Wow. 12-18 months is not bad at all. I just had a 27’ cat built and it took 21 months.

Rented a 34 Mainship from SWFY not long ago. Spent a week between Boca Grande and Marco Island. Tons of great spots in this area. I enjoyed the Naples, Marco, Cape Romano area the most. We did BG, CC, Captiva, Sanibel, Keeywadin, Naples, Marco and Cape Romano. I think SWFY has a southern...

I appreciate your very well thought out approach to this build. Ive been accused of over-thinking and spending more time than most deem necessary on major decisions from time to time. No need for buyers regret when you're confident that you've thoroughly evaluated all feasible options and made...

A colleague owns a 92 foot motor yacht with 4 of the Volvo IPS 900 (700 HP) pod packages. The yacht is impressively maneuverable considering it's length. The power package provides for an optimal cruise speed in the 20 kt range. Fuel burn at cruise is around 70 GPH. For having 4 engines, the...

Some very nice looking rigs. Ive been a die hard orange fan for as long as I can remember but I've become a fan of blue as of late. New Holland TC45DA. Put 1000 hours on her in the past few years and I enjoy every minute of it.

The simple answer is 'I don't know'. For the last 2 years, we chartered a 34 Mainship and became very comfortable with the boat. It feels much larger than 34' and we both really like the size of the bridge. Interior space is very functional and engine room access is pretty good. Looked at...

For anybody interested in Little Gasparilla Island, I would highly recommend renting on the island before purchasing. Over the years, there have been some serious challenges with access from the mainland. Primarily parking and dockage. We've known several that have bought only to regret the...

I've looked at several properties in CC over the past few months and there are still some very good values to be had. My problem with that area is the density. Too many homes in too small of an area. Some waterfront homes are also quite a ways to get to open water through skinny canals and...

Interested in the same 2 vessels. For us, it's more of a modern vs. classic debate. Wifey is strongly on the modern side of the fence so that's likely the direction we will head. I've looked at several GB's from this time frame that have been re-wired. Most look as though the owners did the...

Looks very nice. Amazing to get 14 kts out of only 160 HP. Great efficiency.

Just wanted to say thank you for all of the wonderful info on this forum. Long time lurker in SW FL. Wife and I are lifelong boaters and are moving up to a 35-40 foot trawler for extended time on the water and to check out from the daily grind for a while. We've chartered every year for the...
