Sky, I also thought they did a great job on that boat also, but it has been for sale for quite awhile. John

Re: 65' Long Range Cruiser
The numbers make a lot of sense with my own detroit experiences, but I didn't want to advertise a fuel consumption rate that was this efficient without knowing more about the boat. My Hargrave moves through the water pretty effortlessly. While I know I can far improve my consumption with something less that the 12 holes, something more modern, I really like knowing the power is there for thrust when you want it given the mass.
If I ever have to rebuild the 12's, I can see myself going to a high torque 6, and in doing so would likely double my range. I just don't have the cruising experience of a Hatt larger than 50 that isn't up on a plane.

Re: 65' Long Range Cruiser
She is a indeed beautiful vessel - classic looks both outside and inside. A few things bother me, though - the first being the 2 generators without sound shields as I would have thought the noise from DDC 20kW in particular would be very intrusive. Second, the Detroit Diesels even with a zero hours rebuild have 1360+ hours on them - how long would they be expected to reliably continue in service (though they were used in the past, they are not common engines in Europe). I could see this vessel being a great retirement cruiser for the Bahamas and West Indies - not so much in Europe due to the cost of diesel (£1.25/$1.40 per litre at last count) so even filling up once a year would be an expensive, even in Gibraltar which IIRC has the cheapest diesel in Europe.
Anyway, I can still dream.

Re: 65' Long Range Cruiser
1360 hours on 671n's is nothing. They could easily reach 10,000hrs or maybe even 20,000 before the next rebuild. And parts are available anywhere in the world.
If you can't afford the fuel, you probably can't afford the boat. Fuel, even at those prices, would still be the cheapest part of owning and maintaining the boat.Sky Cheney
