Unusual spray pattern off the transom/swimplatform, would not help those in the cockpit underway.
So the 37m foiled powerboat is highlighted on yachtforums news feed. Now that's something to talk about, 50 - 60 knots, make those 30 - 40 knot...
Would be nice to see some of that 'trickle-down technology' make its way to the powerboat market, seems like most of the innovation in todays...
I could envision the under 20' crowd getting it first. Lifting the entire hull out of the water with lower installed hp, some king of jet drive...
The great part about this forum - members with hands on experience of all crafts! In the '90s, Westport teamed with Boeing to do a fan-assisted...
The re-birth of your MY is in full swing. Imagine the stories that DD could tell! Great job, good luck on your repower with Cummins :)
When will they arrive for powerboats? Some (very few) large yachts have tried stern foils, Navies have used them over time but have abandoned them...
I was gonna ask, where do you buy a "yacht" snow shovel! That stuff on the St. Lawrence can get pretty wet and overwhelming for a brush/broom.
Very nice, have a safe journey, amazing how you make that 42m Canadian Coast Guard vessel look small!
Chord length is your tabs best friend, much more effective at 15 - 18" . The 9" Bennett came from the small production boat needs. Just make sure...
If you looked at the yachtworld link, you will see that the 80' Hatt has 12V-71TA's, 870bhp, and without knowing the specific boat that is a safe...
You just don't get it the lugging concept and probably never will. The graph without figures should school you on the concept first, the numbers...
It finally took you this long to say something relevant even though you are just repeating what Ralph stated earlier. Yes, it will be difficult to...
Ralph, you make a very good point of the difficulty of steering a twin screw vessel on a single screw, certainly nothing you would want to be...
You have not grasped the concept that the engine does not reach the lug down point until the prop demand exceeds the engines ability to provide...
Your logic is so far off the mark I won't address it anymore, you have no technical background to understand why you are so wrong. Back to the...
Geez, where to respond? There is no pre-defined load assigned to "certain" rpms, especially for a mechanically injected engines. Your...
Your biggest issue in running on a single engine is what to do with the trailing prop. You can not just leave it in neutral with the engine off as...
For all powerboats , money spent on the propulsion system is money well spent. Think of it this way , that extra money is working for you every...
Agreed, the new norm would be three screens if you have the space or two screens with a separate space for engine provided displays.
