project status The builder I am using has missed the completion dates by 7 weeks SO FAR! But I do have some pics to show you of the extension...
Gonzo - yes it will. I am guessing that will make the attitude flatter, yes? Allow same trim (and fuel burn) at the extra half knot? Is that...
I was also surprised, and am now again from the math (this is why I shouldn't do these when tired and numb/dumb!). The extension top surface...
I do not have the manufacturer - no markings except diameter and pitch. No rake, minimal sweep, nibral (thin), no cup, three blades. A nominal...
revision - looks like the volume is only 32 cu ft and 2000#. net bouyancy 900#.
Can someone share a curve for a 24" diameter, 19p 3 blade prop? I had one - cannot find it. Want to plot it with my FL T160 engine driving...
extension from the originator Thanks to all for helping me with this. To answer some questions and expand a little: 1. the boat is a 42'...
extension/swim platform I want to add a new swim platform to my 42' semi-displacement trawler that is bigger and also capable of supporting the...
I will check the fuel burn in the future, but this was probably my best opportunity to get a reading. All the running was in the ICW, so the...
Well - I made it!! 8 days, ~600 statute miles, 80 tach hours, ~75 steaming hours, ~300 gallons of diesel fuel. Only real problem was a dripping...
WOW! Your analysis is very revealing. I did not expect the power for 7kts to be that high. I will try some runs to get better data. And yes,...
BTW - isn't 1 hp per 500# displacement for hull speed a good approximation for properly running/setup trawlers? But apparently with twins you...
Rick - your post came up just as I hit 'send'. This spring I will get into this in more detail and with mo' money! For now I just want to get...
Marchmat - yep, she was awful! We got 10 kts at 2500/2350 rpm and cruise at 8 @ ~1600. One engine WFO would get her to 8 kts, as well. The...
Cemberci - I am sorry - I just now saw you other email. Here is the info: Hull Offset Plans or Lwl ----------waterline length ~38 Bwl...
sorry. no, I do not
let's see - here they are. see some MAJOR barnacles?! I'll do a bottom job this spring.
Rick - will do. I got pics for you of the props - if you tell me your email I'll send to you. JeemboNC
gentlemen - we hauled, scraped, and powerwashed the hull and re-ran the seatrial. It was covered in barnacles, especially the props. Got...
And Frosty - I think your relatively straightforward run in reverse with everything else the same makes lots more sense. JeemboNC
