The first twelve post on this thread are some of the best that I have seen on this topic yet.
I own a Permacraft 26 and can attest to the fact that they will do the job. That is a high price on that boat. You might get it considerably...
GWTA it has been a while since I took a stab at you and time tends to mellow the mind. You seem determined to go ahead with this project so I...
I was afraid the outcome would not be good. Bad things happen when you get caught with a boat load of bibles in an area where sharia law presides.
Got to agree with the other posters. Clean it up, grease the wheel bearings, check the tires and lights. On the engine. Replace the water...
That's easy, my mother-in-law.
In my area its easy. There are no yachts or ships in the Great Lakes. Everything no matter how large or for what purpose is a boat. Such as a...
I saw one on the Erie canal a couple of years ago that was what you describe. It was 30' X 8'6" and was your basic fairly flat bottom box. It...
I am a we bit skeptical to say the least. 3mm is about 0.12 or so. That is very thin to cast and probably has defects. How are you heat...

Monel beats stainless on boats around salt water in every way except in price and strength.
Oh you will probably get around 14-15 knots or so wide open throttle burning around 22 gallons an hour. At 12 knots you will probably burn...
Relevance? The lifeboat is somewhat of a hijack. Used boats are the way to go for sure IF the "tight budget" is in the mix.
Good is a matter of opinion.
There is a grey area between Steve W and Ted Diver. Saying a range of what every is a little vague without also stating what S/L ratio we want...
Now that we have dropped the budget requirement I will say that every project has a budget. With that said and the reason for build is that...
After nine pages in this thread I think the answers have been very reasonable. The unreasonable is the emotional stigma some seem to attach here....
If you do not know that flopper stoppers are stabilizers we have a problem. You can believe what you want to believe I guess.
More like 5.5 to 6 gph at 8 knots.
Sabacat as usual you are showing a lack of knowledge. You are showing an active fin stabilizer and Ildewild is equiped with flopper stopper...
