Maybe you should go over to the New Zealand jet boat forum and ask them. The bash plate is very common on jet boats in NZ. My boat is an...
Here is the transom of my 19ft Hamilton jet boat even with the deadrise and strakes it's got, the back end was still a little loose underway I put...
Build it as a displacement cat, no need for it to plane, you would need a lot more hp for it to plane. If you look at my model you will see the...
That's ok Sailhand, I'm going to go with my own design as I like a challenge but it would be interesting to know what the issues are with the 230.
I think it must be the reversing sheerline, makes it look a bit odd to me, other than that it's all good.
Here is another interesting design, good performance but not real keen on the look of it. Spirited 230 http://www.spiriteddesigns.com.au/spirited_230
I would change the 2000mm section 2600mm.
My very first idea for a small outboard powered cat was using a pair of tornado hulls.:D Then we needed to add some comfort and usability to...
Ok I get what you're saying, I was going to do a cad design of it but to learn to use the software takes a bit of time, so I am doing the design...
Thanks anyway Shipwright but Mr Efficiency is correct, I am after a slender hull design running twin 25 or 30 hp outboards looking for a 14-16...
Hey shipwright I know you probably meant the aussie built Cougar cats but here is an interesting boat, Cougar cat from the UK, 26ft x 13ft. At...
Asymmetric hulls will be used in the design.
Thanks Zulu40, I'll check it out.
HJS I am not after a sharkcat or powercat that needs big HP to get it to plane, that type of design will be super slow with low HP. Mr...
A sliding beam setup or removable beam would work not sure about a folding beam, outboards will be mounted on the hulls. Beams will most likely...
I've decided to ditch the 2.5 & 2.9 version and go with a 3.6m beam, demountable and fit on a 2.5m wide trailer, similar trailer style to the Elf 26.
Hi Richard, I like your designs and if one suited what I am after I would certainly buy one of your plans, a lot easier than trying to design...
14 cruise with a max around 20 would be fine with me. I'm going to add a foot to the hulls at the rear and make it 25ft, the hulls are flat all...
Not sure but looks less than 500mm, I may lower mine to 450 or 400 but no lower than that as most of the time it will be used in sheltered waters...
At the moment it has a clearance of 500mm and yes the biggest issue now is the boats overall beam, 2.5m maybe just not wide enough, at 2.9 maybe...
