alot nicer than my little RIB wish we could afford such a nice boat ;D
my boat attached
-
My pops is looking to get one of them to race around in then haul it up (we have hooks for those on our stern) BUt thank you very much, I'm extremly excited for this summer :2thumbs:
-
how much did she cost?
-
nice boat matt :)
-
how much did she cost?
Not that bad actually only about 55grand :)
-
Awsome boat dude :2thumbs: i should get some pics of my boat well mine and my grampas we got about a year ago its pretty fast to. also i should get some pics of my uncle scotts racing boat. my uncle is dead now :( i never saw him much beacause i was like 2 whene he died
-
Very nice indeed Matt! ;D
What's her cruising speed? Trying to upload some of our little Hardy, Forty Winks....She's a cracker of a boat :)
I have a vid here somewhere of us coming out of the estuary on RNLI Day ;D
-
Very nice boat but not layed out right for me. The living quarters are large whereby the toilet is tiny! Nice boat though :)
-
haha I was surprised the toilet looks small in the picture...but its pretty much average size :thumbs: :doh:
And Jack her crusing speed is around 20 knots however I highly doubt we'll do 20 knots due to the amount of fuel we'll be burning but her top speed I believe is around 25-28 knots not too sure :P
-
We too have their own boat :D. I can put pictures of when it is in the water, or May Day ;). But it goes 20knots and a top speed of 24knots :doh:.
-
Mayday? Yikes thats not good :evil:
-
May Day is NOT Mayday. ??? May Day is the first day of May and the start of Summer. It is also a Communist holiday, or should I now say a Russian holiday?

Ahh did not know that, I guess we learn something new everyday ;) Thanks for that traddles :)
-
Very nice boat, Matt! :thumbs:
I've done work with that motor yachts before, (I am not at liberty to say where) but I love yours!
-
One thing I did notice, which I was curious about, and seen it before on a lot of American boats...The gearbox - how does that work?
We used to have a heavy duty one on Mary, with the gear 'stick' on the left and the throttle to the right (Sat back to back on eachother)...Forty Winks has the 'all in one' approach. Its a lot easier, but takes a bit of getting used to...especially with the power in the outboard. I literally sort of, tap it, rather than push...otherwise she picks her heels up too quickly :lol: - and Fleetwood are very funny when it comes to boats coming in at speed...It's funny though, since it's alright for the yachts (as in, sailing boats) to come in as fast as they want, but a power boat? no no no... :angel: - but they don't mind me so much, I'm sensible enough I think :lol: And dad is generally always near by anyway...so all is good.
-
I just have to say!
Adorable boat ;)
This is my boat FTW :P
wooden boat
8-12 knots.
A beatiful Saab Engine from 1956
We are currently taking off the painting (Not painting. I dont know what it's on english :S you have it on old boats)
Anyway. Here's a old video when i start the Saab engine :2thumbs:
And yes. I used 2 secs to start it. But i had run it a little bit and then turned it off.
Usaly i use 40secs - 2mins to start her.

-
WOW! 2 Cylinder :o Ours has 8....I'll tell pops to buy a gas station cause we're gonna need one :evil:

the one in our old wood boat only has a single cylinder, and 10hp, but I must say those engines wont stop running, very reliable.

Ours was a two cylinder :)

It is a 2 cylinder's engine ;)
And a good thing with our saab engine. Is that it runs only it smells diesel smell, It almost runs on free of charge ;P
Im sure your boat Matt uses a lot of fuel ;D
No. It's sAAb, and not sabb :P
-
very nice boat matt! =D

ah so it's not a Norwegian engine then?
-
ah so it's not a Norwegian engine then?
Yeah, I think so. It might be built in Sweden and bought into norway since Saab is a swedish engine factory
-
ah, thought it was a Sabb, I think there is an engine manufacturer in norway that does those engines.
a pic of the Sabb, the top piece(not sure what you call it there, but I mean the thing above the cylinder) is actually only about 2 years old, the old one actually wasn't made for the engine. The new one improved the speed a lot.
