the equipment is really out there - 2 black box furunos, 2 nobletecs and 10 monitors all over the boat - switchable via touchpads to any function...here is a shot I like of behind the scenes:

Beautiful install. Love this pic. I have seen medium sized commercial strip malls where all the data wiring bundles haven't been much, if any, bigger.
Do you have any idea of two numbers....planing speed (minimum) and top end?
OT: Looks like they have cleaned up the Pier 17 site a little since the spring... anything going on there?
Your guys did a redo on a friend's Little Harbor 58 early this year at Loggerhead in Hollywood, seemed like a conscientious group...
I think that boat was originally owned by a guy I know on LI years ago, no? Same boat, do you know?[/quote]
This boat was originally built for John Staluppi. At that time it had a center Textron TF-40 turbine at 4600 hp and along with the two 3480 hp MTU's, set the fastest yacht record. The turbine has since been removed.
Pricing for Ku bandwidth (VSAT) cost around $5,500 per month for 1 Mhz..... I can not imagine what this guy spends on his boat annually.

had a 200 foot motorsailer that the "Kids" (20's) took out to the Bahamas for the weekend with full crew...Daddy stayed home. VSAT bill was $70K for a weeks use...lotta facebook!

That isn't another world. It's another dimension in time and space.

Those are weighty thoughts. Or maybe they just had to see that baby puking on youtube 25 times each?
I thought you and I were clear when I paid you in cash for this job that you would not post any pictures of it until my people were able to get it cleaned up!?

Those look like Furuno arrays? Do they operate at different frequencies; iow can they both be run at the same time, or is one a backup? How's that work?
Ahhh, "Staloopi"..... a different Long Islander than I was thinking, but I knew I had seen that boat around here....
$70k for vsat for a long weekend. I bitch about the extra $4.99 per month I have to pay DirecTV for my M1!!! My goodness...... different dimension and time is RIGHT!!!!!

Glen,
The price I quoted is the contract price Uncle Sam pays. Good grief I hate to see his yearly bill. We lock the prices in per the Mhz per month on multi year contracts, so we definately come out cheaper.
