Hi guys,
I was talking to Terry earlier about my dads boat and his boat, and I thought it would be nice to see if other people have their own real boat, or they are in some way connected to boating/ships.
Some general info like below would be nice:
Name of vessel:
Age/Year Built:
Vessel Type:
Engine Type:
How many knots produced:
and if you can a picture would be nice for us all to see :) if you don't have one don't worry.
Here's my dads boat:
Name of vessel: Mary Elizabeth
Age/Year Built: 1980
Vessel Type: Colvic Watson
Engine Type: Saab inboard diseal
How many knots produced: 8 knots (depending on tide)
-

My dad has a boat, but it has been sitting in our garage for 4 years I believe :P. All I know is that its name is imperial so I am hoping that one of you guys know all the other details. Every time we take it out on the water, it breaks. Once, we had to get towed from the middle of a bay, to the nearest dock :D.
-
1959 glastron
length 16-17feet
1970 something jhonson motor
some where between 20 and 30 knots. ;)
Its just a ski boat.
It looks just like the picture below just its green. ;D found it on google.

Nice engine on that, as far as i can see, yes, your boat is the fastest. :)

I cant really take a picture of it because it is sitting in the garage and there is stuff all over, so you wont really be able to see most of it. Further more, I do not have a picture of it :-\.

MY BOAT IS BACK IN THE WATER!
A little while ago, I posted a shot, saying "my boat is here", and DJM thought I was joking (at that time). I could see why he thought that, and I was teasing a little. The boat was exactly where I said it was (amongst 1,000 others). Since then, it had to be lifted out and some work done to teh hydraulic ram on the drive leg. But now it's back!
Here are some shots I took a few minutes ago.
-
So, you live right on the water, so to speak huh ;D?
-
Nice boat Terry :)
I remember that shot you posted last time, it was almost an aerial shot :P ;D
Carl.
-
So, you live right on the water, so to speak huh ;D?
I live about 400 yards (metres) from the beach, here in Selsey, which at the eastern end of the Solent. My boat is about 5 miles away at Chichester Marina. I popped in to check that they had put her back in the water, as I came back from seing a client today.
Yep, the other shot was off Google Earth, I think.
-
Is the sound of the ocean suthing, or does it just get annoying. I am asking because for you, you have to hear the ocean every single day :P.
-
I've lived here for over 20 years. To be honest, I don't notice it any more, which is kind of a shame.
But most evenings I go for a walk around the village and along the sea wall. I hear it then. I can sit on a seat facing the sea and drift off... I find it very soothing.
-
Ahh, that is the shame for people who do not live near the ocean. We have to go out to wherever and buy these casets of the jungle, or the ocean or theparking lot at work :D.
-
I envy you Terry, I must make do with an "ocean-sounds" CD... ;)
-
Well, I was hoping to go out today in my boat, but the weather forecast was not good. But when I do go out, I am going to take my video camera (which I bought specially for this) and I shoot some scenes from within Chichester Harbour and out on the Solent.
Then I will post a link from the Creator's Forum so that people can see it in real life. All being well, probably during week beginning 30th June. (weather permitting). Tomorrow I will go and fill her up with petrol. You'll hear the sound of my crying.....
-
would it count if i said my uncle owns one?

Our fresh water is freezing due to snow melt. Although I took my dog to the lake and had to go in waist deep. >:( Did I mention I was wearing jeans and tennis shoes. :(
-
In florida, the average temperature is about 80 degrees. You want to complain abou the cold, or the heat ;D?
-
Well, here next to the Solent, the temperature range is not great. We rarely get frosts and we rarely get much above 80F. Since my wife came here from New Jersey, she finds that the only way to tell the time of year is by how long the rain is visible in daylight. ("No seasons" she says).
My sister in law just laughs. She lives in Tampa, FL.
-
The weather has been very bad here in florida, raining every day for the past week :(. It is almost as if we are cursed with rain, to never see sunshine again ;D.
Has your wife ever considered judging the time of year by when the flowers bloom :D? I am sure you guys have some nice flowers.
-
In the first year that my wife was here, she looked out onto our garden on Christmas Day and said "When do the flowers stop?".
"They don't", I replied.
We have flowers all year round here. See shot from February. For the first time in ages, we actually had snow. It lasted about 2 hours then melted. A few hours later it was about 75F.

you shouuld live in england we never get some good sun we get hot sun for more than 4 days and it makes the papers in england

God that must have been a seriously low temperature :o

Up here in Orkney the temperature never goes up above 20C, or below 0C.

To drag this thread kicking and screaming back to the topic....
I don't know if you're interested but I'll tell you anyway. Anything much larger than a big rowing boat needs special equipment to lift it out of the water. At the Marina where I keep my boat, they have a set of large slings that can handle vessels up to about 25 metres.
I'm sure that it won't happen in Ship Simulator 2008 but it would be cool to have a way of taking boats out of the water (a bit like the cranes for Vermaas). "Ship Maintenance Simulator 2010". ;D
Here is a picture of the smaller set of slings used at the marina. In the background you can see the small blue tractor that pulls it around:

Very nice, i'd like to see a slipway that works in ship sim, and cranes that could lift boats in and out of the water, i also think sem-submersibles would be a nice idea. I think that ship sim needs to be more interactive, like being able to open bow doors, being able to use lifeboats etc. all that sort of thing. Maybe we will see this in ship sim 09/10

terry do u no thay also use hidrolic hoysts thay take them right into the water and the hidrolics lift the boat.
thay fold down and the boat sales on the hidroics get to work and the hole thing comes out the water very clever and no need for a tractor

Hi Chris.
Yes, in the Marina, they have a very large set of slings that go into the water (I'll take a photo when I'm there next). That is under a gantry that rolls over the water out on jetties. They bring the boat in over the slings under the water and then pull up the sling. The Gantry then rolls back off the jetty onto the tarmaced area and puts the boat wherever it needs to be stored.
That tractor is just for towing boats sat in the sling round to wherever they're being stored. The Marina is about 1 mile aound the edge and boats are stored all the way around it.
-
Not all boats have to be lifted to get out of the water. They also can be hooked up to a trailer. Does anyone have one of those? I do ;D.
-
only for the rib :) the moody has to come out at largs marina with the hoyst.

Yes usually the ribs are on trailers, which are then launched via slipway, usually bigger boats are lifted in, and stay in until work is needed (like antifowling) then the vessel is lifted out usually via crane.
Jack. :)

ok i found some picks the furst is of Mingaly on the moring at millport. if u have google earth you can finde her location by puting in millport uk. and the other pic is of my rib with my cuz driving :) hope u like

Ooh, ooh. I just walked across the green outside my house past the newsagent. In the window there is a card advertsing two boats for sale (a job lot, take both). One looks like a standard fishermans boat, 15ft GRP with 30HP Mercury on the back. Half cabin. The other is a 10ft GRP tender with 5(might be 10) HP Honda. It is quite unusal, has a cover over the bow and other features.
Both are on what look like reasonable trailers. £2,000 the lot, with GPS and radio. I am sorely tempted... Not sure if I can hold back. In fact I might just get up now and go and

2.000 pounds for two boats...? Haggle... :)

Model: Larson SEi-180
Color: White with red
Weight: 2,365 pounds
Draft: 2.3 feet

Length: 17 feet, 8 inches
It has power steering and a spotless hull, and who could live without a "Sirius satellite radio"
Ignore the box in the back seat, I hadn't unpacked our new anchor yet when I took these pictures.
-
That is a nice boat I always wanted a boat like that, just to play around with, how fast does it go?
-
The speedometer goes up to 85mph (136kph) but it's rated up to 65mph (104kph)
I've only got it up to 45mph (72kph) though, because thats the speed limit on the lake. ;D
-
oh thats nice, our fastest boat only sails 28knots, but it is a 8m fisher boat
-
Fingers crossed, if the weather is OK on Wednesday, I'm taking mine out. We're going to go from Chichester Marina, out over Chichester Bar. Then up between the Solent Forts and then on past Portsmount, then to Bramble Bank and up the Solent.
I've got the video camera all powered up with spare batteries, so I hope to video some of it. If the water is flat enough, we should get 60+ kts (70mph) out of it. The sobbing sounds you'll hear are me when I fill up the fuel tank. £1.20 per litre.

Very nice, enjoy it.
Petrol and Diseal prices have gone rediculous, i can understand it if your sobbing while filling up the tank haha :D
would she be fairly heavy on fuel or quite good?
Jack.
-
I had to fill my boats empty 21 gallon tank (79.49 liters) yesterday at the US's $4.11 per gallon (3.79 liters) at the wallet killing price of $86.31 :P It only takes $60 to fill up an SUV.

How does two hundred gallons sound? :o
About a gallon to the mile. (1 mpg) A bit better (1.5 - 2 mpg) when get up to about 50 kts.
Mine is petrol, so I didn't have the jump that the diesel people did. Diesel is a bit more expensive.
PS £1.20 per litre = $11 per gallon I think.
-
Our boat has an 800liters tank so it's very expensive to fill it up with diesel
-
800 litres is around the same size as ours (200 gallons * 4.52 = 850 litres).
Lots of money!
-
i don't own a boat, but we're going to a boat dealer today to look around. We'd buy own, but we just don't have the $$ ::)

Boating is a very expensive hobby, even if you pick up a cheap boat, you still have to buy important, costly things like life jackets, radio's, GPS, flares, depth sounder's, charts, mooring fees (if your boat is constantly on water in a marina of some sort), diseal/petrol, maintenance in general is another thing,
Thats just some of it.

Yep. For example, a cheap VHF radio may cost some hundreds of pounds. The license to use it may cost another hundred in course fees and license charges etc. (although to their credit the CMA no longer charge for the ship's license for smaller vessels).
Everything to do with boats costs many times more than for any other purpose. In the Solent, simply going into any of the harbours or creeks etc will cause a bloke in a boat to spring out of nowhere and ask for money. ;D

Look boating is nothing of an expensive hobby ontil you try my dad's hobby: Aviation
He says that every thing to do with boats is 1/10 of what it costs for planes...It's true our boat costs 11.764705882352941176470588235294% of what our plane costs. :P

yep, expensive stuff. My dad uses this site quite a lot, you will probably already know about it, since its U.K. based.
Its called Force 4 Chandlery.
Here's the link to it:
http://www.force4.co.uk/
And he also uses other sites (can't quite recall what others, but i will have a look around the house for the catalogue's from other company's.) I also hope to start out with my own boat soon. Since i already have quite a lot of experience with my father's boat. I think i might start out with a Hardy, do you know that type of boat? here's an image of one:

I have to say that is a beautiful yacht! is she equiped with thrusters? i just wondered since i've seen a few fine vessels of that standard equiped with Bow thrusters. Nice vessel indeed. ;)
Neat little RIB you have there also ;D

Yes, they are well worth getting, obviously depending on how much you would use them.
Jack. :)
-
yep, expensive stuff. My dad uses this site quite a lot, you will probably already know about it, since its U.K. based.
Its called Force 4 Chandlery.
Here's the link to it:
http://www.force4.co.uk/
Jack.
Yeah. We have one between my house and the Yacht basin. I have spend thousands in there. I bought some stainless nuts and bolts this weekend. Spent 118 pounds! Good place. Lots of stuff. Too tempting, though.
-
I had to fill my boats empty 21 gallon tank (79.49 liters) yesterday at the US's $4.11 per gallon (3.79 liters) at the wallet killing price of $86.31 :P It only takes $60 to fill up an SUV.
wow. here in Norway the gasoline price is hugh. unfortnley i dont got any boat
-
Yes, it is strange isn't it? In the UK and Norway where North Sea Ol is produced, we have some of the most expensive fuel in the world. To fill my 850 litres tank currently costs 850 * £1.22 = £1,037.
Sadly, I am doing that tomorrow. :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'(
-
well, nice stuff at the dealer, we didn't get anything like i said ::) But i looked around the internet and found the model we want for a great price. I attached a pic ;)
-
hey im looking a a speed prop 5 blade does anybody now a good company to buy it from. I had a post on here but my boat is a chapperal

I wonder if its just the government being greedy? they charge for everything else they can ::) or are we really getting short of Fuel?

No, look, I've spent the last 2 years looking at boats in that kind of price range and let me tell you.
You don't want a 175 I can go on and on but for that money explore a Larson or get a Bayliner 185 for only 2 or 3 thousand more.
I was looking at Bayliner much like that one until I found the Perfect Larson for the same price that was a whole lot better. ;)
-
actually, we do want a 175 :D 2. reasons. 1. The price, its at a great price for a first time boat. 2. Its plenty big enough, so way pay more for a bigger boat :P

Are you looking at brand new or second hand?
Jack.

its a hardly used 2006 ;D only 30 hours on her, and shes only been in fresh water. ;)

Very nice, is this from a dealer? or private? sometimes it good to have a look around, rather than just picking the first one you like.
Jack :)
-
sometimes it good to have a look around, rather than just picking the first one you like.
But 2 years is too much for a boat happy Llamalord. ;)
-
We've done some looking around already, so this isn't the first good boat i found ;)
-
Don't know about you fella's but the looking around is worth it because I was out on my boat All morning. 8)

I was out in the Solent today. Took the video camera as well. I'll post the video later, but now need a lead to connect it to the PC with the video processing software.
Came out from Chichester and went up past the Forts. Stopped to watch hovercraft from each direction, plus a fast Cat and a couple of Whitelink Ferries. Also some other vessels. Went up to Fawley and then its started raining. The small boat is open topped, so at 50 kts that hurts.
Got back to the marina and the sun came out! But I walked past a nice 30ft Fairline with a for sale notice. I may have just bought that...

Connecting to the PC is my problem, :-\ once I sit down I'm to lazy to get the camera thats only 2 feet out of my reach on the kitchen counter. ;)
You were lucky I was traveling the length of the 7 mile lake that I was on this morning avoiding Thunder Storms. Here in New EnglandUSA We have had 3 1/2 weeks of constant Severe* Thunder Storms, and another 2 weeks are coming. :( I've had enough, the only way I can go out on the boat is to cross my fingers. >:(
*Some times nickel to quarter sized hail and hurrican wind strength, Many trees are missing an action. :o
-
Yeah, the wife's from New Jersey so she's explained about "weather" as opposed to damp monotony we get here.
-
well i won't be getting that boat i posted above, i was out bidded beyond my set limit. ::) So i'm gonna keep looking around, i'm sure i'll find another boat sooner or later :D
-
Yeah, the wife's from New Jersey so she's explained about "weather" as opposed to damp monotony we get here.
Look you have no idea, some of that hail put holes in the tarp I use to cover the canvas cover on my boat so it doesn't get all slimy.
-
Heh heh. Actually, I have a very good idea. I travel a great deal and have walked 200 miles in the Saharah in Summertime and the same distance in the Antarctic in the Winter. I have been in the centre of tornadoes (small, thank goodness) and experienced hurricanes and floods. I've stood on a mountain side in January in Norway (above the Arctic Circle), waiting for bus.
Weather, I understand. That's why I chose to live here in southern England where we don't get any weather, rather than in New Jersey where my wife comes from. ;D
PS wentout in the boat again today. Weather was excellent! 80F and dry. No wind. Wound that boat up to 65 kts running down the Solent.
-
hehe, sounds like fun terry. :D If anyone has any links or anything to a 2005-2008 Bayliner 175, it would be great since i'm trying to find one. ::)
-
I guess you do have an idea Terry. :D

Here's a 175 in Worcester for you-Looks good for a good price. ;)

I'll take a look on the internet for you ;)
Jack.
-
I you're willing to drive for about 5 hours to get your boat there is a great place in upper Massachusetts that specializes in small cheap but nice used boats. :-\
-
well i'm getting closer i think, thanks guys for helping. ;) EDIT: well as i said i was close, i'm currently trying to get this nice yellow Four winns. ;D
-
It's got a nice looking galvinized trailer with it. :-\ :D
-
yea its loaded with extras. ;D
-
I finally got that camera out and shot some video footage going out on the Solent in my boat! The downside is that there is a shot of me in it. The good news is that it goes quickly away.

Great stuff there Terry, sounded like fun! :D ;D
-
Great stuff there Terry, sounded like fun! :D ;D
Yes it does :D
-
Yes, it certainly is.
Dan and I enjoy bombing up and down in that boat. It is fast, easy to handle and a lot of fun. One person can easily take it out (and that happens quite often).
But, I have seen a bigger one that interests me. It is open topped, like the current boat, but is about 50% larger, with heating and a galley and heads. I may just wake up shortly and find I've bought it. I know I can take it out on my own, as I've done so with vessels up to about 36ft before.
-
Thats a nice boat, I love that wave that comes from the rear
-
Do you have one or two props, I can't tell from the wake. :P
-
i do beleave it will be an inbord so much like a jetskis it sooks water in and pusesit out so probaly one with the size of the boat

anybody know any center console flat bottom skiffs

Before I bought a boat I used to rent this kind of "Boston Whaler" I thinks its a 170 (I can't tell because I'm now a Larson owner not a Whaler)
(http://www.shipshops.com/images/16center.jpg)
Then I went to the:
(http://www.shipshops.com/images/20GradyWhite4.jpg)
And them my own even larger boat. :D
Anyone who is on the cape in Massachusetts and wants to rent these boats and more these are from the "Ship Shops" on the Bass River on the South Shore
-
well that yellow boat is gone, now i'm on to another one ::) We've got the best chance at getting this one i believe. Its a nice little starter boat. (ignore the kid, its the sellers son i belive)
-
Is that another Bayliner 175 I can tell it's a Bayliner but I can't tell if it's some older model. ???
Believe me I know all about the whole: Find the perfect boat, Have it snatched out from under your nose. deal. ;)
-
i dont really need a starter boat i need a boat to drop crab traps
-
Well the green one is gone, We're now the proud owners of a 2007 Bayliner 175! ;D
-
I know how that feels. ;D
Congratultions. :D
Now comes the hard part...
Trailering! ;)
Get ready for a world of hurt. ::)
-
congrats with the boat, it looks good
-
Well the green one is gone, We're now the proud owners of a 2007 Bayliner 175! ;D
Where will you be using her?
-
we're gonna take her out for the first time this friday. ;D
-
Friday, don't you know that brings bad luck, we took one of ours boats out for the first time after beeing fixed on a friday, and it sank and was completely wrecked.
The engine was new and that was what failed
-
i'm not supersticios very much, but i wouldn't take her our for the first time on Friday the 13th :o She'll be fine and it'll be a great day on the water.
Specs:
Engine: MerCruiser 135hp Alpha I outdrive

It depends how she's loaded and how you trim her etc, but I reckon that you should get about 22-25 kts out of her.

not sure, as our speedometer is in MPH. :D

well I hope it will go good.

-
Denis is it a 40 u have on the back?
-
Hi guys,
Our business runs about 16 boats in the fleet now, some of which are the same. Let me know if you would like some pics :)

What kind of buisseness, some pics would be great.

I was out on my boat All day with my friend today 8am-5pm! ;D
As I sit at my computer I still feel like I'm rocking back and forth. ;)
I had to tow a Jetski that was out of gas 1/2 of a mile. I had to rock the throttle in and out of forward constantly to make sure he didn't flip because I had to tow him from his stern. :-X
Jetskis are not meant to go backwards. :-\ (He Flipped) :P
He go out of the water safely though.
-
As I sit at my computer I still feel like I'm rocking back and forth. ;)
Yes i find that happens a lot to me ;D :D hilarious stuff :D
Jack.
-
This one is mine, all 10 feet 6 inches of her. ;) I'm too old to get back in if she capsizes now. :'( :'(
Do you still go out in her? (and swim back if she topples?).
My daughter has a Topper and she races around Chichester Harbour and the Witterings in it (the front of her house opens on the beach at the Witterings, West Sussex. Rolling Stone Keith Richards lives nearby and has a beach hut not far from my daughter's house).
-
As I sit at my computer I still feel like I'm rocking back and forth. ;)
I've felt that before, and i'll feel it tommorow :D, we're taking out boat out on its madien voyage for us anyway. Here is a video of my boat. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6ND2-FNdqd8 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6ND2-FNdqd8) Be Sure to watch in high quality ;)

Enjoy the Maiden Voyage hehe :D its always nice to watch a boat/ship go out on its Maiden Voyage, what i love about ships/boats is that they last forever if you keep them tidy, my dads boat was made in the 80's and its still going strong, and it will do for many years to come.
Best of luck,
Jack.
-
well our trip was good, we only lost 1 bow line at the boat launch, and my dads glasses :P We hit a top speed of 40mph, and a good cruise speed of 25mph. :)

Hi Serkan, thats a nice model boat, i have 2 model boats that are radio controlled, they are tug boats. I use one on the lake a lot and the other is being restored.
Hope you find a nice boat :)
Jack.
-

So far all I've lost on my boat is my sanity. :D
-
In my case, I've lost a small fortune. Or perhaps a big fortune. But, I didn't get a boat to save money. ;D
-
On our boat there is always something to spend money on, I guess also on all other boats. One time we got our engine room filled up with sea( the engine was only a few months old) so we had to change batteries( we have 4) all electricity, and engine starter and the two dynamos. But our incurance payed the most of it.
The alarm wasn't working, so we didn't find out before we saw that the boat was losing speed, so my father had to go and see and then he saw it. This happend also one time later, but at that time all systems were working, so we didn't get any damage.
-
could we see a picture of your boat?
-
It never ends with boats, you can spend and spend and spend, there's so much stuff for boats out there.
(replying to Minime, forogt the quote)

i also have a 21 foot glastron with a 140 hp. evinrude 2 stroke. top speed of 35 kts.
-
time to pull this ol' topic from the dead. Hows everyones boat doing this winter? any mishaps with storage or anything?
-
It's upside down in the garage for the winter but here's the pride (and only ship) in MrFlappy's fleet.
Name of vessel: OT Sport
Age/Year Built: 1 year old
Vessel Type: Canoe
Engine Type: N/A
How many knots produced: Depends on how fast you paddle!
-
hehe mines out in the yard, covered in snow and with the horrible cover system, it sinks and leaks into the boat, how lovely :P note to self: shrink wrap next year! ::)
-
Yeah I want to get a real boat (You know one that has a motor and you can stand up in) ;D
-
Uncles boat is still in storage, since the lake is iced over it would be hard to get it over to put on the lift (about a 1/2 mile from the ramp).
-
I went out in my Sunseeker Monterey last week.
-
Nice picture's Terry! I'll post some in a bit, although, ours dosen't go as fast as that :lol: haha.
Jack.
-
How fast can you get it to go terry? I'll see if I can find some new pics of our boat and maybe also some of our boat house
-
I'm running the engines in, so we didn't open her up past about 25 kts. Should get 40+ in about 20-30 more hours running time.
At the moment the starboard engine is still a bit tight, and we could only wind it up to about 3,000 rpm. Should get to 5,000 later.
-
Come alongside the next time we are at Saint Helens achorage Terry if you like :)
-
Let me know when you're heading that way. I can always walk over and wave to you (I live just next to Selsey Bill).
I carry a handheld at all times, so I can always call you up, if I know the vessel name.
-
The Sabb 2.2 thats in our's is a right brute of an engine :lol: Getting it to turn over shakes the boat on hard standing, I'll see if I can make a quick video one day. Last time she was in the water, when were were going out, it certainly attracted some attention *duv duv duv duv* all the way down the channel :lol: Cracking engine though, love it, old boats have this character that I like, but I like the new boats for the speed, especially if you run into a bit of bad weather while your out there!
One day, we were off Rhyl (North Wales) and it blew up a bit, had waves over the wheelhouse too, she handled it great, but we didn't take any chances and went onto the floating moorings, just inside.
We have a little fast fisher, a little hardy, she'll do about 22 knots on the push, but we've decided to sell both of them for a nice IP24 Fishing boat thats in the harbour, she's a lovely boat, about 9 knots maximum though.
Jack.
-
How many cylinders are in the sabb Jack? We got an 10hp sabb with one cylinder, and I must say I love that engine, since it's so easy to repair if something goes wrong
-
3 Cylinder. We haven't had any problems with ours so far, luckily! :thumbs:
Jack.
-
ah, well we have some troubles with our sabb, but then it is just to row back to sure, pure manpower, but now the engine is working great, and we have changed many parts, so nothing should happen now.

26 ft wellcraft speedboat, kitchen, vberth twin 454 mercs. top speed 75+ knots

Here are some of my picture's, from our little fishing boat, Forty Winks (Hardy 24 Fisher), the predecessor (So to speak) of Mary Elizabeth. I have mixed emotions on the subject, its a very long story too, main reason is that dad says she's too slow. and Thus dad bought Forty Winks for her speed really/Deck Space.

I was on the water last weekend on a 14 ft inflatable Zodiak with a 40 hp engine overpowered if you ask me ;D but I was driving around for an hour with my dad and friends we were in a busy channel racing around and after an hour and a half I pull innto a fuel dock and the engine stalled and wouldnt start :doh: we lucked out on that one :2thumbs:
-
Going out on my boat today. ;)
I've just been out on ours ;D
Jack.
you lucky guys, my parents have yet to get out boat summerized, she sits dormant in the yard all covered up, still with tape over her exhaust, battery unpluged just waiting to spring to life :-\
-
we're probably going to take our wooden boat up in our boathouse and wash some of the dirt off soon, then it should go some faster than it does now.
-
It's nice weather here, and I was going to go out this weekend.
But the new carburetor and thermostat I've been waiting for (port-side engine) has just turned up. So I'm going to spend some time fitting that and tuning it up.
I think it should add about 30% more thrust to that engine (it's been lower than it should be ever since I bought the boat).
-
That,s a nice boat :2thumbs: How fast can it go?? :captain:

lol I've had some carborettor problems myself, but that was with an old moped. Nice boat :thumbs:
-
That,s a nice boat :2thumbs: How fast can it go?? :captain:
I rebuilt the engines last year and am still running them in. Also, making a few improvements (like the new carbs). At the moment we keep the speed down to about 30kts, but once everything is run in, we should get about 45kts.
Not as fast as the last one (60kts), but she is larger and cuts through the waves nicely, so we can go out in heavier seas, which I enjoy.
-
wow 45? That's very nice, I like heavy seas too, we get some of them here ;D
-
45kn thats moving right along, my bowrider only makes 35kn :D
-
The last one was even faster. 60 kts.
That was the one I shot those videos from (2 hours on the Solent) last year. I think you could get the feel of the speed in some of the sequences. Like when we overtook some of the fastest boats that the Royal Navy possesses! :evil:
-
how many ccm are your engines Terry?
-
Don't know off-hand, but before I turbo-charged them, they were 320 HP each. You can probably work out ccs from that... ;) It will be in litres, though.
I haven't yet worked out the new power levels though.
They're petrol, by the way.
-
petrol? Must be spending ALOT of "oil" and two of them. Wasn't sure if you use litrers or gallons to measure the size.
-
On a good run (on the plane, except for the first and last 8 miles through the harbour, flat seas, etc) we get about 2 miles to the gallon.
Engine sizes are in cc. The rest are in Imperial for me.
-
I uploaded some pics of the boat on Flickr.com search Capt. Matt and you can find the pics of the boat tey are like 2.4 mb each so I couldnt upload em here
-
petrol? Must be spending ALOT of "oil" and two of them.
Yeah. But I didn't get a boat to save money... :evil:
-
Hehehe :evil: HOw long is yours in feet if possible
-
I was out on the M/S Grand Prize again today! ;D
-
Hehehe :evil: HOw long is yours in feet if possible
The top deck is 36 feet long. The LOWL is about 27 feet.
I only understand feet, miles and so on. Metric measurements came in after I passed my teens so it isn't ingrained into me.
I was out on the M/S Grand Prize again today! ;D
Good weather? It was wonderful here. So of course my boat was having the new carbs fitted and I couldn't go out. Humph!
-
Nice boat you have there Terry, There's one here in Fleetwood (Me and dad were just talking to the guy actually) that's just being sold (In a deal) exactly like yours, same model, by the looks of it.
I think me and you have different tastes in speed, I like the "Plodders" like Colvic, IP etc. :lol: *bup bup bup 8 knots out of Fleetwood* :lol:
Nice boat Terry!
Jack.
-
I like to vary between slow and fast, our wooden boat only makes about 8 knots, but it feels faster though, I love that boat, but then again I like to sail with our 28 knots boat and play a bit. Also very cool to see how much difference the flaps can do, felt like the boat was almost capsizing when we tested them, much more sensitive than the old flaps.
here's a pic of the flaps http://www.panbo.com/ql_boat_trim_small.jpg
-
Hi Jack.
Just because I have a fast boat now, don't think that I always do that. I have had some plodders in my time.
A few years ago, I bought the Yardmaster's boat from Nelson. The Nelsons were a a good range of boats, often used by Harbourmasters and Tug crews etc. Real workhorses.
It had a 50HP Perkin Elmer diesel. The tank was full when I got it and was pretty much full after about 800 miles later. It did about 8 kts.
It bobbed up and down a lot in rough seas, but I knew it was safe.
But one of my favourite boats was "Petit Bluer". It was 14ft, with a 4HP outboard. I could launch it from a trailer on the back of my car and be off within a few minutes, having parked the car. I went all over the Solent and round the Isle of Wight in that, at about 4kts all the way.
It was basically just a big rowing boat. Sometimes (when I ran out of fuel 10 miles from home) I rowed it long distances.
-
27ft cool nice boat those get going the speed on yours is something like 35 right
The boat I work listed above (I think) Has a 4 ft draft two 1000 hp engines and gets about 30 knots :thumbs:
-
Once I get the engines run in, 35 should be a comfortable cruising speed.
Although it is 27 feet along the waterline, boats in the UK are cunningly designed to minimise that figure. Everywhere you go, someone pops up out of nowhere and charges you for accessing their particulat stretch of water. All charges are calculated on LOWL.
If you think of a typical 32 foot boat in the USA, it would be similar inside to a 27 foot boat here. (My brother-in-law in Florida has a 32 foot vessel. It feels almost identical inside to my alleged 27 foot boat).
-
Ah Ha here we use LOA (length over all) hence the boat that I was chatting about before is 57 waterline but then 61 LOA which includes the bow and other crap we say 57 when paying for it in a marina :evil: But when talking about it we say 61 :thumbs:
-
I'm noticing alot of :evil: s when you take a look at this page... ...Most of them from Terry's evil boat. ;)
What size engine will your test-drive have?
-
Within 2 weeks going to test drive the Rescuerunner (http://www.fid.se/).
Kees 8)
-
That's a neat idea. Sort of boat version of a motor-bike. :thumbs:
-
Call it a waterscooter with integrated rescueboard.
Hope to make some nice pics then.

hmm looks interesting, our boat just went to the dealer yesterday for a de-winterizing service, so soon its boatin time! ;D
-
what does a de-winterizing service include?
-
I believe, it includes
- Removing anti-freeze
- oil change
- Gas Refill
- Bilge Drain
- Trailer Systems Check
if you really want to know I can go find the paperwork from a few months ago.
-
ah was just wondering, we never winterize or de-winterize our boats, the mostly stay on water all year round, take them up every now and then to clean and paint them.
-
Cuz there its always warm...right?
-
Wish I could say the same about Massachusetts :P
-
Certainly true of selsey & Chichester. It rarely gets below freezing around here, being right on the coast.
-
Same here in Jersey, on the coast anyways up north in the MTs. its gets cold
-
Ah, my wife is from Edison, NJ. She tells me of very cold winters and very hot summers.
But here, it is wet, mild and windy all year round.
-
nah it gets plenty cold in the NYC region just not as cold because its on the water, where i live it gets plenty cold ::) summers are decent usually upper 70s to 80s most of the time, sometimes in the 90s or more on hot days :D
-
Here I finally figured out how to get the pics up :doh:

Spent the whole Day on the boat again, :P ;D
But now I feel like I have a really small boat. :P
-
next to who's you mean this :
(http://i40.tinypic.com/72delw.jpg)
Its only 61 ft LOA
the owner wants the 72
This one above is up for sale any takes?

not bad wow that gets 27 knots I didnt know that chris crafts are nice boats I thought they were wooden though :-\

Chris Craft is one of the nicest manufactures of boats in the USA.
And yes Chris Craft is most well known for the Barrel Back series that was, Wooden!!!

Now thats a Chris Craft :thumbs: ;)
-
thats a chris craft in my mind, saw one on the lake just like that, they're awesome. on another note, my boat is ready ;D if the weather cooperates i'll be out this weekend, with some videos
-
yes MC your boat is cool "Smilin" hehe
-
hehe yea... thats the name Smilin ::)
-
hmm it seems i've killed this topic :P Anyway, i went boating for the first time this season and as always something interesting happening, while throttleing up the engine decided it didn't like that and coughed farted snorted and stalled, after several failed attempts to start it again, it finally ran and was fine the rest of the day, only other issue I broke my sunglasses ::) Heres a few pictures from the trip. I made a video but its so short it wasn't worth uploading. Anyone else have interesting encounters? ::) Pic 3 is the master captain himself ;D

Nope, you're happy with it don't listen to me...
-
why not the hudson? Too scared ;)
On our old speedboat we were boating in the good old dirty hudson and we were on our old baja 32footer with 2 454 chevy big block engines I believe and we got a prop caught in the engines :P that stunk!
But on the yacht ahhhhhh the yacht there are some stories there! :captain:
-
look like you had a great time MC, I guess we are going to beach our woddend boat on thursday, to clean it, another boat is in our boat house so we can't take it up there.
-
a boat in your house hmmm either you have a big house or a little boat ??? :lol: ;)

this is only our 3rd time boating so we're gonna boat in the lake a little more until we're good at it and terry, you're not the boss of me ;D (when it comes to boating atleast ::))
-
Lake :p that is for whimps lol
-
a boat in your house hmmm either you have a big house or a little boat ??? :lol: ;)
Nope we have a boathouse, which is only for putting boats in, we have another normal house for living in.
-
ohhhh :lol:
-
this is only our 3rd time boating
You have owned your boat almost as long as me and I keep a log, at four trips this season and 22 over the last two years, Wow... :P
-
we had issues last season that prevented us from going more than twice ::)
-
Lake :p that is for whimps lol
Why don't you go out on Superior on a little life raft, and see if you change your mind? :thumbs: ;)
-
Seeing as how MC Posted some of his, I'll post some of mine!
First one - Me at the helm in the Lock Out at Fleetwood Marina.
Second - A view of the gates
Third- View out the port side of other yachts and fishing boats waiting to be let out (Like us)!
Fourth - Finally! We've been let out, following other boats out of the Channel. Stena Leader announces that she is in the channel, all vessels use caution when navigating in the channel etc. (In other words, we're coming through, move out of the way...And we don't argue with that :lol:)
Fifth - Passed the Stena Leader, another fisher comes out and rides the wake ;D

I said Lake not GREAT lake ::) ;) :lol:
The lake I live next to can get very rough and I am offended by that. What if he was unable to get to the ocean from where he was? Would that make him an auto wimp? And the great lakes are just as lakey as every other lake, just bigger.
-
Great picks Jack, I'll get you all some pics tomorrow hopely when we are taking our boat, we dropped the idea of beaching it, we'll just remove the other.

Calm Down im just playing the hudson is tough to navigate, allot of traffic :captain: really ive thought youve been boating your whole life! My bad!

I don't have a boat personally, (I almost did!) but I do have several close relatives that do have boats. Around here it is hard to meet someone without a boat.

HI Guys this aint our boat (really wish it was) but its in NY Harbor, noit really sure why but it has a heli-pad, a 48 foot sunseeker, a speedboat, a sailboat on board it is 370 ft long :o

Hi, we went on the boat today and sailed a bit, also took the boat up to clean it, I got some pics, but I have to upload them first.

Wow only 10hp :o Nice cool style boat :thumbs:
-
ah the boat was named after you (i'd assume) nice boats and boat house ;)
-
Thanks the black boat is owned by a family friend.
even though it only has a 10hp engine it actually sails quite fast, not sure how fast though.ah the boat was named after you (i'd assume) nice boats and boat house ;)
yes it was named after me, because of all the effort I put in it. basically rebuilt everything beside the hull, even parts of the hull are replaced.
-
Wow thats cool 10hp just seemed a bit low (we have a blower that has 5hp lol) But hey if it works it does I know someone with a Zodiak inflatable with I think a 40 Hp on it and that is overkill
-
well it's no speed boat, but fast for the size of the boat and the engines size.

hehe thanks, the good things with those old boats is they never get finished, you'll always find something else to do with it. We're probably gonna take the fast boat up next week, so then I'll get so more pics hopefully.

That's a very nice boats, must be very powerful since it was used to tow barges?
-
That's a very nice boats, must be very powerful since it was used to tow barges?
This one has 15 HP on the shaft, i`m not sure if it's the orginal engine or if they replaced it because of the lower fuel consumption. This one is in excellent condition, it's for sale for €21.000..
For me she doenst have to be in this condition, as long as the hull and engine are in good condition. Welding and working with steel is a subject at nautical college, and having a engineer as father is also a big plus ;D

Just went on our boat MB LUKKA today, uploading pics now. Only got it up to 20 knots, but it was also very dirty, especially the sterndrive. I'll ppost when I'm finished uploading those pics.
-
That's a beauty of a boat, Minime. Very much my style! ;D

Jack.
Sabb :D
I know a story of the Sabb engine:
A fisherman had a sabb once, his boat went down some day, but as the boat kept going deeper and deeper for the bottom, the fisherman could still here the Sabb engines stroke as it kept going to the bottom ;D
-
It would be nice if that was a true story. But the first intake of air into the piston would be water, and the engine would stop dead immediately. Two reasons:
(1) You can't get diesel or petrol to ignite when it is mixed with water.
(2) Both sides of the piston would be surrounded by water. At least one of the pistons would be in the compression part of the cycle. You can't compress water. So it jams immediately.
Nice bit of old wive's tale for Saab, though. ;)

Sorry but I wouldn't get within 10 feet of that Out Drive. :doh:
-
well we got the best protection we could find for it, but it just made it worse than last time. We decided to not protect the hull because of some fiberglass work that is being done now, had divers cleaning it.
-
Sorry anfinn that is NOT an outboard that has been IN the water therefore making it an INboard :doh: :lol: Nice Pics, hehe captains rules go...or you die...by him throwing you into the water of course :evil: ;D
Have Fun? which boat do you like more? They both are cool ;)
-
I like both boats the same, this boat is funnier to sail with, while the other one is so relaxing.
-
Sorry anfinn that is NOT an outboard that has been IN the water therefore making it an INboard :doh: :lol:
Hi Matt,
Actually, that's and Outdrive, or leg. You do have an inboard motor, but, insted of having prop and shaft, you have an outdrive insted. They are often used to get higher performance, as the traditional Prop and Shaft don't have as much "UMPH". But they do have their own problems too, parts are expensive to replace, you need power to turn in enclosed spaces etc.
Nice pics Anfinn! We had something similar with regards to "Laws" on the boat on our old one. You see in my signature? Near the bottom? I copied it from that onto here :lol:

ah I see it Jack, nice message. actually boats outdrives or sterndrives, not sure if they are called do handle very nicely in port, you just need to know it very well. That's my opinion atleast. I'm gonna upload a video soon, of our boat going full speed ahead.
-
I had my boat taken out of the water on Tuesday and re-antifouled. It went back in yesterday (Thursday) and
I'm going for a race up the Solent later today (Friday). Leaving Chichester Marina at about 10:30. High tide is around 14:00, so coming back and going through the lock on freeflow at about 16:00, Iexpect.
-
let me through my 2 cents in about outdrives and outboards and inboards and so on ::) Theres a difference between an outboard and an outdrive. The outboard is when the whole engine and drive system is 1 complete unit. An outdrive or stern drive is the outer part of the drive system, the engine is in the board, this system is called an I/O or inboard/outboard. Then theres the inboard system with engine inside and just a prop and shaft.
-
Quite right. :thumbs:
Mine has twin outdrives (or Z-drives, as they are somtimes called, because of their Z-like shape).
-
Thank You Keane many people dont get it ;) :thumbs:
Outdrives are what we had 2 454's pretty sick eh :2thumbs:
But the boat I work on has a Prop and shaft

(http://i25.tinypic.com/2utk9he.jpg)
A perfect example :thumbs:
-
Man, I would give anything to own a boat like that. 8)
-
Ya its pretty sick! 8) its got two 1001 horsepower engines, but shes beautiful inside, and big, and shes for sale :'( wanna buy it?
-
I finally found some decent inside shots :2thumbs:

^^^^is the table in the Pilot house
(http://i28.tinypic.com/ne7t60.jpg)
Stbd side of living room, justa couch the otherside has a couch, tv, and a desk :thumbs:
-
very nice i wish i had that
-
Yea I wish I had it too :( That last pic is not the whole living room behind where the pic was taken from there is a wine fridge a fridge and a sink then there is a table that you cant see, well you may be able to see the corner in the middle left side of the pic and as I said before there is a desk and a tv and other stuff :2thumbs: It is a really nice boat :thumbs:
-
how much are they selling it for. Just wondering and i dont think i will be able to afford it
-
ah finally you got some decent pictures matt :D
-
I doubt that I could even afford the gas to fill it. ;D
Many thousands of dollars you know. ;)
-
Gas? Those are Diesel Powered ;) And running full speed it uses 160 Gallons Per Hour :o Yea quite a bit she cruises at 25knots I think which is decent for that size of a boat :thumbs: It takes umm 1300 Gallons Total and its 61,000 lbs (27,699kg) So decent size :thumbs:
Oh By the way it is for sale at $2.2million american But he is workable when it comes to the price (meaning he probably will accept lower) BUT it will be hard for him to sell it because some of the wood is cracked and there are a few other minor issues :-\ So that would be great if he is unable to sell it and bring it back up here to ny it is currently in the Marlow Shipyard in Tampa.
-
Oh I know... A Cracked piece of wood would really ruin all my fun on that boat... ::)
-
No Well not for us but if your a rich picky guy then...but Ill still take it :2thumbs: It is such a nice boat it was fun to go to the marina on weekends and hang out on it, we would watch tv...have some lunch...sometimes the owner would stop by he is such a nice guy though :thumbs: Allot of fun we had
-
It would be nice if that was a true story. But the first intake of air into the piston would be water, and the engine would stop dead immediately. Two reasons:
(1) You can't get diesel or petrol to ignite when it is mixed with water.
(2) Both sides of the piston would be surrounded by water. At least one of the pistons would be in the compression part of the cycle. You can't compress water. So it jams immediately.
Nice bit of old wive's tale for Saab, though. ;)
Yeah it's not a true story it's just a joking story for fun ;)
just said to be an old yarn for fun ;)
-
I guess we are gonna float our boat tomorrow, all the fiberglass work that had to be done is done and boat painted and looking all nice so it will be exiting seeing how fast it will go now, hopefully the trim system will work now, we had to shortwire it to rise the sterndrive.
-
$2.2 million eh? well in this economy i wish the guy luck ::) Most people have many other things to do than spend it on a yacht that costs more than most common peoples home :P
-
well you know some of those people buying yachts could maybe buy it. they good loads of money to throw around
-
Yea lol $50,000 here $60,000 there I dont think they are worried about the cost lol ::) Yea it does cost more than a common house, BUT can your house move 20something knots :doh: lol
-
we went out with our boat "Norðbúgvin" to pick up that other boat home. Wen leaved the harbour at 7 am so It's getting late for me now, lol. I got the boat up to 26 knots and the other around 17, they both look awesome when they are sailing fast. We also fished, but me and my granddad kinda got some issues in the harbour, we had no idea where our berth was :-[
I'll upload the images I got as soon as I have time for that.
-
my old house could but it was on wheels :D
-
I have a Polaris 1050 Jet Ski Don't know much about it though
All I know is that its QUICK
-
Us real boaters call Jet Skis: Speed Bumps, ::)
No, They are fun. ;)
-
haha i call them a pain in the butt when we see them in the river jumping my wake. but they look like fun
-
got the pics uploaded now enjoy them ;)
look at the boat, all clean and good to go ;D

I LOVE that boat, Anfinn. MB NORÃBÚGVIN looks a bit like a Colvic/IP, very nice boat indeed!
Jack.
-
A nice boat indeed...
PS love the new sig another great job done by TJK :thumbs:
-
yeah I like that boat very much too, sad I couldn't get a pic with it sailing, it makes some awesome looking waves on the bow.
PS I love the sig too, thanks Tore.

I work (Mostly) with Princess Yachts, which are similar to the marbella delight but most of them have flybridges.
the company I work at (on work experience) fits aftermarket items such as passerelles and tenders e.t.c. as well as ship repairs.
When a boat is launched i usually help out as a deckhand, so i get little tasters of being at sea. I also occasionally get to drive the company's Zodiac.
In future years, i'd like to be a delivery skipper or a harbour pilot, but i've got to get my Master's Certificate first :captain:
I wouldn't mind owning a boat, does that count?
ps my profile pic is of me on a Princess 21M.
-
We wen't back out in our boat today, took my cousins from Canada to another island cal Nølsoy. I think we were about 11 people onboard. Got some pics but they are on my phone, but I haven't uploaded them yet, these are taken by someone else.
first up is a nice pic of the boat

Very nice, Anfinn. I wish I had your boat! Does anyone ever sleep on it?
-
I have and others have, on long fishing trips one sleeps and another steers if needed.

No autopilot? ;D
-
actually not, it's not working right now, but I wouldn't leave the bridge for a nap anyway, since it can get dangerous quite fast if no one is one the bridge.
-
Here are my ship ;D
-
thats a nice boat you have there tore! i like the wooden style :2thumbs:
-
That is beautiful. I really like lapstrake double enders. What's the length, beam, draft and power?

-
Here are my ship ;D
That's a lovely boat Tore, I love old wooden boats.
Just curious, is there high maintainence on that? with her having a wooden hull?
Jack.

Jack.
yes it lot to do with here in the spring and when she shall upp of wather plenty of work on here
oiling and painting under wather line, but it fun do, and manny good days on the sea in the summertime, i use about 2 week to get here ready to go into sea and another 1 week after she are up for the winter, so yes it's alot of work ;) :thumbs:
Tore
-
Hehe, Lots of work!
But I bet it's all worth it, having the enjoyment of being able to go out on the boat. And plus, you get all the enjoyment of Summer with it, and you can work on it in winter. I think half the enjoyment of having a boat is looking after it, too!
lovely boat!
Jack :)
-
Hehe, Lots of work!
. I think half the enjoyment of having a boat is looking after it, too!
Jack :)
you sure got that right.
-
you sure got that right.
Depending on whether you class it as enjoyment, if your back is done in *cough* Dad ;D :lol:
Jack.
-
lol luckily my back seems quite good, but not sure about my grandfather ::)
-
lol luckily my back seems quite good, but not sure about my grandfather ::)
Don't say that! I'm sure he can do backflips better than you!
-
one of them can, but not the one I talked about. Actually the other still runs in the mountains and he's 72, but he looks like 50 or younger.
-
Tore would you post some more photos of your boat? I really like it. Especially if you have some of the helm, engine, and if you have any of it out of the water I'd like to see what she looks like under the waterline. Was that a comercially produced boat or custom built? How old is it?

and here is the jetski that Dennis let me ride over the wake of my uncles boat, VERY fun, although that loud thump when hitting the water gets annoying.
(http://photos-f.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc1/hs010.snc1/4187_111932055026_671810026_3113277_2130835_n.jpg)
-
hoping the waves is alot of fun in the boat, and thumping on the boat is annoying too ::)
-
Thumping? I never hear thumping on the boats I go on lol.....Only the engines, well on the ferries when we go oer another vessels wake theres a loud thump when the wave hits between the Pontoons :P
-
bigger boats and yachts dont do it and its harder to hear, small boats the keel is right under the floor... Its from hitting the waves you go in the air and smack the water coming back down, quite fun bouncing around
-
Ohhh I know what your talking about......Yea you dont hear that on the yacht...the engines sorta take that sound over lol We heardf on our old speedboat a bit, although it wasnt as bad as it hit the cabin more but when we went 80 mph you heard it a bit :P On the little lakeboat you even see the floor push in a little bit lol
-
Yeah, You won't really hear thumping in a bigger, or, Heavy boat. Simply because the ballast is keeping you in the water, so you sit on the waves, rather than go up, then SLAP back down onto the next.
Also, How much a boat draws (Depth) can also be a factor, a boat that draws more water is generally heavier, and so, more boat is in the water. That way you have no slapping at all (Like Mary Elizabeth).
Whereas, take a boat like say, that's around a ton, maybe less, with not much depth, and a lot of speed - That's a boat that will slap around a bit. I can tell you that from a bit of experience between Forty Winks (The boat we have now) Compared to Mary. There's a big difference in a ton and 4.1 Tons.
Jack :)
-
When I was on the Goodtime II it was thumping in the wake of one of the Washington State Ferries, I believe the MV Tacoma.

-
Yea jack the Yachts depth is 4feet 9 inches and weighs Ugh 66thousand lbs So its ugh HEAVY lol
-
our boat Lukka is about 4,5-5 tons heavym but she tumps a lot, but that's when she's planning(think that's how they say it in english)
-
Plaining I think is how you spell it, when the boat is mainly on the surface of the water......Thats fun!
-
plaining makes sense, and yeah it's very funny ;D
-
It was fun on our old speedboat, the yacht doesnt really plain THe bow gets out of the water but I mean the stern and midship are still in but 28 knots on something that size is quite a bit
-
I don't know how you spell it but I know what you mean, like how a car hydroplanes.
-
It varies I suppose, a boat with a deep vee hull and a high speed, e.g. a Flybridge cruiser may be capable of 30 Knots +, So it will plane on the water very well.
If you have a Semi Displacement Hull, then the hull will rise slightly on the plane, but not as much as say the Flybridge Cruiser ^^.
If you have a Displacement hull (Like Mary does), then you'll travel through the water, rather than on top of it. That, of course, will always make a boat slower, However, they'll always be good seaboats. And you won't be tossed about as violently :lol:
Jack.
-
You can see how far out of the water our boat gets, not even at full speed.

I don't know how you spell it but I know what you mean, like how a car hydroplanes.
clue is aquaPLANing. No I. Not that it really matters.
But imagine a world where boats can't plane!

But imagine a world where boats can't plane!
Wouldn't really bother me! ;D
I like my displacement hulls... ;D
Jack :lol:
-
Lol, one time we were going 60 MPH, with most of the diving deck under water, and the plugs on the pumps (that I put in for the first time) came blowing out, the engine compartment blew upward, and we stopped so fast, the wake came up and over the entire boat.
F.Y.I. docking a jet boat in high winds/waves is hard! We had to get someone to come out to the dock and throw them ropes, neither me or my uncle could get the boat on the lift because we where moving sideways so fast, and you can't use allot of throttle at the dock because the pumps will suck sand up.
-
60? my boat only hits 40mph but its not a jetboat either ::)
-
Sometimes you do hear it on bigger boats when in rough wheather. I was in a force 5 with gusts of 30knots in a 37ft boat. Oh and I'm back for those of you who know me.
-
60? my boat only hits 40mph but its not a jetboat either ::)
The Speed-o-meter on my boat with an upgraded engine goes up to 80Mph. I know that you can do about that but I have not because out lake has a speed limit of 45. :doh:
-
45 MPH in a small boat is pretty fast anyway.
My boat goes a staggering 6mph in a moderate wind... Might even go faster if I knew how to sail it properly.
-
My last one (the one in the "2 hours on the Solent" videos on YouTube) would do about 60 Kts (65+ mph), but it was starting to snake at that point. At that speed, even small waves would cause it to leap from crest to crest, bone-jarringly!
The current boat (a 36 foot Sunseeker Gin Palace job) does a more sedate 45 Kts (50+ mph). It weighs several tons and does not leap the waves. It slides through them quite happily, so the drinks don't get spilled.
Been out in it in some fairly horrifying weather, rescuing some people off the Mixon rocks near Selsey. It was not a bad ride, even with 10-15ft waves around us. Didn't spill a drop!
-
The speedometer on my uncles boat goes to 80 I think, but at full throttle for 2-3 minutes it only gets up to 60-65 MPH. It has two Yamaha High Output engines.
-
Horsepower?
60 on that! Well light boat big motors we got 80 out of our old speedboat had 2 outdrives Chevy big block 454 horspower and it was 33 ft long, I gotta find those pics of it :P
-
Not sure, but I think I read a while back 250HP combined.
-
Still got your sunseeker then terry. What is it a portifino?
-
i think ours goes to 60 but theres no way to check now since its shrinkwraped, and we have a 135hp 4 cylinder MerCruiser I/O engine
-
:P Lakeboats :doh:
GUYS GUYS We may be getting a BOAT!!!!!!!!!
-
:P Lakeboats :doh:
GUYS GUYS We may be getting a BOAT!!!!!!!!!
Watch out for those Icebergs!! ;D :lol: :D
-
Haha Im gonna find those pics of the speedboat today! Im determined lol
-
glad to hear that, but please try and not crash too many other vessels down when you get it :doh:
-
especially if you are on the same lake as me, dont sink my boat ::)
-
My dads a captain, well hehe he may be a captain but he tends to attack smaller boats, we flipped a kayaker once :P We were doing 28 knots on the yacht with a huge ginormous wake, we flipped a kayaker caused a jetskier to fall off and scared the crap out of a fisherman ::) Good Times indeed
-
lol your dad's crazy, I only scared the crap out of my cousins when I turned in a cirkel, they thought the boat was about to flip over :doh:
-
Well we almost flipped a 20 foot fishing boat hahhahaha See what happenes when you get a big boat with a big wake and a crazy captain...FUN :doh:
OH I found out a little more about the boat, Its like a Cris Craft and it has 2 250 horsepower engines I think, and a generator, doesnt work, but that would be the first thing we fix but he just redid all of the plumming, gauges, a new radar, and rebuilt the engines and its a 1975 I think but my dad says it rins great, (Its a Friend of ours) And their moving, but since its so old nobody really wants it but we know how much work they did to it and that its in perfect codition, so either we buy it or they donate it so things are looking good ;D
-
tell them to donate it to me, I'll even let them pay for transport over here, that how kind I am :evil:
Anyway hope you get that boat, and if you do, be sure to take some nice pics to show us.
-
I love taking the boat to about 40MPH and turning hard, feels like your either going in the water, or flying in the air.
-
dont worry I will! And I need to find pics of our old boats we had a small 27 foot sea ray with 1 engine ( not sure the specs. And we had a 32 foot Baja Speedboat with two (Small) 454 horsepower Chevy Big Block Engines went 70-80 MPH I miss that boat
-
sounds like you must have had fun :)
-
How couldnt you! Many good times in the big boat.....it really was fun! My dads laptop is missing, and thats where the picsturs are, or it could be on any of our other 8 computers :P
-
ah, it's not so smart to get too fast boats here, since it's hard to find any good weather for that stuff.
-
Yea, well thats the thing with boating, like the yacht many people have the oopen upper flybridge for 2 reasons, they like being outside, and its cheaper, my dad had the option when the owner was building the yacht to get wither a Command Bridge or outside, he chose command bridge, So if your running inthe winter time you an have heat and be comfortable, and when theres waves when our in the ocean and the splash doesnt come towhere you are, because he has video of rough seas and the windows being pummeled with water
-
sounds very nice and expensive, but wheres my fishing deck? :doh:
-
Hahaha Well My dad was offered to captain an 85 foot fishing Boat! Big Enough for you? ;)
-
only if it's made out of gold
-
Google it a 2007 85 foot Hatteras
;D
-
it looks nice, but I'm getting tired now, so I'm gonna sign off, cya later :)

How o you find the time to sail it, between dashing over all continents on the planet, designing ss pro and moderating the forum. I take my hat off to you, I really do. I wish I could manage to find time myself...

I finally have pictures! Of both boats
I need to upload them though :P

That dosent take so much time i hope. :thumbs:

Suddenly motor boats are starting to look more appealing than pratting about with wind and sails...
-
looks very nice, but also looks much smaller than 32 feet, but that's just because of the type of the boat.
-
Yea It looks bigger when its out of the water And haha Stu, forget all of that sailing work when you can turn a key and go go go!!!! :lol:
-
not always, in our old boat I sometimes have to wind the engine to start it, it's tireing though.
-
and if you're an idiot like me carbuerated engines can fight back :P
-
Well ours roared right up lol, We scared the crap out of people, when the engines startes it was like an explosion, Keane what do you think of our boat?
-
its nice, maybe your engine had fuel injection, but its a nice boat, fast yet still has an interior
-
Yea I believe it did, and yea it was good so if it started to rain you werent getting soaked lol :)
-
Yea It looks bigger when its out of the water And haha Stu, forget all of that sailing work when you can turn a key and go go go!!!! :lol:
True enough... But can it cross hundreds of miles of sea on a tank of fuel? no... Well my boat can. I MUST admit though, as much as sails have their fun, a good diesel engine is nice for leaving port... I tried to leave the first time under sail and nearly smacked an expensive yacht.
I really must take sailing lessons.
-
i'm just gonna throw this in here and see what you guys think:
(http://www.lodenavode.cz/Fotogalerie%20orig/Williams%20Jet%20Tender%20285.jpg)
top speed 55kn. not bad for a runaround.
and they really handle, trust me!
-
I'd be scared for my life in that thing.
-
they're not that difficult to drive, suprisingly! of course you can get bigger versions of those but I like this one because it weighs the least, is the smallest and therefore the fastest :evil:
-
I went on one of them went the same speed, I was driving :evil: in a shipping channel, not the wisest idea, but It was fun, It was a Zodiac with a 40hp Honda Outboard and hey stu our old boat may not be able to cross the ocean, but this can, Well I think
(http://i43.tinypic.com/15zh649.jpg)
It has a 1500 Gallon Tank, But youd need to stop somewhere :P At a small island or something lol
At 8 knots it uses 1 nautical Mile a gallon
At 28 knots it uses 90 GPH :doh:
Has 2 Caterpiller C-18's @ 1015 hp Each :thumbs:
Now theres a diesel engine for ya stu :lol:
-
With the fuel consumption of that vessel, you would be well to put carx in the hull and call it a ferry!
-
Carx? You mean Cars? ::) It cost 33 Thousand dollars in Fuel to go from Tampa Florida, to NYC
-
better travel at 8kn ::)
-
better travel at 8kn ::)
Could of bought our old boat if you wanted to go at those speeds! :lol: :D
-
Haha jack the engine of the yacht is the size of your boat...and the one we used to have too :P
Well My mom just told me that were NOT getting the boat...Why?
Because we think that the owner of the yacht is going to bring her back up to NY then we have a boat again :2thumbs:
Happy That we arent getting a boat no,
Happier that the yacht is coming up YEA!!

Name of vessel: Chill out II

-
not bad wait thats an 80 footer! :o Chill out II that is
EDIT I googled it nice little boat ;)
I wish we could get a boat again Miss our old ones and the yacht is history :'(
-
doesn't it mean 8,5 meters?
Like our boat is a vÃkingur 800, which means she is 28 foot = 8m
-
Sorry Im used to over here meaning like if you have a Sea Ray 450 shes a 45 footer ::)
-
Yeah.
I'm used to seeing boats and ships measured in feet, not metres. To me, my boat is a 32 foot Sunseeker, not a 10 metre Sunseeker.
10 metres sounds (to me) like a dinghy... :evil:
-
I agree so when I saw 800 Im like an 80 footer...someones got money haha :doh: But of all "Average sized" and "Average Cost" boats to own Id say a Carver or a sea ray for me....To go into millions Id say a Viking, Hatteras or Marlow........Multi Millions WESTPORT 112 or 130 :2thumbs: Beautiful boats (In feet remember :P )
-
well I'm used to both, if I talk about our boat "Norðbúgvin" I'd say she's 27 foot, but if I talk about "Lukka" I say she's 8 meters.
-
I found Tiger Wood's Yacht :lol:
(http://www.hot-screensaver.com/wp-myimages/tiger-woods-yacht.jpg)
-
Yeah, it means 8.5 meters, sorry for confusion :P
-
Haha its alright ;)
-
Ok Everyone ;D
My Dad has just purchased a small, but decent 41 foot Mainship

A Very Excited,

Jack, now don't forget about your OTHER boat. Which I also seem to have.
She's a little old, built in the '70s by my late grandfather (was that grammatically correct? ???) and I'm renovating her now.. well, now is a big word as she hasn't sailed for 2 years now. She isn't quite correct to the drawings as well, but only jack will notice I guess ;)
-
Wish I had the patience to do that ::) We'll be heading down in an hour or so....I'll be sure to get lots of pics :)
-
Jack
Have you ever seen the 'model' boats in Peasholm Park, Scarborough... All about 20ft long and take a human inside (or a very close approximation to one ;D )
Mock naval battles... Good fun, but since the enemy is now fictitious, it takes some of the fun away
-
Ill Post a Pic of My R/C Tug tomarow i think Jack Might Like it, i think it looks a lot like Bugseir 2

Hi Devin,
That is a ready made model, sold at about £40 quid If I remember rightly.
They run on gell batteries in a pack.
I've seen a few sailing.
Jack.
-
Yep well thats What i got Haha :)
Wish i had a Container Ship, anyone know anylinks to one?
Buts she dosnt run anymore, She Capsized in the Middle of the Fountain, not a wishing well type fountain like a gigantic 100ft by 100ft fountain
-
If you want my honest opinion,
They aren't Ballast right..They are too light. Obviously because the model itself is mainly made up of plastic, there isn't any weight in the model itself...Thus they have very poor "Sea" keeping properties..
The gell batteries do not last long either unfortunately.
Jack.
P.S. I've seen a few Container Ship Models, but never a ready build...Sorry.
-
Huh ok, Yha she is very unstable i filled up the bath tub to see if it would float after the cpasizing and it capsized again and there no Fountain to make waves :doh:
i found some here
http://www.hobby-lobby.com/scaleboa.htm
Expensive
-
Hi again Devin,
Graupner are a very popular make...particuarly over here. They do make "Ready to run" models, However, if you look....
----------------
Additional Items Needed:
Radio System
1 - HTR5651 Hitec Laser 4 Surface w/ 2 HS-322 Servos
Drive System
GR1788 Graupner SPEED 500E 12V Motor
GR2875 Graupner Navy V40R Controller
2 - GR768 Graupner 6V/10Ah Batteries
GR3061 Graupner G2 Parallel Cable

WOW LOOK AT THIS ONE! So wait i dont get it? what you saing Jack?
-
Hi Devin,
That is a KIT. That means you get some parts, however, you have to built it all yourself..
Also, They do not supply any electronics. So you'd probably end up with a long shopping bill...
My advice to you is, if you are honestly interested in model boats...Go and see if you can find anything locally...Or if it it means you have to travel a bit to see a boat, it is always better than buying anything online, because you can see it up close.
Always ask questions too...And ask for a test run, if they do not suggest one. The seller will want to convince you as much as possible (obviously), but if he/she doesn't seem to want to tell you something, or is not keen on the idea of putting it in the water...Keep away...
There is a lot you can cover up on a boat.
Jack.

If you are building that one, i would place the bow- and stern thruster as for as possible in the bow and the stern to create a larger momentum.

nice model though, anyway. Matt you better have deep pockets to keep that boat running. 41 foot boat with 2 454 chevy big block engines at 350HP people go nuts when i tell them that, and when i tell them it has a 375 gallon fuel tank they just drop dead. so have fun... :P
-
As I say if you can afford the boat you can afford to fuel it :doh:
-
I think it was another boat which has the two 254 chevy big blocks, one that's now sold if I remember correctly.
-
Our speedboat had the two 454 Chevy Big Blocks 454HP each
The 41 Footer (Mainship) has two 454 Crusader 350HP 7.4L V8 Gas (Petrol for you Europeans) and the 375 Gal tank
-
you people have weird engines, over here there are no V engines in the boats mostly normal volvos, straight 6 I think.
I've seen the model volvo penta d6 in many boats here, never any V engines.
-
You guys are the weird ones ;) :doh:
-
As I say if you can afford the boat you can afford to fuel it :doh:
might not be true in your case as you bought the boat 20 years old at no where near new retail value
-
well...The boat on ebay is about 87 Grand everywhere so :P

My dad has a boat down in Dover (we live up North now, in Lincolnshire) called the Sulac. It's a 30ft Moody Yacht (now outdated by a 31ft version) made in the 70s in Gosport/Plymouth (locations of parts, I've forgotten where she was actually finished, one of those two places). He bought her for the lovely, good value sum of about £3000, and she was well worth it! About 8kn (MAX!). 25hp BETA Marine inboard engine put in a few years ago. Beautiful hull (concrete I think). Two sails. Sleeps 2/3. Gas, cooking, water, toilet..... Usual. She sounds like a Transit van sort of.... LOVE HER! Of course, I'm at the helm most of the time, while Skipper's up for'd doing sommats with Number 1 (who is usually his good friend Ian Keyser from Whitfield if it's not just the two of us).
Picture of what she looks like: (VAGUELY, this is NOT my dad's boat, it's not even a Moody but she looks similar)

She looks very much like our old boat!
Sabb as well!! We had a Sabb 2.2, would go forever!
What type of boat is she? She wouldn't happen to be a Colvic by any chance?
Or is she a home build entirely?
Jack.

But I've got great news! (Mainly for myself though ;D
Today we bought a new boat! Not a big fancy yacht, but a nice Yamarin 50 SCS with Yamaha's four stroke 60 HP. Goes about 30-35 knots :) And now that i have turned 16 and have the boat certificate (it's requierd here in Norway) I'm allowed to drive it aswell, these kinds of boats have been my favorite all along and today the dream got real! :)
Once again, sorry for ripping off in an old topic but I just had to share it ;D

Bow Thrusters! You lucky Dog... :P
LOL one of the boats we went to view had bow and stern thrusters - on a remote control as well!! So if the boat got away from you on the pontoon you could bring it back alongside without being on it!
-
That's almost something you need with high speed vessels. They are fitted with a relative small rudder surface, to make the vessel more course stable on higher speeds, otherwise it would look like a drunk skipper that's driving the boat :P. The downside of a small rudder surface is that it's pretty hard to maneuver, you need alot of pressure on the rudder thus more trottle on the main engines.
-
if you have a to big of a rudder it will go really slow
-

Hi maalle heitetty, A nice Nimbus. The build very nice stable boats. We even visited a Windy, who are also very beautiful and stable. We had until two years a Sunseeker 47 very nice and fast but not so much teak parts. Now is no time for it. Let's see what comes next, maybe a boat from Finland.
Regards
Thor

Not quite yet but i am building a halfpea plywood sea dinghy for fishing and sailing :2thumbs:
-
Well we've had her over a year now, Dayskipper practical completed early this year. We've had two runs to Scarborough (East coast UK) from Hull, our longer trip to Lowestoft and Ijmuiden had to be aborted due to illness and a poorly engine.
She goes well, though at full throttle she uses 97 litres per hour... per engine! :o We've just filled the tanks yesterday having done 207nm since last fill, mostly at slower speed but still needed 1000+ litres @£1.15/litre.
Photo shows her at Scarborough at Easter - the passage was to be Hartlepool but dense fog curtailed the trip.
-
sweet ride! ;D
wat kind of boat is she?
well i meen, wat make and model?
-
It's a "Broom 44".
-
nice! ;D
ille look one up!

Not to be insulting,but the first word that came to my head was "cute" ;D
-
She may be small and cute, but she is great for working with creels, scallop dregs and sea angling. Really good for pottering about the coastline!

is a ghost driving that thing? i dont see anyone onboard.

I love working on them, you get the enjoyment of going out on it, while getting payed! :2thumbs: Especially when the owners are nice.
As Salty said, owning a boat isn't always the best. We sold our boat, it cost over 10k just for docking fees. She was 41 feet or about 14 metres (I think)

Old member, new(ish) boat.
I've joined the Maritime Volunteer Service, a uniformed service providing seamanship and engineering training, as well as event support and providing a support emergency service at stations all around the UK.
Here's our regional craft, MVS Curlew. She's an ex customs launch, with twin Perkins diesels. Cruises at 8kn.

Of course we also have a RIB for flood rescue, and as a tender for Curlew.

Nope. Hasn't been in swansea since the previous owner bought her. For the last couple of years she's not been much further than Plymouth.
She's a Beneteau Antares 700p, so you may have seen a sister vessel ;)

Thought I'd add some underway photos of us - taken by a friend running on a rib alongside.
First pic I'm just winding us up from a stop, other photos at nearly full chat. 8)

Nice boat! ;D
-
I'm still alive!
Just thought I'd pop by and share some more pictures of 'my' boat. There's a fairly uninteresting picture of her on the last page. On Saturday I went out with the camera and got some more interesting shots ;)
There are some pictures of my fine self driving the RIB the pictures are taken from, but I haven't gotten hold of them yet!

(She is steaming a bit, half due to the fact that she's sprinting, and half due to the fact that the port engine needs the exhaust seawater injection pipe clearing)
-
Nice starboard chair. :doh: And a wooden wheel with knobs! You don't see those anymore.
-
Unfortunately the starboard chair damage, and quite a lot of other damage to her, was caused by a college who were allowed use of her when she was with another unit. She was absolutely wrecked when she was taken out of their hands.
The exhaust gases had burnt a hole in the pipe, which meant that water entering through the pipes in the stern simply flowed straight into the bilge. The boat was left for several weeks meaning that the batteries went flat and the bilge pumps stopped functioning, so she ended up being half full of water. If she hadn't been rescued when she was, she'd have sunk soon after.
There's plenty left to do with her, but at the moment the primary goal is to get her operational so we can respond to incidents. Next thing is MCA coding, and then we can start to worry about little things like the condition of the chairs :thumbs:
