Interesting relationship between depth and speed, never thought of that. Another factor in my case is that I've run this boat solely in fresh...
I think you've done the math correctly and I respect Pascals numbers (I'm assuming from the Johnson he previously ran) but my boat burns slightly...
Looks like it's time to wrap up this thread. But again, I'll thank everyone for their opinions and information. Pascal thanks for the detailed...
I do appreciate your comments, but I did say "from memory 200 GPH" and that was based on me thinking 95 gph per engine WOT, okay, I was wrong, its...
Just jumped back on after being offline a few days to see a few more comments. Again, thank you for all the comments, very informative to get...
Thanks for all the replies. Just to clarify my thought was not to try to get the efficient engine speed to 14 kts, because as someone stated...
Hi, I have what is probably an unusual question regarding repropping. For background I have a 70' Neptunus motor yacht powered by 2 Cat 3412E's...
Thanks for your insights. My previous boat (Queenship) had Velcro everywhere. Not only ceiling panels but some large, finished wood panels that...
My ceiling panels are coming down while the boats at rest..lol I'm going to be doing a refresh of the panels anyway. They are glued up (glue worn...
offshores are very solidly built boats. Good luck with her
Never had MANS and am looking at boats with a variety of engines. I've heard the same horror stories of MAN repair costs but they are just...
As this is a more unusual hull construction method, in modern boats at least, key would be to find the right surveyor who knows these boats. Will...
That’s what I read too especially Lazzaras where they vacuum bag the application
Thanks for the detail. The documentation part is huge for me so good to know they take the time to put it together. My last boat (Queenship) had...
Out looking at various boats in the 60-75' range. Been a boat owner for almost 30 years and have done all my own work on them so I understand the...
Congratulations and I hope your "new" boat is working out well. I lost my boat to hurricane Dorian last year and am looking at "new" ones ("new...
That's a great point! I would plan to add stabilizers so the off-plane ride would be more comfortable but I hadn't thought about prop or rudder...
Don’t they usually put trolling gears in sportfishers so you do troll for long periods at low rpm?
Thanks for your insights gentlemen.
