Quick question OT-what happened to Apex1? He was very active on here and suddenly just seems to have disappeared and his account closed. Was he...
Why-do you think it would have problems clearing water from the deck if a wave broke on it??? It may not be intended for open sea but not for that...
how true this is. And the reality that I have observed during 10 years of longlining, is that the fuel used in actually steaming to port (as...
yep-so it would appear. I was trying to help but it appears I have offended you in some way-my apologies.
I smell a troll. No wonder the world is running out of exclamation marks-tunnels used them all up in one post.
No, when it started. I went back to see what might have happened in Sept that caused you to abandon the project but I noticed that you were...
LOL-thats probably valve bounce not a rev limiter, unless its more sophisticated than any other B&S Ive seen! Top motors though.
Id have to agree with PAR here-it would seem a little comical to say "it could be exactly" what your looking for except for the hull and...

triple ditto, can I ask what happened, I know you may not want to say but sometimes it helps to talk. As a father of 6, I have lost one also. I...
sorry but Ive got to say that this seems a pretty old fashioned viewpoint. Aircraft design was once the same-when they were covered with fabric...
thanks Steve, Ive registered on there to ask if it will attack Ally, as it doesnt seem to say specifically. As you say, spray onto bottom...
well done mate-looks good! Your fabrication skills look to be spot on! something odd I noticed though-the foredeck has that coaming around it...
Thanks steve, yes that is what Im looking for, an approved closed cell foam, used as it is commonly on steel vessels, sprayed onto the plating....
thanks for that Steve. regarding corrosion Id have thought that so long as the foam compound wasnt attacking the alloy, itd be no different to...
thanks for that Knotty, the Armaflex probably isnt enough on a highspeed vessel for sound deadening, plus it doesnt have bouyancy. Mainly after a...
