Not even close. It's a 40 year old aluminum boat. It's gone well past its design life span. If it had a Small Passenger Vessel Inspection...
Yep, sometimes when you want to know something, you have to put in the effort.
"Adequate power" is subjective to the requirements and desires of the owner. Most underpowered boats stay that way because they only get used...
That particular bit of info? Paid attention in High School Physics class for starters. Having had my own salvage business and working for a couple...
Yep, no "paying the Devil" on a cold mold.
Nothing should have suffered.
None of those weights are correct. Apply Archimedes principle. Hint, you need the specific gravity of all the different materials and each...
For every current, there is counter flow running alongside. In that area I doubt he was in the Gulf Stream, typically it's further out. You never...
Remember, a full fuel tank will provide bouyancy at over a pound per gallon... a full fresh water tank at nearly half a pound. My bet is that the...
No worries, just keep an eye on the weather, and it'll even take a reasonable bit of that.
You bet, for first the week or two after it sank, it was probably barely on the bottom. A significant storm moved through the area after the...
It seems to me that as far as in why we do the blasting, wet abrasive would give you the worst of both worlds from a metallurgic standpoint with...
It's really hard to gauge without a materials list, but if I was going for the salvage, I'd take down 4-500lb lift bags to start. If they didn't...
Nice Family Boat:D
Guessing here as I haven't run a Carver 370, but with a pair of 454s, my guess top speed is high 20s possibly into the 30s depending on weight...
You may not need to replace the chargers, just add a desulfinator circuit to maintain the battery plates. Since I've started using them, my...
Actually, I brought it up right after I saw the first pictures. I think it because of the mode of failure, the hull on the port side tore away in...
That is because you are confusing "weight" which is the reaction of gravity on mass with inertia which is the kinetic energy of motion applied to...
Think about the geometry for a moment and which directions the materials maintain their rigidity the best. When I push in on the middle of a flat...
Quite possible had any of that been visible behind all the trim and coverings. Forward stateroom is almost always in disarray when underway. The...
