Hi,
Just checking to see if anyone has experience with this model as far as stabilizers go. I am surveying a 1983 48' Defever with 2 Ford Lehmans 120hp so cruise should be 6-7 knots. I had a single engine 41' Defever that rolled a lot in any type of beam sea. I'm evaluating whether I will need to ad stabilizers to this boat. I've heard that this boat is fairly stable and I may be able to avoid adding them. Just wanted to hear from anyone that has experience on this 48' Defever.
Thanks,
