Hey Longliner-- I think these guys are missunderstanding what you are saying. I take it that you are saying that if you where out fishing for 8...
Here is a launch, I even have the plans for it. Then there is the ketwomoke, utility, both rough water boats, no prop tunnells....
If you are disscounting the atkin designs due to the prop tunnels, those are only on the sea bright skiffs, he has tons of other plans. Look at...
At 6 knots it will take 3 hours before you are over the horizon, that makes for being able to wave good-bye for a loooong timeeee.... I think...
Allowell- your thread took a turn and got even more interesting. You started off with a power cat at 3 times the speed. Appearantly you have...
Jack frost says--A 320Hp cat This is the 3208 I should immagine will use 16 gallons per hour at max. 16Kts at 16gallper hour =1 gall per nautical...
It is simple leo, as we have disscussed before on the wooden boat forum, the merits of a semi- hull versus those of the planning hull. You took...
Your post is very missleading leo. You fail to mention that your example boat above is 35 ft. long with a 12 ft. beam and dissplaces 7 tons....
Good post fred, and the needs and wants of the marketplace is a constant changing situation due to various reasons. On the pervious page the...
First of, what is graal?? Interesting threads, will read. fcfc says.--And when you put a inboard in commuter 36, the layout become awkward....

FcFc- Neat, I see where you are coming from, the old time launch. I looked at the andreyale, nice looking and proportioned boat. I take it you...
Sadly but unfortunately, this thread has done very little to define what is a semi- hull, and what advantages or dissadvantages they have over a...
Here is a excellent little 14 foot rough water , water ballasted boat, designed by a pro. http://www.selway-fisher.com/Mcup16.htm#SHETLAND
Gilbert, I took it for granted from your line drawings that the hull shape was a full dissplacement and according to length might squaek into the...
The hull form that gilbert shows is a full dissplacement hull, and a 35 footer or so would scoot along at a little over 10 m.p.h. or so, depending...
Gilbert, hull lines kinda like this..... [IMG]
Leo, the atkin website is filled with semi- hulls that where designed in the 40's-50's & 60's, before planning hulls became popular. And in the...
Alowell, if you are dead set on a power cat, here is a set of plans to look at, can be built from plywood. The previous page does have a write up...
I think you did a real good job on drawing the little man. As for the boat, it looks as if you will be on it and not in it, not good for rough...
