Just one last thought, totally independent of all the technicalities discussed so far. In principle, a well designed planing hull should become...
That's precisely what I meant what I envisaged the possibility of a leak in the fin actuator (post #63). PS: talking of the actuators, a question...
I wouldn't recommend anything, actually. Neither a full replacement nor any upgrade to the existing system. Not unless you are interested also in...
No worries, I fully understood your good spirit, and if my reply came across as if I were offended, it absolutely wasn't meant to - sorry about...
What do you mean "LOL"? Is there anything in the Bayliner demise that you found entertaining? Regardless, you'd better not hold your breath if you...
I really struggle to understand what in those seatrial results is bringing you to these conclusions. Capt J obiously doesn't know how those stabs...
In my understanding, d_meister didn't ask ME anything, he just suggested the OP to do that. Anyway, if you are now sort of asking on the OP...
Thanks for the flowers, but I'm not sure about the very first bit of your sentence. In several decades, I came across some boats which I liked,...
I guess they could have released the bridle from the other boat, waiting a good moment while it was slack. Or cut it, in the worst case. But...
That's pretty much theoretical, though. In practice, in a boat listing due to unbalanced load or strong beam wind, the fins never stay just at a...
Then you've obviously never seen a boat with Naiad fins driven by their so-called Hydro-Mechanical Gyroscope (aka HMG) controller. As I said, that...
Nope, actually that system should indeed straighten not only a rolling, but also a heeling boat, regardless of the reason - be it beam wind,...
I see. Well, all the very best to them, regardless of my personal preference for other boats/yards.
Doh! You are right, I missed that bit of KC post, in my previous reply. I guess I must have mentally removed that while reading, because...
Do you mean NOW? I would have thought that Baia as such doesn't exist anymore, since several years. R U possibly talking of someone else who...
Not even that, actually, 'cause that old "Center-Off-On" stuff had no interfaces at all. The system is totally unaware of the boat speed, gear...
Interesting to hear that, because it fully matches my findings while I was looking for a used boat in that size/type bracket. 180 l/h at 24 knots...
Aha, I see. You know, interestingly that's another thing I never liked of Baia: they always seemed willing to fit any kind of engine their clients...
Unless it's the 660hp that is wrong, you must mean 3196 rather than 3116, surely? If so, you are making me curious: why should that boat be very...
It does matter, but at least in this respect you have no reason to worry. That's a pretty good size for a 76 footer, particularly since they...
