Just this year so far, I did a delivery ft. laud to St. Aug 280NM, Ft. Laud to Corpus Christi. TX 1300nm, Ft. Laud-Key West-Naples 300NM,...
This is where the problem lies in almost all yachts 100'< with a cockpit extension. The weight that is added to float the vessel with a neutral...
You're splitting hairs again Marmot. Is a boat measured from the bow or from the transom???? The transom is always 0, so yes it does indeed move...
You're going to be looking at around 65' to find the right mix, but that is going to be a real eye opener when it comes to operation and costs....
Self contained are a heck of a lot easier to install, however you have some differences. You're going to have to get your water supply and drain...
I see no problems in making a 730 NM crossing with the proper weather and preparation and so forth and so on in a 130' yacht/express. I wouldn't...
EPA should be no issue. You will have to fill out the proper US customs importation forms and possibly pay a importation tax/ The marine...
Of course the LCG it is aft of where it was on the ORIGIONAL HULL. But, you guys are responding to my post, which I origionally explained that...
Find a new mechanic. Your answers make no sense and the mechanic is taking you for a wild ride. If you cannot even screw a compression tester in...
This is true to both you and Marmot BUT. If the center of gravity is measured from the transom, and the transom becomes 10' longer, then the...
It must smell LOVELY for about 100' around your boat when someone flushes one of the vaccuflush toilets.
What he means is it's irrelivant because Station O has no effect on what it used to be. The point of relevance is no longer the same point of...
Marmot has taken this thread way off base from the thead and my post was in line with lengthened yachts and what you experience with lengthened...
Call Sevenstar or DYT. There normal route is that area....Ensanada MX to Ft. Lauderdale. I don't know of any freighter that ships to the Mid...
When you add a cockpit stern extension to an existing hull, the center of gravity does move aft. But since the cockpit is lighter per linear foot...
Of course, but since you added length also, the COG would be further foward from the transom (measured in distance or percentage to the new...
If you added a 10' extension to the stern, left the fat guy in the same place, the boat would then be level and even slightly bow heavy
Compass is most likely. I ran a 54' Hatteras and sometimes it would track perfectly, and sometimes it would just make a weird turn at...
Rudder feedback is easy to tell from the helm. Turn the autopilot on in standby where you can see the rudder indicator on the autopilot unit and...
The CG may very well be further aft of the bow of the ORIGIONAL HULL. BUT, you now have a new hull that is longer, so now the CG in percentage of...
