Re: Wife gets sick with Diesel smell??

Well I guess I'll be the first to say it - get her smoking some weed!

In all seriousness essential oils may be the solution. A wipe of...

Re: Multihull Weight Saving Stratagies

Thanks, I noticed that one too with the PDQ (wow, what a nice vessel!). Flip open a multihull mag and everyone's doing it. I would be interested in seeing some engineering specs and tests on models...

Re: Multihull Weight Saving Stratagies

Nice! Did you do any rudder mods due to the extensions? How was balance?
Have any before and after data, for speed, capacity etc? It seems motion is vastly improved, but the potential payload...

Re: Opinions on ex-racing boat

I may be biased but I think Hooked is a great example of a race boat with a wonderful cruising conversion. It is actually Wings's sistership.

The PO says he spent 150k on the cruising conversion...

Re: Potential Buyer Asking for a "Test Drive"

What percentage of brokers are captains?

Re: Multihull Weight Saving Stratagies

We all know some owners added them and some builders also, ex. Seawind 1000 - 1000XL.

It seems added capacity aft sure would be...

Re: Boat buying blues (Rant)

Imho, at 30k you shouldn't be going to brokers. For one, they get 10%...of course they.are going to push the higher priced boat. Secondly, most of them suck, sorry, I know there are some good ones...
