Yes we did come thru it and happy to hear Frank's boat was stored. Pirates Cove just built a huge facility and just completed last year, and it looks like that one made it out very well. Very sad to see it but all likely hood of me being there for the next couple of years is very high.

I went thru 2 years of repairing replacing on my ex 2015 SLX with 49 things wrong. I had the same problems with the hull and the same experiences with SR. MM is a different story. Some of you know my experiences in detail thru PM and what kind of hell I went thru. I can guarantee ONE thing there...

Cliff-What is the length of your snubber line?

I like it when they said "you should of bought the extended warranty" made me laugh!. Like the extended warranty would do anything for it

In its turbocharged variant, the new C12.9 offers a commendable 850 mhp made possible by FPT Industrial’s advancements in second-generation common rail technology as well as an expertly designed air management system; the engine’s small envelope and high power output make it the ideal choice for...

Thanks Frank, so its Caterpillars' for me.

I've been looking at several manufacturers this time around, but have given Tiara a serious look now. Are the C12.9 1000HP cat engine a great engine? Any known defects in them? Looking at C53 with that engine package in it.

You will not need a broker, it will sell quickly. It's a great looking boat with the modern upgrades!

Zach-Can you post the engine hours?

Only thing wrong with your pictures is me not being on it. Damn- its always looked great.

Damn now that is a picture. So someone ran over him if we fell off the bow? Need for information.

Thanks to the both of you. I don't want the dingy to be wider then the platform, but it appears that most dingy's are 5'ft wide (at least the ones I prefer). Does having that additional weight in the rear affect maneuverability or performance of the boat? I would think the manufacturers factor...

Is it OK for the dingy to hang over the platform (width wise)? I've also heard that it's not advisable to put the dingy on the rear of the boat do to irregular weight distribution? I am looking at a C53 Tiara, 510 SeaRay and Cruiser 50' Cantius. All have hydraulic platforms.

I enjoy being in the middle of it! I learn a lot of what I am not suppose to do, so that makes me a better boater.

Haven't heard of that particular problem. Sounds like boat owning to me.
