Herman- unfortunatly, 2 persons is not an option where I'm doing this project. I suppose I could make the patches smaller but had tried to...
Well - if I could indulge a little more help... my layup plan was spread into 3 stages of laying this up on a male mold. 1st day- gelcoat then...
Herman- thank you! Yes I had read all the site info and my laminate analysis software lists Coremat Xm... but not the Xi. And yes- I had...
I'm interested in using this material as a core (4mm) in a hardtop I'm building but have found almost no information on it. I'm most interested...
I'm pretty sure the 6 seconds was after adding the wieght. If memory serves, the increase in period (before/after) was minimal (less than 1...
Steve- thanks for that quote from Gerr! I've read his prop handbook but none of his other works. Thats the first refernce I've seen that...

a freind of mine has one on his Albin 28TE, but its a straight inboard , not I/O. He loves the engine and hasn't had any real problems in 250...
Fast Fred, the best one I've found is on the boatdiesel.com site. It's not perfect as it can't really predict differences in speed at cruise...
Woodboat, My mileage is good too and alot of guys at my marina would kill for a 20 knot cruise at my consumption. But as you said, the "feel"...
Woodboat, you make a very good point about "feel". I'm a gear head too and I fear my "need for speed" might taint my perception. My sense is...
Aggie, just a couple of comments. I like my boat alot but be careful comparing an early vintage Trojan to a Bertram, they are vastly...
Many thanks for your thoughtful help.
Aggieboater, I have Trojan F-32 that I converted to diesel. I looked at many options to reduce cost but found that marinizing a non-marine...
I'm not sure what spread sheet your looking at but the ZF 63 is available in 5 ratios including 2.037:1. As far as running 2 different ratios,...
