Re: 10 Meter International Express

Here she is on way to dry dock. New shafts, new bottom (repairs), and new paint. This was at 16 knots. Looking at this pic... I could use some tabs ? Oh well .. too late now.

Re: 10 Meter International Express

I am not use to cruise ships at our harbor. This one stopped in Santa Barbara as I was entering the harbor. Gosh the sea is big and my boat is tiny.

Re: 10 Meter International Express

Re: 10 Meter International Express

I will post pics :) I need to download from my phone to the home pc. She is sweet looking from the outside but the cabin is original ... clean but blah. Thank you for viewing my post.

10 Meter International Express

I purchased and restored a 1985 Ten Meter International Express (Carolynn). The hour meters showed 279 hours. Mechanically she is almost as good as when she was first launched. She will easily cruise all day at 22 knots (3300 rpm). Her WOT is 4300 rpm and 30 knots depending on sea conditions. I use ...
