I thank everyone for their kind, well thought out reasoning. I will give this boat a pass at least for now. Jean-Pierre

Jean-Pierre I agree with all prior comments, but I'd like to add that when an Amel owner decides on such a huge modification, he/she probably changed a lot of other things aboard, trying to

Jean-Pierre, There are enough non modified , well maintained 1990 SM to avoid this curious one. In fact you will have a lot of difficulties in some years to re-sell her due to the propulsion

Since we're discussing rudder cables again, I'm hoping someone can offer clues on lubrication points on a Maramu. I have not figured out how to lube the system.

First, to be clear, Bill on Bebe did not buy his boat from me and I am not making contributions to his retirement account. I am thankful for having earned his confidence over the years and will

I am in the final step to purchase the SM2K, just want to double check the maximum rpm the engine should reach. The turbo has been previously changed, was clugged due to the lack of high rpm, it seens

Jean-Pierre, As a former owner of two successive Amels, and two other boats too, I support entirely Bill’s point of view. To try to characterize Amels when compared to Oyster, I would say that

Jean-Pierre, Merci beaucoup! However, I do not consider myself anymore qualified than many other Amel owners who contribute to this Group. I would like to make 3 points: Point 1: A modification

Hello Jean Pierre, Interesting that the price of a non-standard engine/drive system is above that of a genuine Amel. I think most of us would be unhappy at the thought of changing the drive system.

Hello Tony, If you look for past messages about the watermaker you will find that the majority never use a steriliser and rely on flushing with product water after use especially if the machine is not

Greets SV BeBe, (Bill) Having spent some time on this forum, I am already aware of your status as a "tech guru"… :-). I am sure you have been thanked for your efforts but I wish to add to the

Hello everyone. I have to leave my Amel 54 for about 4 months, afloat in Sicily. I am concerned about the watermaker. I don't have access here to any sterilizer. Can anyone give me some simple
