Thank you. Supposed to be in on the 23rd.

My personal new build Helmsman 31 is shipping this week to Seattle. I went all electric on this boat because at some point I anticipate moving it down to Florida. My most recent boat was a Colvin designed schooner. Will have a Seasall 240 (fully electronic Glendinning controls), ZF...

I think that is the BIG advantage of a carb - the ability for self help almost anywhere. I would be lost on an EFI. Plus the injectors are expensive.

I've been told that Tohatsu has developed an EFI for under 25hp OBs but that they are relentlessly testing the system before release - supposedly still a few years away apparently.

Anyone have an opinion about a 20hp outboard having a carburetor (Tohatsu for instance) vs EFI (Yamaha)? Seems to me that, eventually, fuel will have a chance of going sour (ethanol included) and gum things up. A carburetor can be opened and cleaned with some simplicity. An EFI is much more...

Is it possible to take the train into Seattle from Tacoma for work?

If you are coming from CA, define 'ridiculous' house price? :)

You have a huge boat! The H31 will only be 28 feet on the interior, so a 3600RPM genset is the default to get the higher 'kw' for the amount of space available as far as I know. Unless propane is used - then the requirements will reduce for 'kw'.

Why go slow without a choice? I can just keep the Seasall 270 at a slower RPM and go slow. And in today's world, how many cars or boats do you see on the side of the road broken down for engine troubles regardless of make? Really, almost none. And diesel engines are a lot more reliable than...

They do have a dealer network with a Texas based distributor: Dealer Locations Hyundai SeasAll Diesel Engines

Here's a good video on YouTube to get an idea of this engine, especially at the end where they have it out of the water:

I've run this Seasall engine up the East Coast. It can be run for 10 hours a day or 3,000 hours/year. It is not continuous duty for sure but don't really need that in this boat. It will get the H31 (Camano) up to 18 knots and that is faster than I want to run since this is really a 13 knot boat...

I will check this unit out!

Well, I am being quoted the following: Mase 3.5KW 60hz 120V 27Amp. I will have to double back and make sure this is correct because you are right about the spec sheet. It know that the 3.5'B' was upgraded. So I will get the actual specs from the unit supplier to verify. Here is a pic of what...

"I think your generator is undersized for the boat you're getting. Is this a new build or what? Why a Mase generator? They may be fine generators, but parts and finding mechanics with familiarity may be issues." This is a new build. The Mase fits and it is spec'd for various reasons and has a...

Actually the Seasall 270 fits with lots of room left over compared to the old Volvo. And it comes with a built-in push button oil change system. The Seasall 270 is somewhat shockingly quiet and a V6 to boot. I recently considered a John Deere, but they are 4 cylinders (loud and shaky) and too...

Limited space for a genset as the boat is only 28 feet on the interior - genset will be in the lazarette area.

No laundry for sure as it is 28 feet inside. BUT will have reverse cycle AC as this boat will get an East Coast visit eventually but it also gets warm in Seattle sometimes as well. It will be stored on Lake Union or maybe the Duwamish initially - water temps are usually 50F or above. So some...

Hello All: I am getting a personal boat (Helmsman 31) and was wondering what brands of Microwave/Convection oven & Induction Cooktop the collective would recommend. I've noticed Flemings come equipped mostly if not all electric and have this setup. Looks like they use Bosch or Miele. I'm...

Helmsman just confirmed a new 38 PilotHouse will be at the Miami Boat Show in February. Very beamy interior and all wooded out in sumptuous style. Fitted with a yanmar, and designed for fun and adventure. Come see us!!!!

I would call Scott in Seattle who will tell you all about existing relationships: 206-282-0110

It is now Helmsman. See: www.helmsmantrawlers.com.

It also makes your drinks look a lot smaller.
