Terrapyn has 15" to 16" of freeboard. It's a nice height as we can step off onto floating docks quite easily, and there's only one step down to...
That looks to be a very stable platform for a houseboat. I don't know if you will have tracking problems or not without more of a skeg/keel, but...
Hmm...that's something to ponder, starting off deep then taking away if necessary. But then one wouldn't know if one added too much, unless the...
Here are the dimensions of the underwater portion of the extension options, assuming that Terrapyn's draft remains at 7" from bow to stern. [IMG]...
Well, I suppose I could make a slightly deeper keel for the hull extension, say 5.5," then try that for a season. It's quite a chore to get the...
Does this look about right? Turns out that the existing center skeg is only 3.5" deep, not the 5.5" I mentioned earlier, and it ends 42" from the...
Yes, I can build a straight angled bottom extension, no problem. You will definitely have less drag at displacement speed, but you will also...
As I understand things, if the bottom curved up to just below the waterline at the stern, I'd have less drag at displacement speeds. But that...
An updated sketch showing the new skeg extension running to mid-ships. 12 inches deep seems a bit much to me, so this is shown at 8 inches. I...
Here's a picture of the bow when it was up on stands. In my earlier post I had forgotten about the two smaller skegs outboard of the center skeg....
Thank you for these replies. Is she stored on a trailer? Changes to the keel might require changes to trailer. I would increase depth of...
Obviously, she’s a calm water boat. The scow hull isn’t suitable for Lake Champlain proper, as her bow slaps like a beaver tail in the smallest...
I remodeled the interior a couple of summers ago to make the galley more efficient, increase the size of the head compartment (we use a C-Head...
She’s 23 feet long, 7 feet 9 inches wide, and displaces about 4,500 lbs. All-in trailering weight is about 5,700 pounds, and due to the front...
I’m hoping to get some help from the forum regarding my 1969 Aquacamper Adventurer. We purchased this boat in 2016 from a family in Illinois, who...
