850ft Drillship working everywhere in the Gulf of Mexico. Up to 200 users of the Starlink internet at a time onboard. Never slows down. It smokes the rig net satellite system that we use as backup. That service is $15,000 per month for internet. Starlink is way cheaper per month.

I repowered my boat last year with new 2022 EFI, Honda BF40 twins. Replaced the exact same engines 26 years newer. Repowering cost with rigging nema 2000 everything, latest controls, new SS props, $18,000. The boat feels like it has a 115 hp. with the torque of the twins! Easy to replace no...

Big fan of Starlink! It has made my life so nice on the ship I work on. We have the commercial version. Super fast, the system keeps working even with winds 65 kts., seas 24 ft., and rain that flood the decks 6 inchs deep. Never looses a connection! The system worth every penny.

Vero Beach Manicipal Marina is nice. Busy this time of year, but we were able to get a slip with our 22 in peak season. Nice showers and free shuttle bus into town. Boat ramp walking distance to this marina overnight free parking allowed very safe. Moorings allow up to 3 boats at time per...

Make sure the shifters are in neutral. Sounds obvious, but this will not allow the engines to start.

Thanks Doctor. Did not mean to hijack the thread. That’s the only picture that I had uploaded to the website. Now back to the fuel tank. 😆

Nope the tank is built with an access arch, that's where my aft bilge pump is and drain plug. There is a picture in my galley photos that you can see what it looks like. Click the link below it will take you to the picture. http://www.c-brats.com/albums/album3057 ... .sized.jpg

Oh wow,19.5 KWH for battery power. So you can run one Navy 3.0 outboard at 2 KW 9.6 hours, run two motors at 4 KW 4.8 hours. Going to need a-lot of roof space for solar panels to recharge it up in five hours for the next day. Even if you’re able to put 5000 watts of solar on the roof of a...

Yup it’s original to the boat. One large tank separated in the middle with an internal bulkhead. Each side is 25 gallons with separate fuel pickups, separate fuel fills, sending units, and a selector valve. I like the commercial workboat look too.

My boat has one large aluminum tank. It is separated in the middle by a bulkhead in the tank. It is 25 gallons per side. Love it and will replace it with the same tank if the time ever comes. I like the extra burn time with the metal tank if there was ever a fire onboard compaired to plastic...

How many E135 batteries are you planning to get to power the two Navy 3.0 outboards? (They are 8090 watts each)

Thanks for the post. (Following) Was wondering how your are coming up with numbers that compair a 12 foot aluminum boat (on the Navy spec. sheet) and the weight and windage of a C-dory 22? How are you going to get 40 miles out of two of these motors? My math shows your going to need at least 8...

I just bought the ECOFLOW River Pro 2 for my 22. It runs my two Engels, one a fridge, and one a freezer for 18 hrs. (12v) It weighs 16lbs. charges up off my Honda 2200 in one hour (850watts)! The outboard will trickel in at 101 watts of charging while underway. Picked it up on Amazon Prime Day...

Thanks for the recommendations from the seasoned ICW crowd! Downloading the app now. Looks pretty awesome. We plan putting in either at Jim King or Joe Carlucci Sisters Creek boat ramp. Sailing South 8 miles on the ICW to Palm Cove Marina (first night). Then heading back north to do the...

Planning a boat adventure to Jacksonville Fl. area, then up to Cumberland Island, Ga. in a couple of weeks. Looking for any marina recommendations and was wondering how secure the dockage at the Jacksonville Metropolitan Park Marina is?

Thanks for posting these water containers. I'm definitely going to be getting some of these to replace the ones I have now. Inexpensive, made in the USA too!

Oh boy here we go again! Ha Ha Twin pros: Awesome maneuverability at the dock, shallower draft with smaller lower units (on plane to), it costs me $90 dollars total for both outboard's maint., two engines have way more lower end torque than a single with less needed hp. than a single engine...

The USCG tests have been frozen since 1984. This is one reason why when someone gets up into the unlimited licenses, the exam rooms have Bowditch 2 published in 1984. Small boats and lighter tonnage licenses have no need for information in books like that anymore. Just ask Google but they don't...

Being a Professional Mariner too, I can feel his pain as I read his post. No need for Celestial Navigation anymore, we have satellites instead of stars now. Computers, smart phones, and the internet with ships so automated they cannot sail without. Pretty soon I will be able to do my job from...

This is really soft bunk carpet. https://cudapowersports.com/ Wanted to send the proper link. I redid my trailer with this 3 months ago. Not cheap, but it's thick, and is made for trailer bunks. Had great reviews, so far so good for my baby! Mark
