This would be my perfect boat . I could launch it at Newport Bay and "putt" to Catalina Island for the weekend . I want one 👍😎

When I try to think of any other boats that can do what Gulf Mariner does for me I can’t think of much if any. It’s the perfect boat for me for sure.

Looks like Mark Bay. I'm pretty sure I've seen you sailing past Stones Marina. Beautiful little boat and she looks very capable and lots of fun.

Yes and yes. This is Mark Bay and it was either me or my friend who had the boat now sailing past Stones. It is a great little boat for sure.

2 liters an hour? For real? Thats phenomenal. Thats at 7 knots?

@topfunguy2281 Ай бұрын

It’s about 2.23 litres an hour at 2,500 RPM and 6 knots. 3.5 litres an hour at 3,000 RPM at 7 knots which is still pretty good.

2700 rpm seems awfully high

@topfunguy2281 3 ай бұрын

The Yanmar is rated at 3,600 RPM. Everything that I’ve read says that it is best to run a diesel at 85% of maximum rated RPM which works out to be 3,060 RPM for this engine. According to the fuel curve in the specs, the engine is most fuel efficient at around 2,700 RPM. These days I spend a lot of time running around 2,500 RPM or less. This engine purrs at any speed.

Model IS25.....you mean Independent shipwrights and its 25 ft LOA? It actually looks like a Glen L. model from the 1970s.

@topfunguy2281 5 ай бұрын

The model is an IS25. You are correct. It is remarkably similar to the Glen L Hercules Tug.

Wow so around 15mpg? How much do these usually sell for?

@topfunguy2281 6 ай бұрын

Yes, they are very fuel efficient little cruisers. There were less than 20 of them made, so they don’t come up for sale that often. They were very heavily and well made and have stood the test of time. If you found one you could count on it being about 1/2 to 1/3 of the cost of a comparable Nordic tug 26 or Ranger Tug 25.

You really have your Danica looking great. After having my Danica for many years I past it on last year and miss it dearly. Spent 30 nights on it in various places around Vancouver Island and even sailed off Nootka Sound almost out of sight of land. Whisper handled the open sea quite well. I wanted to sail the summer solstice straight out using up all the daylight. After a short night drifting sail my way back in. I chickens out when I saw I would be sitting right in the shipping lane. Once again I love what you are doing with your Danica16. I will be watching for your summer adventures. Have fun.

A little south of you here in Puget Sound, I would sail my Monty 17's loose footed to get all the air I could grab. Yes, the Danica/Halman/ Nordica points well due to that cruiser keel. Subscribed.
