I see you are in St. Pete....

The question I have for you is when are we taking your parents new ride to the Middlegrounds?

And to add my 2 cents to your question, since 75 foots boats aren't a dime a dozen I'll assume you have some financial backing for your selection.

I would consider a diesel powered Bauer Capitano since the power for your boat will probably be diesel as well. You wouldn't want to go any bigger than a Capitano otherwise you would be filling your tanks too fast.

Sounds like you've got a crew J. I've even got a portable compressor I could bring!

A boat that big has pleanty of AC power. I'd go with an electric. What kind of boat?

I'll second the Bauer Capitano suggestion. My compressor came off a Sport Fishing boat
in the Carolinas-it wasn't used much,must of been more fisherman than divers. It had a very long hose to fill remotely. They are a great size to minmize the space the unit takes up onboard and can also put out enough more air for personal diving needs. Good luck.
