Olderboater summed it up pretty well. Hull speed increases with length and hull design.....Sportfish tend to have a faster hull speed than...
You have to look at GPM (gallons per mile) not Gallons Per Hour. You can always run a fast boat at hull speed and get great fuel economy, 1 gpm...
The stern is considered the starting point, if you move the entire vessel foward with a new stern and 10' of length, then the entire vessel must...
Well Mr. Expert, what else would you logically put in a cockpit in order to make it heavier on a boat that never had a cockpit? You only have so...
You have to determine what the stain is. I like whink on rust stains, also found in the same aisle in the grocery stores. For stubborn...
Yes, if you are looking at the boat from the stern.
I am not changing the goal posts, the entire thread started and is under the subject of this one Harkvoort LRC that was extended midships foward...
OK, so if the reference point is the rudder stock or aft bulkhead on this Hakvoort LRC as the reference point. If they did the extension in the...
Just this year so far, I did a delivery ft. laud to St. Aug 280NM, Ft. Laud to Corpus Christi. TX 1300nm, Ft. Laud-Key West-Naples 300NM,...
This is where the problem lies in almost all yachts 100'< with a cockpit extension. The weight that is added to float the vessel with a neutral...
You're splitting hairs again Marmot. Is a boat measured from the bow or from the transom???? The transom is always 0, so yes it does indeed move...
You're going to be looking at around 65' to find the right mix, but that is going to be a real eye opener when it comes to operation and costs....
Self contained are a heck of a lot easier to install, however you have some differences. You're going to have to get your water supply and drain...
I see no problems in making a 730 NM crossing with the proper weather and preparation and so forth and so on in a 130' yacht/express. I wouldn't...
EPA should be no issue. You will have to fill out the proper US customs importation forms and possibly pay a importation tax/ The marine...
Of course the LCG it is aft of where it was on the ORIGIONAL HULL. But, you guys are responding to my post, which I origionally explained that...
Find a new mechanic. Your answers make no sense and the mechanic is taking you for a wild ride. If you cannot even screw a compression tester in...
This is true to both you and Marmot BUT. If the center of gravity is measured from the transom, and the transom becomes 10' longer, then the...
It must smell LOVELY for about 100' around your boat when someone flushes one of the vaccuflush toilets.
What he means is it's irrelivant because Station O has no effect on what it used to be. The point of relevance is no longer the same point of...
