Re: Saona 47 for a life long monohuller

Two wood. One of which was my only powerboat. The rest mono glass. Was a serious racer for a couple decades so boats got “stale”. I remember pulling a 44 footer every night and wet sanding for a...

Re: Saona 47 for a life long monohuller

Helia

Have a good sail and thanks for your input! I beat you on years owning boats (44), but your 19 boats beats my 12. I agree there is a lot of junk info out there, and I’ve also found props...

Helia 44
Have you seen any test data on the Volvo folding props? I have a long and positive history with both Maxprop and Flexifold. The article on props in Yachting Monthly was spot on based on...

Re: Saona 47 for a life long monohuller

Helia. Thanks tons. The choices are the 50 or 60 so you have me leaning to the Volvo’s. I’ll owe you a drink as it will save me $11,000 (less $15k for Yanmar plus $4,000 for bigger Volvo). My current...

Re: Saona 47 for a life long monohuller

Long chat with my commissioning manager. While I have had 30 years trouble free history with Yanmar, including my latest 80 hp model, a 2015, the price premium would only be valuable if Volvo was a...

Re: Saona 47 for a life long monohuller

Helia

Thanks so much. They are good looking davits. Also, good input on the Volvo MDI. Someone would have to show me how to do it as I am less mechanically inclined but for about $12k net...

Re: Saona 47 for a life long monohuller

Helia 44 - a question. I have three options for the dinghy. The platform which I have ruled out as being too expensive, too weight sensitive and, for me, a potential maintenance issue. The second...

Re: Saona 47 for a life long monohuller

Thanks tons for the past two responses. I'd like to get more input on Volvo versus Yanmar. The only issue I've heard, and I hear it a lot, is the problem with the Volvo black box. It cost quite a...

Re: Saona 47 for a life long monohuller

Best article ever. I've had (and loved) both Maxprop and Flexifold. I was reluctant to go with Flexifold because I had been so happy with my Maxprop on two boats, but the dealer of my Beneteau said...

Re: Saona 47 for a life long monohuller

Thanks so much! Very helpful. Do you remove the generator impeller as it appears redundant? Also, will the generator still detect non water flow and shut off automatically?

Re: Saona 47 for a life long monohuller

Tell me more. Tell me more. What is a "march pump"? I had to replace an impeller at 50 hours on my 7.5kw Onan. Annoying both in terms of longevity as well as difficulty to get to. My dealer had...

Re: Saona 47 for a life long monohuller

I use a microwave a lot and the oven seldom. I am thinking of replacing the oven with a convection microwave. I understand I’ll need to run the generator to bake bread, but I will have 13.5 kw for...

Saona 47 for a life long monohuller

Just pulled the trigger on a Saona 47. Scheduled ex factory November 2019. I’ve owned single hulled boats for more than 40 years with a Beneteau Sense 50 my current boat. What convinced me was the...
