Glad you made it though OK pard, I missed the chance to pray for a good surgery so I'll pray for a speedy recovery.

Is there some kind of formula to calculate the hp needed for a certain dead-rise ? The two most common formulas for calculating HP are the Crouch formula and the Keith formula. It's not as cut and dry as saying that "x degrees= y HP" but here's a decent link or two to read up on. http://continuousw...

No pissing contest, but whatever man. I was just trying to be helpful and keep the OP from getting bad advice because plain and simple, a v hull does not make a boat a displacement hull.

I'm out, have a nice day.

Where do you see true grit listed as a displacement hull? The page on it shows a speed of 18-20mph which is well above displacement speed for it's waterline. I don't need to read the inboard motor installation book and I'm certainly not trying to be a jerk, but I've studying hull design a lot and ha...

...I am not looking for speed but a comfortable ride with minimum power if possible. Then just slow down a bit :wink: Keep in mind that the more deadrise you have, the more power it takes to move at the same speed. Deep V hulls are great for going fast in a chop, but there is no free lunch, you hav...

A bit late perhaps, but I'll chime in anyway for future reference. One thing that will make a HUGE impact on staple holes is to take a rag and some steaming hot water and wipe down the cedar. The steamy hot water will swell the wood a bit and cause the holes to swell shut pretty good. You can still ...

It would be a bit underpowered, but probably still able to plane if kept light with minimal load. BTW, I see you're in Rincon. I spent a lot of time down there back when I lived in GA. I've caught many fish from Ebaneezer creek and out of the little oxbow lake just upstream of where Ebaneezer creek ...

Ooooooo, looking gooder every update!

Also, just wanted to give a big thanks to the Oops pirate for handling the photos for this. I like this boat and may build it one day so it's nice to see one come together

Congrats on getting the wood, love the Zebra idea!

Good job on the tank and gantry crane (sorta)

Looks like a good way to test outboards.

No worries Gavo, I play with RC's a bit. I have a 26" twin screw electric, but it's not fast. I also have a highly modded stadium truck with a 26,000rpm nitro and 2 speed transmission that will flat out boogie on the pavement or dirt! That's where I came to play on the RC Universe forum, there's som...

There is one plan on here for RC

For R/C stuff though I've become pretty fond of the forum over at RC Universe

Here's the bill of materials for the boat he built just for those curious... http://i41.servimg.com/u/f41/11/81/01/07/seneca10.jpg oh yeah, maddog355, DO NOT let this dissuade you from building a boat. Boat building is a wonderful thing and a great hobby that you will enjoy for life. DO go and talk ...

Keep your reciepts on everything and you might get away OK. I wrote the gov on this matter who in turn sent me an e-mail saying he had given my e-mail to someone else. A few months later I got a letter in the mail from the head of the department of revenue. His explanation was that it was all sales ...

Sounds like Father Dave has the same sense of humor as my Pastor
