Sorry, terminology confusion Inboard/Outboard drive = outdrive = sterndrive .....depending where you reside :) Did you retain the original...
Isn't that originally an outdrive boat? It's not clear from photos if you retained the outdrive(s)? 9 mph is kind of slow, but of course I see...
Thanks TANSL; you nailed what I need it for. A general freeware drawing program could do it of course; I was just wondering if any of the more...
Can anyone suggest me an easy to use (free or reasonably priced) software which I can use to make various layout proposals. I'm not interested in...
Nope, there's not.... at high speed your cheap, simple and relatively lightweight gasoline outboard is by far the best option. If you had said...
Sorry, I haven't been paying attention much lately. A flywheel storage device is certainly not out of the question, but it depends how it...
If you want propulsive efficiency with a displacement boat then you should maximize waterline length. That means vertical bow and vertical...
No useful hits on Google for the words Greenline, Seaway and subsidy. So let´s put this one to rest unless there's a relevant link coming up
In the last post you stated that there were rumors about subsidies; and now you factually state these subsidies are legal. It's hard for me to...
I think it's a valid and interesting question. I've seen the remark about Greenline 33 being sold primarily because it is cheap and I'm sure that...
My, my.... aren't we a bit negative today? Granted, I didn't write and publish a master thesis on the subject before I posted my ideas........
I'll try some numbers, but it really can't cover all scenarios. I find it useful to discuss on the basis of a 5t boat, since a 5t hybrid boat is...
I think you are being a tad restrictive in your interpretation of my words. I believe sailboaters who for whatever reason switch to a motor boat...
Read my reply to daiquiri from yesterday, it is clearly explained there how the inefficiencies are won back again, due to the inefficiency of a...
No, Lithium batteries' appeal is low weight relative to capacity. That's their only justification. And prices are coming down If you think so...
I ask again..... which added weight? In my reply to gonzo above I explained why there will not be any significant weight increase.........
It was getting long, so I cut the reply into 2 Very true, and I believe that is also an important aspect for many who chooses the hybrid...
I see 2 trends supporting a development towards hybridization of motor boats. New generations of motor boaters have different expectations...
I can see you're determined to find hair in my soup. Which is fine.... any new idea should be able to survive some scrutiny and I don't see my...
It's an issue of production volume. Mechanical boat transmissions in general volume production retail for €3000-5000 as far as I can ascertain...
