Held together with lots of BS! Couldn't resist...
Two places you might check out are Chesapeake Marine Design: http://www.cmdboats.com/smlboat.htm?cart_id=4a17a7064123e3193c75b0ebf9f8c952 and...
Looking like a boat! Have you considered softening that chine? Also have you considered "junk" rigs? It would simplify the masts a great deal...
Actually I've been examining the CMD "Trailer Cruiser 32", which in many respects is comparable to Gerr's NW Cruiser but with some different...
"crap" of course is a technical term for black sooty chunks that end up all over the decks.
My understanding is that the bane of diesels is the short trips where the engine doesn't get up to full operating temperature. An experienced...
I can attest to this other handling characteristic of my outboard hanging off the stern of my sailboat. It gave me some concern for the...
Nice aluminum! I recall seeing a box keel design years ago, not knowing what it was called, and thinking it would be nice for beaching in some...
Thanks folks, yes I have been evaluating the various levels of trailerability to figure out where things break even cost wise and how much of this...
I installed my gasoline outboard as a replacement to my Atomic 4 gasoline inboard because I was unwilling to spend another dollar on that inboard....
My mid-90's 4-stroke Yamaha 9.9 carbureted outboard came in at about .85 gph open throttle, which moved my 33 foot sailboat about 6 kts. I wasn't...

Thanks Tom, I did a preliminary search on it and it would meet quite a few of those criteria. I'll look into it further, like I mentioned before...
What do you figure is a realistic light weight for trailering this boat? I still lack a lot of detailed info on Gerr's design, I have his Nature...
Yep, I noticed it, that's why I'm here - to research and discuss boat designs. I'm just trying to shed a little light on where I think this guy...
It might help the readers of this thread to consider that Noah's peers also ridiculed and mocked his efforts. While I doubt Mr. Goodwilltoall...
Yes I've been looking over some of the Atkins designs, particularly the Naiad. Gerr's design looks suitable but is on the upper end of the...
I've not been on a boat that travels at planing speed quietly, so that might involve some tradeoff in that area. But really though, speed is not...
Not yet, I don't even know what's realistic at this point. What would it cost to build one of Dave's designs, anyways? Would it be possible to...
I recently sold my 33' sailboat, with intentions of going boatless for a few years. No sooner is it gone that I am already cruising forums and...
