WOW. That is A LOT of bottom damage and I would deem the hull a total loss. Judging by the propellor missing 3 blades, I'd say they were doing...
One would think they could've put the fire out in the time it took to unhook the lines/shorepower, hook up to it, and tow it out. In that pic no...
technically yes, if you're making more power, everything else being equal, your load factor across the rpm range (while in boost) should drop....
Yes, increasing boost will increase acceleration from around 1400 rpms to WOT, should also make more HP. Now, you'll make more HP with more boost...
The PODs all use the coaxial propellors, but I think they're more for maneuverability in docking situations with the joystick and the coaxial...
You should see the interior. I've been in and out of Kafue's boat and it's very nice in all areas and a very well done re-do.
I agree. Also a very interesting place for it to catch fire. 1/4 mile outside of a crowded marina and close to shore.....swimming distance actually.
It depends. I think that fiberglass would have equally destructive results in that situation. I think the cold molded hull would actually give...
That's the other issue with electronic charts. There are no waypoints and magenta track lines (approved course lines) showing which is the real...
I have mentioned earlier, I use paper charts exclusively to plan my route. You get both detail and a large picture at the same time....
I posted that link because it had more and better pictures of the situation.
News is on other sites that it hit a rock off of Fajardo, P.R on it's way into Fajardo and have better pictures....
I ALWAYS plot my course on paper charts ahead of time and then put the waypoints into my GPS. I find paper charts cover a large area AND have...
It should be full scale and even bigger than last year.
Smarter, he can now get to where he's going in mere hours instead of days, and not get a free saltwater shower in the process!
I think the extra time helps for the EGT to get hot enough and really bake anything out of the airboxes and stuff. But, I like that for at least...
I don't think so. Last time I was through there was several months ago and there was nothing there. There was the broken off I beam that stuck...
1000 rpms I mean. WHat I do is after doing 1000 rpms for 6 hours, is bring them up to 1350 and let them bake off the soot for about 5 minutes or...
Guess they were trying to take the short cut to Trinidad! Because typically it's mostly all really deep water around there. Looks like a really...
That's fine. I was recommended by the D.D. here in Fort Lauderdale to run 12v71 TI's at 2050 rpms for 30 minutes, after running 1000 hours every...
