If anyone is watching this show on here I'm hoping they can settle something. There's a lot of contention over whether or not one guy could pilot...
It was dubbed the "Cowmaran" because it was built in someone's cow barn.
I appreciate your comments, but I'm looking for a boat that can achieve hull speed with a 3HP electric motor swinging a slow moving 9-10" prop.
This boat would only be used on small mountain lakes. Where I am located, there are many small lakes that only allow electric motors. As a...
They mention fuel economy and low wake a lot, which it does seem to achieve, but my goals are more inline with your next sentence: Bingo. I'm...
Anyone ever see this? I searched for any reference on the forums and couldn't find one. Essentially it was an experiment to create a very fine...
Maybe so, but I would be interested in the real world performance of the Griffin boats that initially turned me on to the idea.
They can run at whatever RPM you need-the question is, at what voltage and for how long? There are electric motors that will produce the power...
Novelty, something different, etc... I know that a lot of this forum is devoted to professionals and real-world projects, but there are a fair...
I've been searching around for information on sternwheelers and found mostly threads on riverboat type projects much larger than what I'm looking...
Like I said I kind of figured...but anyway, take a look at this: http://www.monsterscooterparts.com/49enwimapust.html Weedeater engines seem...
Actually its the other way around. I'm thinking of mounting the Gamefisher prop on the weedeater for use as a longtail type motor. I've also...
Looks like Erich hasn't posted in about a year, but from I've seen, his conversion is the best out there, and the videos are the most informative...
I'd love to know this myself. I was just going on guesses formed from comments on other catamaran designs and Richard Woods' approach to...
After taking into consideration the advice given on my previous threads regarding building an alternative to a pontoon boat I came up with this:...
Getting back to this after a busy few weeks at work and looking forward to continuing the discussion for those who are so inclined. Not...
Great ideas-thanks! I did a Craigslist search and there certainly a lot of tired old sailing cats out there-definitely worth a look. The Cougar...
Understanding is what I'm looking for-I've already ordered them. Like I said, if I can't build something better, I'll just look for a tired...
I was assuming that two (for lack of a better term) "boat shaped" hulls would be better than two aluminum cylinders-if I'm wrong about that, then...
I get what you're saying, but you're oversimplifying. 10HP is not a lot of power, but it's the most I have to work with so I have to try not to...
