Just looked at a new 41' boat with triple (3) outboard 350 hp engines. Transom total thickness is 3" including glass and coring. I think I will...
This is what I am going to do: [IMG] I have been to the West Systems training class and plan on using their epoxy and following their...
just spoke to a naval architect, he told me I would be fine with a single 2" thick of bluewater 26 coosa with 1/2" of glass on both sides, with...
Thanks. I have a plan for clamping down the coosa board that should work. Is there a way to calculate the thickness of the coosa required or is...
On my inboard to outboard conversion, I need help determining the thickness and layup schedule for the transom modifications to be able to handle...
TANSL, sorry, but I don't understand that diagram or what you implying - I guess I am still too new to this .....
twin 300 hp outboards. If I have to go all the way forward, would have to cut the cabin out of the boat - something I am trying to avoid. I...
but how is it for outboards since that is what I am converting too? that is what I am trying determine. If not good for the outboards, is...
Just saw there is a "Transom Engineering" course at IBEX this year, so I guess I will try to get in that while there and see what I can learn -...
Unfortunately Blackfin is long out of business (current builder under same name is a completely different company and boat). I hadn't thought...
I am not sure I understand this statement in respect to my 24' Topaz. The boat does have saddle tanks, just in the back of the boat. locating...
I didn't want to hijack the other thread. I did see the reference to Gerr's book and downloaded and read his IBEX presentation from 2010. I...
I like the idea, but isn't that somewhat of a perfect world scenario. This boats original layout has a 205 gallon fuel tank in the stern of the...
thanks for all the input. I am planning on completely redoing the transom and adding a "knee" from the transom to the stringers to be able to...
Very nice, always loved those 26' Bertrams and almost bought one a few years back to do the same exact thing, but decided in the end I wanted...
The boat had trim tabs, but I never got to run the boat so I don't know how much they were needed. I got it in "non running" condition. I do...
TANSL, I am still taking measurements and trying to get the boat drawn in autocad (I only know 2d), so it may take me a several more days or so to...
TANSL, Hull is a planning hull with 24 degrees deadrise. Here is a line drawing of the transom - 9'9" overall beam, 8'1" beam at the...
I have a 32.5' Cary Blackfin that I am converting from inboards to outboards, which obviously changes the center gravity. The boat currently has...
I am looking for a small piece of teak and holly plywood, approx 2' x 2'. Thickness not important. I was hoping not to have to purchase a full...
