    Thinking of buying this boat....

    I personnally don't like the C7 because of the HEUI injection system. The system works very well an is quiet but like it was said above the high pressure pumps are known for failure. They are just a renamed 3126B in my opinion. The Cummins QSB more reliable I would say.

    For the helicopter, it only weight 975 lbs. Probably not more than the removed parts if done. Skids total width only 66 inches so the landind pad would be large enough, actually larger than the common bush landing pads. I was just expressing my fantasy dreaming �� But I think it's possible...

    Help to find boat height for transport

    Yes this is something I'm thinking about too. Time will tell. I always liked the look of a flat top boat. I never tried a flybridge but I know I don't like too much wind and rarely open up my zippered windshield on my actual boat because of that. Not to brag anything here but I also own a small...

    That is why I need to know the esact height. The quotes are for standard legal heights. I know 15 ft can double it.

    I've been shopping for a few years now and never found anything better. As good maybe close but not better. And we prefer THIS boat. For us it's the best deal for now even with the shipping cost.

    Help to find boat height for transport

    My quotes are from Canadian shippers including all except loading and unloading fee at the marina. Less the import taxes. Which is 15% but I already calculated them. The quote for decommissionning, remove upper helm, ready for transport, pressure wash bottom and load on trailer is 1700 US...

    Help to find boat height for transport

    Ok I will clarify the cost so you guys have a picture of the deal and tell me if I'm doing a wrong move. The boat is in a lake that is land locked in a place I don't want to stay. So it has to be transported. They were asking $50k but now in NEED to sell and I get it for $13750...

    Ok Pete, let's get that discution civilized and mature. Seriously! Now since you start talking about value and if a boat is worth doing so or so let's educate me. What is a 81 Mainship 40 worth ? By OK but not great what do you mean ? I see you have a Albin, is this a better boat ? How...
