Re: From Monticello to....

So how much to fill that baby up ?????

Re: From Monticello to....

Thanks. I will try to make an better sound file of the baby in this weekend..

Need 1000 liters to fill it, then i think the bot use around 60-70 liters pr. hour in 25knp. In 10-12knp. it use around 20-30 liters pr. hour. The Prestancia used 40-50 liters pr. hour in 30-34knp. The Monticello was around 20-25 liters pr. hour.. A full tank cost with an diesel price at 12.50 NOK, 12 500 NOK or 2465 USD/1580 EUR.. It's expensive to fill diesel in Norway..

I made an movie at the delivery day of the exhaust. I will try to find it and post it later.

Well that was a nice post to find when I got home from work. I love everything you did with one exception......not over keen on the steering wheel !!!! however that wheel is more than likely worth more than my entire boat !!!!! LOL

Re: From Monticello to....

Hehe, that was great to hear. I have missed this forum and you nice guys.. The steeringwheels has actually arrived, i can't wait to fit them on the boat. I hate the OEM steering wheels so much.. The new steeringwheels is actually fra Italian and it's hand produced.

Yes, the underwater LED's is really cool, i just love them. Peoples here in Norway is impressed over how it looks.. I don't know how i should answer at the last setting, but i think Canada is a nice country. Maybe i should move to Canada some few years..? Hehe..
