    Tonipu, are you confident that you are using the appropriate scale ratios for your models? Displacement is a function of the cube of the scale

    A one to twenty five scale would imply that the weight of the full sized boat is to be diminished by a factor of 25 x 25 x 25 = 15,625. Then your model, if to scale, must weigh only about one pound for about seven tons of full sized boat. My experience with models is that larger scale is always more representative of what might happen with the full sized boat. Only asking about the scale factors. Carry on.
