Hello, I would like to figure the amount a boat will heel (in degrees) when a given load is placed on the gunwhale. This is for a small boat, of...
Easy, Thanks for the info on the Evinrude. Sounds like a good engine. Sounds like rowing is good exercise. Defininitely nice to have a good row...
There is little doubt that designing boat hulls is a highly technical field. It's obvious from the curriculum a Naval Architect has to go through....
From this thread, I think I should be designing a row boat or a 10 foot powerboat? Not sure that is really possible yet. The wide transom I have...
Yes, I saw the seat design in your link. I don't care too much for essentially sitting on the floor of the boat. I like to be seated up just a bit...
Looks kind of like a breadbox. Lots of windage for sure. Maybe a boat where senior citizens purchase a condo, and grow a garden. Lots of room for...
Have you contacted Adobe? This sounds like a huge library; you may not be able to combine the library into one file, but there are programs that...
I can't see my trailer! Another option is to attach extension mirrors to your car or truck. I used to add 18 inch extenders to my tractor so I...
Hello All, As I'm sure most everyone knows, 100 pounds is about as far as you would normally want to go for car topping a boat. That's for a...
Extension Mirrors to see your trailer. When pulling an oversized load on a flatbed truck we clamp about 2 foot extension mirrors on each mirror...
The moveable seat is a good suggestion, and also the extended tiller. The extended tiller will also help keep the operator from making turns in...
Thanks again for the comments. In the boats current design, the transom just touches the water when used as a row boat. If used with a motor...
As this is my first design, I have not come across the problem of "Transom Drag". Are you referring to allowing the transom to dip into the water...
I agree, and was not looking at the problem that way. I originally set out to make it strictly a row boat, but since have decided to put a 2.5 hp...
Correction on my last post. Adding more rocker to the chines actually gives the boat more displacement, but the boat would not move through the...
Thanks for the comments, unfortunately, putting more rocker in the chines is causing the displacement to drop; 300 pounds displacement is really...
Hello, thanks for the reply. I am green at boat design as I can be, so should choose my words carefully when talking about the boat design...
Adding more rocker to the chines Thanks for the reply. The main reason I went with the v-bottom was to reduce the amount of water slapping the...
Hello All, I need to determine the motor size for a 10 foot fishing boat that will be used in small freshwater lakes. The following information...
Hello All, I used FreeShip! to design a small car top-able row boat. The estimated weight of the boat is 102 pounds. It may be outfitted with a...
