Go figure!.... One is 50% heavier than the other, revealing its probable full displacement nature. Also you do not mention speed...so.....I would say that with the data that you wrote, it is very hard to say something valid. We can only guess, I think!

Dear SD My sincere condolences. May God keep her in His infinite kingdom of love and peace. Portuguese

[Walt said: Well, I didn't realize that this thread was a treatise on everything that we did to our boats! Keeping to the dictates that the OP suggested ("can't believe others hadn't thought of it..") I only listed a new salon hatch. There were other improvements, however, that included:] Walt...

Guys My small contribution was in the design department. My boat belongs to a line of hulls ranging from 28’ to 46’ (mine). So far, there are 1 x 42’, 1 x 33’ and 5 x 28’. When the first 42’ was building and due to the fact that the hull has a wide beam, I questioned the designer if he could...

...Once somebody told me that the difference between a cat and a mono while sailing in high seas is that in the mono, the soup falls on your feet. In the Cat it falls on your head. I sailed both in various sea conditions and I never had soup falling either way The perception that a Cat can...

Baker I have asked that myself but kept quiet because I was an "electronic dumb" with a stupid question...YES I want to see ahead, not far on my port/starboard

The Kha Shing is looking good. Balsa core is as good as any other core. Fear of the unknown? All core hulls are fiberglass overlay. The hull should be light, that's all. Get a previous survey to the hull. Is this boat presently in the water? As RT says; you need to walk the walk and talk the...

Cobbler Congratulations on your new home, sorry, boat. May you and the admiral live in complete happiness in that shinny vessel I liked what I saw in the ER picture...Beauty! Portuguese

Janice ...Without kidnapping the thread, I loved your site. You're a real inspiration for all of us. God Bless you and thank you for your knowledge Portuguese

Baker I can't say that all cats are alike but what you have just posted is the perception I have about a cruising cat sailing at 30 knts. People get enthusiastic and they loose their judgment capacity in face of the sea conditions. Yes cats and other boats can cruise at high speeds, but speed...

Offthehook ...Welcome, This is like a University. The Universal Trawling University..... Good info, excellent friendship. Be happy

THank you guys. There are other cheaper filters I am sure. The cartrodge here costs around $220 Uncle's Sam green ones...geeeeeeeee! I can live on beer here spending the same money

....Thank you guys. Actualy the filter is now selling in Brazil as well and there are no problemns to get the cartridges. However, they claim that they eliminate the tank odors and that was what I was trying to confirm.

Guys Does any of you have experience with this product? Does it do what it calims? General Ecology Seagull IV X-1F Drinking Water System Thank you

...For a job well done? 2-3 gallons

Guys Having read the above, reamains a question. If you cannot afford a marina and decide to live on a hook, what system is more reliable to charge your bateries in order to have power for the bilge pumps, the solar pannels or the wind mill? Have in consideration that you plenty of both...

... That's a wonder boat. With regular amounts of TLC she will give you lots of joy. Make sure you that it is in good condition. Be happy

Guys I don't know the boat but I like it the outfit, cruising and fishing , low power diesels, etc I wonder how well constructed is it. Marlow Mainship 32 (2014-)  Reviews,performance,compare,price,warranty, specs,Reports,Specifications Layout, video | BoatTEST.com

Thank you all for your opinions. Another option, probably more viable, is to connect a AC alternator to the gear or to the engine and produce 6KVA AC power at 1800RPM which is the cruising speed of the boat, and run the cooling units with it. My units are AC powered.

Hello guys, Greetings Have any of you guys ever seen a Bus AC adapted to a boat? The idea is to have it running while on way. Thanks Portuguese

I saw a woman wearing a sweatshirt with 'Guess' on it. I said "Thyroid problem?" When I was a kid I used to pray every night for a new bike. Then I realised that The Lord doesn't work that way, so I stole one and asked him to forgive me. I've often wanted to drown my troubles, but I can't...

Allow me a question If you don't put wood inside of your boat, either full walls or a nice trim, how can you possibly call it home? Weird! Can you name a more convenient, safe, accurate, long lasting material for boat interiors?

Gents The video below is just too impressive. The sequence and connectivity of images are more than clear. This what we could call The Power of Synthesis The history of our planet in just 2 minutes. Take a look! http://marcbrecy.perso.neuf.fr/history.html

Rick That was good joke. The mention of the second engine is that he has 2 engines in his boat and, when he sails with only one, he is in jeopardy. You know exactely what I mean. That's why I only have one on my boat.
