Been scratching my head for a while about this and wanted to get the thoughts of the brain trust here. My Post 42 has 2 bilge pumps - one in the...
Were the ride off/ride on comparisons at the same throttle settings? In other words, was the trim increasing your efficiency by those amounts? Or...
It’s a much bigger problem than you think. Especially in S Texas where people are less aware vs at the cape. Less launches are stopped now because...
Th The latter is a huge problem. I’m in the space business and boats stop launches all the time wondering into exclusion zones because they...
Have you tried a heat gun yet? I’ve never had a lot of luck with chemical strippers, but a heat gun followed by sanding has never failed me. It’s...
I ended up with an AB navigo 12 with a Suzuki 30. 4 blade prop and smart tabs. The main thing that sent me to the AB was the deep v of the...
Mine were all mechanical as well with no floscans or anything. I logged every RPM I ran at and for how long. Then I totaled up estimated fuel...
Very interested to hear how it does on one of those 3-4’ nasty wind chop days on the bay. Price sounds super reasonable relative to the benefit....
This is exactly the opposite of everything I know about the typical Viking vs Bertram approach to hull design. Bertrams typically carried their...
I had it propped to make 2350. Id run it up to WOT briefly a few times a year to make sure everything was ok. Seems like it was about 29-32kts,...

Some of the wood in my cabin needs to be refinished and I’m trying to figure out how to match the existing finish. It’s a very smooth but also...
Do you have a guess of the pitch? I read 8”-9” in another thread but they were talking about a 3-blade. (Assuming a 360 with a 30hp tohatsu)
Possibly. Part of the problem is that they are only 3.5’ apart. So I guess I could put longitudinal rails on there that extend out a bit further....
Well it looks like the chock question is moot. I measured our existing chocks and the front has an angle of roughly 18 degrees and the back is...
Currently have a 10’ novurania 320 tr with a merc/tohat 9.9 4 stroke. Considering upgrading before we do our first abacos trip this summer to...
Realize you’ve probably completed this job already but I had the same tender with the same motor. Loved it. Lots of fun. Fast boat. Used to pull...
