Tnx for the reply, we bought her, added solar, an inverter and a few other goodies. Currently in the Exumas Bahamas cruising on her. Great boat!!

I’ve heard Renogy has a poor reputation for customer service however they have good reviews for their inverters, any Renogy owners here that can chime in?

Not so much a Jon boat? I refer a Jon boat to a square front end low freeboard type lake boat? I’m looking more for a higher sided bee bow aluminum boat! Yes I like the idea of a tougher hull material, we cruise full time and are on beaches all the time. Shells are not good for inflatable boats

We’re looking for a new dinghy for our new to us motor yacht. We have a 15’ beam and I’m thinking about a 12’ aluminum vee hull, tired of the deflatables and Don’t want to spend 10k on a fiberglass dinghy. Anyone else use one of these little boats? I had a 16’ for years that was awesome but...

We just signed the contract on this beauty. Any opinions from Catalina owners?

That happened to us once. We had 2 5/8’ lines running thru the hawsers with no chafe protection, but the sharp bend split on of the lines. I switched to 3/4’ lines and went direct to the cleats bypassed the sharp bend of the hawsers and haven’t had any troubles since.

Has anyone had first hand experience with NPP agm batteries?

Looking for a simple battery install, I’m thinking of sharing my port engine battery with the generator, separate from the rest of the boat with a large battery. Then have a large battery bank for the stbd. Engine and house bank combined. I’ll have an inverter to run a med sized refrigerator and...

Anyone have any comments on these boats? 42’ range. Tnx.

I’d change from wet cells to AGM, I have 8D’s now but they are too heavy to move around. I’d like a simple set up, one bank per eng with a selector switch to the house panel. I like the idea of separate banks. We anchor out most of the time and I don’t want to run the genny all night. We have a...

I’m looking at building two battery banks consisting of 5 12v 100amp batteries for each bank, totaling 1000 AH, some battery suppliers recommend only 4 batteries per bank. Any idea why? I called the company and they were no use,

Thanks guys, I was hoping for those low numbers, PH Hoffnet the boat we’re looking at is similar to yours. I’m guessing at idle she would do around 4-5 knots ? Bump up to 1200-1300 would put me around 7 knots. Coming from a sailboat we’re pretty happy. I understand I’ll have to run them up every...

Curious question? Anyone have a pair of these that can give an approximate fuel burn at slow speeds 7-8 knots in a 40’ something vessel? Tnx
