The issue was the same, with engine higher or lower, no difference in bow down moment was observed. Also, see my comments about ventilating when...
Like I said, bow down only becomes a real issue at higher speeds, doing 20-21 isn't an issue and wouldn't show in any picture anyway, and most of...
While that maybe so, this behaviour has manifested itself from the beginning, and I bought the boat new (2021) Also, in all pictures at soeed, the...
Trim with empty boat is a tiny bit by the stern. Speaking of boat speed, you're right, it should by all accounts do 30kn with 60ho, easy,...
Sorry, I cannot post pictures, as I'm abroad, for 2 more months. (at sea) Don't have any on hand either. The boat in question is a poseidon fish...

Small: 5m open boat weighing 350kg including a 60hp engine.
Well, that's why I mentioned placing a person (90 lg) with me in the stern. A person seated on the aft bench is pretty much as far aft as one can...
I would be. But the boat in question is pretty beamy and flat bottomed at the stern. A lot of weight would be required. 2 full fuel tanks all...
I have a small outboard powered open boat. It does drives OK, until I hit about 21 knots. From cruise speed up, it keeps pushing the bow down more...
So yeah, let's stick to 3mm for now. It's nice to know that lower is an option, but welding skill is the limitation here. Riveting, no experience...
I am well aware of that. That's part of the fun in building a boat. What works, what's practical and what can I actually make with the limitations...
Oh, I've toyed with the idea to build a fiberglass boat, many many times But here in Asia sourcing quality materials isn't easy and it's not the...
