Greenline 40 Hybrid. I hate to admit

[krush]

....that I think I like this boat: http://www.yachtworld.com/boats/2012.../United-States

Anybody have any info about them?

[Dan Mapes]

Take a close look. I'll bet their efficiency claims are bogus.

[krush]

How about these...look pretty nice too. Obviously none of these are built as heavy as a Hatt, but for most, who cares?

As for the Greenline efficiency, the claims appear to be close, but it's more the design that intrigues me. Very efficient and useful. Gorgeous lines.

Vdub power? No scandals there.

[krush]

They also come with Volvo power.

I forgot to put link above, the Beneteau Swift Trawler is interesting form/function too http://www.beneteau.com/us/news/bene...-swift-trawler

How many marinas do you know of that speak Fahrvergnügen?

Eventually this technology will catch on and popularity will dictate that mechanics will develop the skills to maintain boats like the Greenline, but now not so much.

You do realize many of them are just conventional diesel power? It's not a prius lol.

I do, and those boats will have the "great" network of current mechanics available to maintain them. As for the hybirds that's a different story.

Are the VW marine TDI's being recalled like the US passenger cars? There may not be too many left after they crush all of them.

Cummins was selling them a while back.

Not sure if the marine versions were effed up for epa bshaw@tandbergusa.com or not.
