    Lovely vessel! Do you have headroom everywhere except perhaps he engine room? Finding a boat with 6' 6" headroom must have been a challenge. I'm only a tad under 6'5" and I have a hard time finding boats without head-banger places.

    Bob, I am a new subscriber (may/22) of yours and going back to your previous videos to learn as much as possible on the OA 548. Nice video on changing the oil on your Cats. Had a C12 in my Motorcoach for 11 years Cat was great. You have a nice clean engine room and glad to see you are using Cat filters. Safe travels.

    Really like the OA 548 layout. We know the max boat height limit is 19.5’ for the Loop. With your OA did you have to lower the radar arch or just remove the Radar?

    • @mvsoulmate5891
      @mvsoulmate5891 2 роки тому

      Thank you. No need to drop the arch! We have a Seaview hinged adapter that allows us to drop the radar and navigation light back below the arch. It two clamps and down it comes.

    I understand that meaningful Moment. For me it was Co-Captain bringing a 70 foot yacht back to Seattle from Cordoba Alaska. As we left Prince William Sound and turned out into that vastness of the Gulf of Alaska my Captain buddy looked at me as I sat at the helm and said....Did you ever think you would be Captaining a vessel at 60 degrees North....Well, welcome to the club my friend 😊
