on the west side of the marina, the boat ended up on the east...
220V AC is 220V AC. The only difference is 50Hz vs 60Hz which may or may not cause issues.
There have been some complaints. Some of the earlier Mathers versions were sensitive to supply voltage issues.
Crazy. Handing a $600k check to a broker whose escrow account bond is what, $20k? Last boat I sold in 2010, the buyer's bank was going to wire...
Do the MTU Series 60s have the DDEC displays? Any codes? What are the boost pressures and air intake temps at 1500 rpm under load? Any black smoke...
I had to flush three times (+ bring it up to temp in between) to get rid of all the emulsified water in the transmission. No long-term damage as...
No doubt the trawler segment is small-but not dead. We used to be in the MY camp (59' Queenship) but recently purchased a 52' GB with 3208 NAs...
It seems to depend on location. There is significant interest in "trawlers" in the PNW. In terms of new entrants, Selene seems to be doing well.
Based on my observations, if health is not an issue, people seem to retire from boating around 75 give or take a few years. This would imply the...
What an ordeal. When you hear the solenoid engage but not the starter, it is usually a sign of low voltage or bad battery. Battery voltage is easy...
