Next message: Richard Quarles: "Re: T&T: Overheat / Gage problems"
Have a question for those who have active fin stabilizers on their current
boat in operational condition. Question: Would you prefer to have your boat
without the stabilizers?
We have active fin stabilizers and would not own a boat without them. As for
the drag, the loss of a fractional knot, the use of a little more diesel, etc,
a look at the forest rather than using a microscope on a single tree may be in
order. If you have active fin stabilizers, or are considering them, you have
already spent a good amount of money on a boat. Then you have/will have handed
over a $35K plus for stabilizers, either as an install or in the price of the
boat. And we are debating the cost of a couple of gallons of diesel fuel in
each tank full for a significant improvement in cruising comfort. Excuse me, I
have to go get the boat ready for departure today for a week cruise, and yes,
the stabilizers will be on and they are welcome to the power they need to
operate.
Pete
