What broke? Or are you adding?

The only downside I can see to the diesel cook stove is still needing a separate way to heat hot water. We could use a coil on the stove, but that would men heating up the cabin trying to make hot water for a shower. So it still looks like three systems, cookstove, main engine and probably an...

Why a diesel? We are thinking of having a boat built and we don't plan on a genset for an electric and to avoid the added complexity of propane. Plus it would be nice to have a dry heat vs a moisture laden propane oven

I like pictures :) I am just trying to find a compelling reason to go with one or the other.

What are the pluses and minus of a diesel cookstove?

The Seattle Boats Afloat Show is this week on Lake Union. An in water boat show. It was a sales pitch, but I wasn't offended.

Can anyone give me hard concrete differences between a Marine 4045T John Deere and the Lugger 1064? Is it worth the extra cost?* Deere can certainly afford to integrate whatever changes that Lugger does on more economical scale...* Just curious..

We are shopping for our first trawler still....the best opportunity we have to get on a lot of different boats is coming up this weekend. We are a family of four with young boy/girl twins. We "think" we want the following: Fully walk around with decent bulwarks and railings for keeping the...

*Just a little reading and it seems to be an ideal setup to have the Simrad and a high power as a long range tool..* albeit more $$$

Don't get too hung up on height.* In some cases a lower antenna is better.* A specific example is up here where stuff in the water like crab pot floats can be a major factor in one's naviagation.* The higher the radar antenna, the farther out from the boat it will begin to see returns.* Mount an...

Does a higher transmit power equate to "seeing" smaller objects closer? Would a 6KW see a floating object at 2-4 miles out than a 2KW? Does the open array help with that situation also? Other than redundancy, is their any benefit to splitting out devices (separate depth sounder etc)? The...

A few naive questions: 1). The range stated is more limited by the Radar height above water du to the earths curvature, correct? Without getting out my ancient trigonometry memories, the distance to horizon at the water level is only 7 statute miles correct? 2). Can the higher power radars...

I was hoping Mark would chime in.

New vs used? We have been looking at a custom built steel trawler tug. *It is built to a high standard, but is intentionally minimally equipped. *It has no ac electrical and no genset. *The tug as well as the Coot have been designed by well known marine architects. What it does have: Excellent...

Our "plan" is to spend a lot of time as a family cruising, no tv, no Internet and phones for used for emergencies. Call me kooky, but i want my family to be very tight knit. Thankfully even though we both work, we both have jobs that allow longer vacations/weekends. We moved from Colorado a...

One other comment... One of my big concerns if we were to buy a dual screw motor yacht or large diesel single is the ongoing costs of engine repair/maintainence. Rebuilding to big diesels is not something that we want to do. Sure any engine can need costly repairs earlier than it should. I...

Been looking there a lot, especially at this http://www.yachtworld.com/core/listing/boatMergedDetails.jsp?boat_id=2174245&ybw=&units=Feet&access=Public&listing_id=74772&url= We did have our eyes on the Nordic tugs as well... I haven't seen an American tug in our price range yet. I asked an...

Would like to have the availibility of a generator, but not neccessary. Laundry, I am assuming would be the biggest need. We can always do that off of shore power and a stop along the way... I have never been on a Nordic tug. Just seen a few at the docks. Three staterooms would be ideal...

Certainly not a dock queen.* Sure we would llike to use the boat as entertainment space and we do intend on mooring it at a dock less than 15 minutes from the house, but*cruising the Puget Sound and inside passage up to Alaska in complete safety are our main goals.* Make smart decisions based on...
