Re: Lavezzi 40 galley organization

Wow. What a useless and arrogant post. The lady makes her first post here and you have to be a jerk? If you have nothing useful to add why post anything at all. As you know all boats are a compromise...

Re: Lavezzi 40 water tank guage

Thank you for the detailed reply. Mine is the 3 cabin and I have located the access on the port side. Now I just have to try and troubleshoot the guage. I’ll let you know what I find out.

Re: Does Lavezzi originally have 1 left and one right turning Propeller or both right

Re: Lavezzi rudder bearings

Do you happen to have any photos of the bearings or when you removed them? So the lower outer races are laminated to the hull? The rudders have just been removed and I am trying to figure out what...

Re: Lavezzi front salon windows

Re: Lavezzi rudder bearings
