Jeff, I responded in a PM so you can handle any housekeeping issues privately.
The only mis statement made was in regards to the steel content, which I admit I made an incorrect statement. WirePlank is designed for 14%...
Ah builds, I have been involved in 6 over the years, never as a supervisor always a grunt. 2 F/C, 3 FRP and 1 in wood. Did not work on...
Actually I believe I said the strength of steel without the maintenance. I don't think I ever said stronger than aluminum, I think I said it...
Go back and read, as I just did, I said 1% to 3% based on the 1 mystery boat. Do the math it is simple. 1 bad boat 100 hulls 1% 1 bad boat...
I am sorry, but I did not see any sign that said it was a restricted choice.
Tugboat, Did I mislead you in any way regarding the material during our conversation? Did I try to sell you on the material during the...
Richard, I asked why FC was not on the list and offered up FAL as a possible candidate. You escalated from there with your responses. I...
You cannot use 70% of the known started hulls as a negative either. Which is what you keep trying to do. You do not know that only 30%...
Oh yes, and for the sheathing, we do have knowledge of the first 10 years on the African Queen, I believe 10 years on Jubilee and 15 years on the...
For the steel percentage, I used wireplank, I may very well be guilty of an assumption in converting it over. I just need to go double check. If...
So buying a set of plans for that 14' you have is probably out of the question?
For my current stated business needs it is still not cost effective, I am not actively marketing the material to build boats. The economy is...
Yes, this started because I offered it in an open forum that was asking about hull materials. Don't think that really consititutes promoting...
Careful, Daniel will get upset if we bring out the maul story again.
See, Here is a prime example of a misconception. I am not desperate for a market, and I have not been trying to promote the product. You...
Mike, Here's a good example of what happens in that 25% and below range. Note the obvious lack of reinforcement. And I would have to...
Mike, I have to admit that I have an unfair advantage over you and the rest of the folks on this thread. I currently own both an FC and a FAL...
That is the whole part of this that is confusing, one says there is no data there to determine x. Someone else says based on the data it is...
No, I actually want to thank you. I would not have caught the possible connection. Anytime I can work a known boat back to its builder its great.
