Know I'm dying to know how fast I can move my boat with just 25hp. Bluebell, your houseboat is a reasonable approximation. How fast, at a guess?
No. But his sor included load carrying capacity, and resistance to chop. I'd put on a pair of 50's and get on the plane. His fuel consumption...
Well, it'll certainly move around, but at that power to weight ratio, it won't plane. On the other hand, for a sled hull of those dimensions, that...
Well, take a look at mine over in Sea Sled Madness. It's a 26 by 10 houseboat, with an 8' deck forward. But I mean to have a little more power....
With regards to porpoising. Extensive conversations with several builders and operators relate that the sea sled can not be operated bow high....
I saw it years ago, also by accident, and lost track of it. Thanks for bringing it into the thread Mr. Efficiency! Some great stuff there....
Can't argue with your experience Chuck. I'm 6'4" and 225. For me its trying to jam the paws I got instead of hands into small spaces. I'm on my...
We are good. Questions about my boat are always welcome. I've sure incorporated a lot of information from the members during the build.
Oh My God !!! Look at figure 6 in the PDF. Hickman invented double differential steering in 1911, and didn't think anything of it. That was...
That is some painful porpoising. I wonder if snyone told him to trim his outboard in.
Yes, I put that link in the Propulsion/Surface Dive forum a year ago, and then forgot. Thanks Bluebell. It is definitely relevant.
Yes, it looks a bit out of proportion. There's nothing on the boat about appearance. Everything is about function.
Unfortunately I don't know that anyone did proper quantitative analysis, Ken. The pros and cons would be slight, with such a small V. That would...
Www.trianomarine.com under restorations. This fellow did Miss Lakeside some years back. Lovely boat.
Ken, all that I have been able to find, in years of determined searching, tells me there is no danger of pounding with a flat transom. Obviously,...
[ATTACH] Baekmo, I'm afraid I can't confirm that number. I think I must have done as you thought- conflated the numbers for Miss Demure with Miss...
I might be misremembering. Confusing the 2. I'll scrounge around. See if I can varify.
It's a 20" transom.
Yes, I was on the jazz. It went extremely well. I had the A-Team, that's for sure. Need to move a boat? Build a dolly.
Hahaha! Blue ribbon! Ow, my blue ribs....
