SSY has only 1,6 mm in the hull, although not the same stainless alloy, so 3 mm may well be sufficient. What does empirical evidence suggest?:...
Personally I don't care much for the testing being done by various entities like USCG. A moderate amount of hours over a short period of time says...
Well, I suppose what constitutes as thirsty is very much related to point of view. The difference between the AQ170 and the AQ151 is however...
The 270 is an old drive but a good one. Many of the Volvo engines of the era can be made to fit, I suggest looking for any of the B23 or B230...
There's a lot of good info on marinised BMW diesels in particular on the Swedish forum boatlife.se. As you might suspect it's in Swedish but I'm...
I considered dual Oxe as replacement for my single inboard diesel. But upon contact with Oxe I got, after some pushing because they were reluctant...

I can't comment on the design of the boat but as jehardiman points out it's a right hand prop so prop walk will move the stern to port while in...
Thank you for all the time invested in replies. I've decided to pass on the pipes. Or rather, I'm passing on building a barge with the pipes a...
I'm trying to wrap my head around the stability issue. I can put XPS between the pipes and the deck to add buoyancy. How much (ie how thick)...
Now I have some info on the pipes, they have an OD of 1118 mm and a 12,5 mm thickness. There are three 12-meter pipes available so 36 meters in...
No need to be sorry, I appreciate you input as it's most welcome. I have only empirical experience from barges so opinions from a theoretical...
I said 14 mm in the starting post and that's what I based the numbers on. "The pipes have a diameter of 1100 mm and are 12 meters in length and...
Thanks for all the replies. I'm not going to build this no matter what, at this point I'm just running the numbers to see if it's feasible not....
Maybe for like this? [ATTACH] If I make the transverse beams (red in pic) with from 10 mm sheet metal that is circa 220 kg per beam. Let's space...
