Thanks for the reply, we have to be in Florida by early December so it sounds like its doable , draft is about 4 feet i think , but will confirm, when you say shallow, how shallow?/

Todd Pearce

Bump
Anyone done this trip so late in the season ??, is the weather agreeable at that time of year?? , i suspect it could be tricky that close to winter, but have zero knowledge of the area and conditions
all information gratefully received
Cheers Todd

Todd Pearce

Pete, thanks for that , they have a ship leaving in december that will drop it in NZ for $96500 usd water to water, so that just leaves me with the problem of moving it from New York to Florida, i have asked here for some in put,( but had no info as yet ) to see if such a trip is even doable that la...

Todd Pearce

Mike, thanks for coming back to me , I will contact Bruce today
Tony, i think a captain is the only choice for me, again thanks

Todd Pearce

It would appear the only way to ship this 60FT salthouse back to new zealand is to ship it from Florida, i would have to have it in palm beach by December, I dont know the logistics of this trip let alone the weather at this time of year, the boat has been unused for 3 years so we require some time ...

Todd Pearce

I am back on the hunt for a reasonable price to export this boat from Maryland/Baltimore/Philly to New Zealand , so far i am having trouble finding anyone interested in doing it let alone at a reasonable price , i know its not going to be a cheap affair Any and all contacts/ idaes / advice is welcomed

Todd Pearce

Whos watching this Americas cup?? i love the AC cup, these new 75s are just crazy, foiling at over 50 knots!!! Amercian Magic looks quick too

HI to all , I am looking at a boat in Piney Narrows Marina in NY, looking for a very thorough ,knowledgeable mechanic who really knows there Yanmars, boat has a pair of 6CXM ETE 420hp open to all and any comments on this and these engines as i dont know much about them
Thanks in advance

Todd Pearce

I used the high tide one on mine about 4 years ago now, love it great product

Todd Pearce

Thanks to everyone for the input and great photos, we have decided to follow suit and make our own, , to buy the part here in NZ the first quote was 9k, its ridiculous and whats insulting is the part is only 4 years old and its failed, youd think Cummins would recognize they have made a shit part an...

Todd Pearce

all our Maritimo and Riviera yachts ( 50 foot plus) down here are optional with them so its definitely doable, ill ask the guys here what brand they are, i assumed they were readily available in the USA, perhaps i am wrong

Todd Pearce

I am surprised by the cost of this part, ( part no 3897800) exhaust elbow,$2700 usd,,,,,, it seems so excessive for what it is, is there an alternative supplier, a better than factory part? it seems like these fail a lot, any and all thoughts welcome

Todd Pearce

I am looking for experience/ advice on the hydraulic swim platform mechanical units , theres lots out there but who makes a great one???

Todd Pearce

Thanks gentlemen, ill make good use of those recommendations, looking forward to seeing the boat in the flesh Hucth, thanks for your thoughts, the boat here in NZ is a very unusual layout/configuration that i don`t like, that boats been for sale for over two years , its actually in good condition, b...

Todd Pearce

The boat i am looking at in a few weeks is a 60 ft enclosed bridge boat, it was built 2000, so i thinking it will need a repaint, its in Baltimore ish area, thinking its worth investigating painting it there rather than back in NZ, we dont have the level of dedicated facilities that you have, also a...

Todd Pearce

Thanks to everyone, some great advice, its getting closer now so i am getting things organised,
As usual everyone here has been great , its very very much appreciated

Todd Pearce

Carl, yes i think we might struggle on fuel range to drive her home!! She`d be a long haul that`s for sure, funny enough i`ve been told it can be done, but its not an option for me, i am not that brave!! Team i am arriving the 19th and there for 4 days staying locally to the boat, any cool things to...

Todd Pearce

thanks guys, one last question, approximately what would i expect to pay for a survey in the usa

Todd Pearce

Thanks to you both, haven't booked flights yet as my dad is very ill but either the 20th feb, or the 10th march just waiting to see how it all plays out but i am very keen to get up there

Todd Pearce

Hi to all, I am planing on flying up from New Zealand ( 17 hours direct to JFK ) to look at a boat located at the Kent Narrows Yacht Yard, which is pretty close to Annapolis/yorktown, the last boat i had surveyed in the USA the surveyor did a very poor job and i paid the price,this time i want a goo...

Todd Pearce

HI to all , this came up on ebay, i think i remember reading a bit about these boats here somewhere , thought it might be of interest to someone, ps not affiliated to it in any way https://www.ebay.com/itm/155992451136?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=Xew5Dzl3R6W&sssrc=2047675&ssuid=&w...

https://www.marlinmag.com/boats/boat-reviews/salthouse-60/ So i couldn't seem to post just an image so the link to the article is the best i can do, In the 2000s Post the Auckland New Zealand Americas Cup,the American challenger took 3 salthouse 60s back with them to Annapolis/Maryland ,they were so...

Todd Pearce

my guess is shes a B510 awesome rig

Todd Pearce

Thanks guys, i will await the contacts Yannis, very much appreciated, i was shocked to see this boat up for sale in Maryland, but theres an interesting back story, shes a Salthouse 60, one off 3 commissioned for the 2003/4 Americas cup buy an american syndicate , they ran them for the cup and loved ...

Todd Pearce

Hi does anyone here have a great contact for shipping a 60ft boat from Baltimore area to New Zealand
this is notoriously expensive to do, but ive found a great boat, actually originally built here in NZ and i have my fingers crossed it can be done at a reasonable cost, any help greatly appreciated

Todd Pearce

Carl thats great feedback, picture i am getting is that servicing and major services are crucial and expensive but if done ,quite reliable

Todd Pearce

Tony, after rebuilding mine i needed to get some fun back in return, but its been 7 years, and the kids are now adults and i really want a full size galley ive looked at a viking, good boat, but my heart is in a Bertram, trouble is there`s not many for sale at the moment and for the age they are qui...

Todd Pearce

I am lurking around looking at B510s to upgrade too, one boat i am looking at has V12 Mans at 1360 hp, I am nervous of MANs in the first place Q 1 what are the V10 MANs like for reliability and service costs Q 2 as above but V12s at 1360 hp Are these old MANs going to bite me in the ass or are they ...

Todd Pearce

My friend has twin cummins QSB 380s, problem is the exhaust elbow of the turbo , they keep failing and there is a factory upgrade to a SST unit, trouble is here in NZ its crazy expensive, anyone got a friendly Cummins parts dealer i can contact, completely open to any and all advice/options, his boa...

Todd Pearce

Having rebuilt my B42 , iam just not up for a major project, i’ve read what i can and listened to a few people and i’ve settled on a Bertram 510. hard to find in NZ so the other boats on the list are the Maritimo 52 and Salthouse 57, the later is a Semi production boat build here in NZ but very very...

Todd Pearce

I am contemplating moving up to a b510 or a b570 , would love to hear feedback from anyone who has run them, thanks for reading this
Cheers Todd

Todd Pearce

HI, thanks for reading this and for all answers and advice given Iam thinking about adding a day boat to my boat collection,( don`t tell the wife she will shoot me!!) < but i know very little about the evolution of the 25/26 boats, A 28 is a possibility but i think i`am more a 25/26 guy, so can anyo...

Todd Pearce

Really appreciate the help
merry xmas to you n yours

Todd Pearce

Tried the web site and nothing for Agean blue unfortunately

Todd Pearce

That would be amazing if you could please
have a great Xmas
Regards Todd

Todd Pearce

Love some pics, will send email, but the main question i had, is what is the actual paint and paint color,, so pretty!!, i ve got a classic ski boat i want to paint that color here in NZ

Todd Pearce

HI to all a little while back there were photos posted of a beautifully restored Baron 20 in light aqua blue with a white stripe, in the pictures it had fold up picnic chairs in the helm, absolutely stunning boat, i am trying to find the thread and cant , any help gratefully received
regards Todd

Todd Pearce

AS Daniel said, i am probably the best qualified to answer your questions and as such please feel free to contact me personally for a chat My journey was 5 years long and i have the worlds most expensive Bertram42/folly , Shes absolutely no stone un-turned rebuilt and stunning!!!! Would I do it agai...

Todd Pearce

Hi , i used a Webasto Diesel heater, its great in that you have silent heat anytime you want, long after the engines have gone cold, absolutely the best edition to the boat ever, would highly recommend it

Todd Pearce

to my knowledge the early to 1988 46,6 is roughly the same boat, the later 93 -96 is an updated version produced around the same time as the new 37 and is of the same series as the 37, Check out David Pascoe`s web site , he seems quite knowledgeable, and writes some good articles, i rebuild my 42 , ...

Todd Pearce

Iam running a webasto diesel heater, BEST BEST BEST investment ever, totally quiet, burns 300-400 mils diesel an hour and the whole boat is warm, adds 6 weeks either side of the season to our boating, i cant say enough abut how great this has been, we get amazingly still winter weather but friken co...

Todd Pearce

what about NO ENGINES!!! what would it cost to just get it towed where you want to go???, just have a genset for power

Todd Pearce

i had multiple leaks on my old girl , a lot off them were from the rub rail joint bolts not being sealed properly, fortunately we rectified those very quickly and easily, ,but one way to look for your leak is to do it in reverse,cover the outside in very soapy water on a still day and with another p...

Todd Pearce

I run a B42, its 18 tons wet, i seriously doubt outboards would really work, A B42 is 17 degrees deadrise at aft, its not just the HP its the bite that HP gets, outboard props are very small and you`d have to find Xl Shaft engines,, i see B42s with 6v92s come up for sale all the time ,and thats the ...

Todd Pearce

tony, i went online and stared looking at 54s, i very quickly felt ILL, oh the photos reminded me of everything that has to be done to these old boats, i dont think i could go there again, just to much work , to many hours , to much time in the shed instead of boating with the family, i literally fe...

wow she does some amazing work,

Todd Pearce

Tony, i hadnt thought of a 54 , good idea ill do some reserch, not sure i want to do another one, very ' all consuming' might be cheaper to buy a modern boat rather than getting a divorce
