I read about the Lagoon 440 diesel/electric system, and it seems too good to be true.

I understand the physics (modern submarines use this), but is it practical to use? Do you really get almost...

How much is it to modify a Lagoon 440 for .50cal BMG mounts?

Call me crazy, but if I were to skipper a yacht with crewmembers, I would require that we conduct a pre-voyage life raft drill. Pop the raft and require every crewmember to jump from a pier, boat,...
