Hemidodge, To stay within my budget I figure I'll need to go used. I've been watching yachtworld steadily. Craigslist seems to be popular with...
Hemidodge, One thing I like about this Northern Bay is the helm door. One thing I don't like is the sliding door to the cockpit. I like more...
Hemidodge, Thanks for the link. I've heard of Northern Bay and most of the other downeasts and some of the Novi boats. I'm hoping to keep the...
Hemidodge, The transport to the west coast is in the 10K range. I'm looking for a lobster yacht or any other semi displacement in the 30's...
Sorry for the confusion. I meant to say I'd already own her not that I already own her. I'm still shopping. If you know of any deals out there let...
How much is to much Hemidodge, I agree to a point but since I've looked at this boat there is another BHM 31 that recently came on the market in...
Yea it's old, it has 3880 hours on it. I'd plan to get a thorough check out before pulling the trigger. The hull is actually a 88 also. The...
Hemidodge, Here is the spec sheet.

John, The 9 knots was cruise 12.4 knots it what the owner says they got yesterday at 2850 RPM. Any improvement would be welcome and the knowledge...
John, You see where I got the 17mph. Where does the 22 mph come from? You have to have a theoretical speed before you can enter the rest of the...
John, So that is 1.5 knots better than the 45% slip 24x24 prop or a 12% improvement. Is it possible is will be even more?
John, Thank you for educating me on the issue of prop slip and all the calculations that go into it. I'm a little confused because when we entered...
hemidodge, My information is the wheel is a true 24x24. The spec sheet on the engine says 2900RPM. Did the owner of the other boat say what wheel...
John, Going to the go-fast.com section on speed calcs I plugged in the actual speed and came up with a constant of 122. What does this mean? The...
John, I ran the calcs on go-fast.com and came up with the same 45% slip. Can I be assured a different prop will be less slip or is the slip being...
