"Diesel Duck" is a term coined by George Buehler for his power boats. Anybody can build them, many are built as one-offs, and Seahorse Yachts are a commercial boat builder who commissioned George to provide the 462 and 382 (and 542?) designs for them to build there models exclusively. I...

Anyway trawler channels i am subscribed to on Youtube include: Aboard Mermaid Monster Cassidy's Sailing Trawler Cruising Sea Venture Dangar Marine Dashew Offshore (think they may retired from boating now) Diesel Duck Fleming Yachts Lady Dew Build MV Ammomite Motorsailing for old dudes MV...

i always wonder how people find the time to generate the number of videos that they post, think of interesting topics, time to film, edit, post etc. According to www.socialblade.com SV Delos makes $11K - $175.9K per year (big range!); Mermaid Monster $406 - $6.5K; Tula's Endless Summer $1.7K...

i have been following RAN Sailing too, they did just buy a new yacht and been doing various mods and I think they are off next year, so should become more interesting. Kids can be hard work, not sure how i would go on a small yacht with a baby!

I guess you need to consider what it is that you are trying to achieve. Getting a onboard compressor to fill a much higher pressure may not be possible as the compressor wont do it, and overall you will end with increased run hours on the compressor due the the higher pressure. I used to dive...

Was they delay due to the number of 68 orders they received in a short time (7ish?) I am guessing Covid would also have had some scheduling impact.

so when is the expected delivery date?

Here a link to another discussion thread about a large 74 ft double ender for sale https://www.trawlerforum.com/forums/s35/diesel-duck-ellemaid-30194.html

Interesting new direction for Nordhavn competing in the superyacht market and hope it works outs. I like the look of the boat, maybe a few too many windows, and as they say, steel is real!

Consider looking for a trawler that can be used as for what you want to do. Everynow and then a nice one come up that would do what you want to do for a reasonable price Pleasure Boats | Qld Fishing Brokerage...

Any update?

Asking price is now US$394k. Looking at the words and pics in the ad, it is a lesson in how to try and not entice potential customers to buy a boat.

Just saw this come up in my YouTube feed, interesting interview, and over coming some mid-ocean challenges! https://youtu.be/blOJqzt8Rv4

Just to give an indication of how rough it can get there, Cyclone "Oma" just went by, but still 100's of miles away, and record 13m (40+ ft) waves were measured just off the coast where Dirona experienced her 69° roll :nonono:.

here is some interesting info https://www.machineservice.com/technical-101/vibrational-issues Noting the same basic setup appears to work acceptably on the slightly smaller 462, you may have just encountered in an unfortunate critical frequency with the slightly longer shafts etc?

Depending on the builder it could also at times be argued #1 was way overbuilt and by #40 they may have learnt to cut all the corners they can get away with! I wonder what the ratio of 1-off specials is to production boats

A boat is only worth what someone is willing to pay for it, and if you have negotiated a price than that is the value to you. And further to Gordon's comments, a lot extra's may be valuable to one person, but may not have the same value for someone else. I often think unless the extras are...

Came across these couple of interesting videos. Not often you can see how a boat really behaves in big seas but seeing this RC boat play around in the waves surprisingly little water comes over the bow! My guess is scaling up these must be 20ft+ seas at times and try to imagine you find...

A few small passagemakers that come to mind (some are slightly more than 46 ft:). Also comes down to what the definition of a passagemaker is as, as these boats are limited in fuel capacity and thus range, but some have gone long ways! Nordhavn 40 and 43 Watson 48 George Beuhler has...

Here are some links to photos of damage to Hamilton Island marina https://www.facebook.com/permalink.php?story_fbid=716986665140708&id=134080330098014 http://www.boatsales.com.au/editorial/news/2017/whitsundays-counting-the-cost-of-cyclone-debbie-58872/

They are very little work, put them in the water at the start of the journey, takes maybe 10 minutes, then retrieve them just before you get to the destination, another 10 minutes of work, and you stay dry and comfortable for the whole journey. Spend a bit money of diesel (which is not...

Agree it is not the boat for everyone but ar the link below to his won't be the largest duck for much longer. They are building an 80ft version THE BEST DD 382 IN THE WORLD FOR SALE - Topic

That does look like a good ladder to use to climb back on the boat. I hate in when the ladder is too short, and especially if it is a bit choppy, a longer ladder is much appreciated and can make it very easy and effortless to get back on board. Also many private boats lack good seats etc to...

I think this is the largest Buehler Diesel Duck out there. It has been for sale for a while, starting at more than $1million a few year back, and now asking $500k. i have always thought this model looks really good, and would be a fantastic boat to live on and see the world! 2009 Buehler 71...

UV is excellent at killing stuff in the water but it has nil residual effect, say like chlorine dosing. Therefore I would suggest that tiny amount of water those small pipes can circulate would do little to keep the tank clean.
