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

Nice Pics, hehe captains rules go...or you die...by him throwing you into the water of course

Have Fun? which boat do you like more? They both are cool

Minime · « **Reply #327 on:** July 09, 2009, 02:15:10 »

I like both boats the same, this boat is funnier to sail with, while the other one is so relaxing.

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

Jack.

Oh Jack did you notice the

Symbol next to it...we had a speedboat with an outboard, 2 454 Chevy big block engines 32 footer that went fast

Ill look for some pics

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.

Master Captain · « **Reply #332 on:** July 10, 2009, 02:13:27 »

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.

TerryRussell · « **Reply #333 on:** July 10, 2009, 02:24:31 »

Quite right.

Mine has twin outdrives (or Z-drives, as they are somtimes called, because of their Z-like shape).

Capt. Matt · « **Reply #334 on:** July 10, 2009, 13:22:17 »

Thank You Keane many people dont get it

Outdrives are what we had 2 454's pretty sick eh

But the boat I work on has a Prop and shaft

A perfect example

llamalord · « **Reply #335 on:** July 11, 2009, 18:37:28 »

Man, I would give anything to own a boat like that.

Capt. Matt · « **Reply #336 on:** July 11, 2009, 19:28:56 »

Ya its pretty sick!

its got two 1001 horsepower engines, but shes beautiful inside, and big, and shes for sale

wanna buy it?

Capt. Matt · « **Reply #337 on:** July 12, 2009, 00:49:51 »

I finally found some decent inside shots

^^^^is the table in the Pilot house

Stbd side of living room, justa couch the otherside has a couch, tv, and a desk

Capt. Le Velle · « **Reply #338 on:** July 12, 2009, 01:09:10 »

very nice i wish i had that

Capt. Matt · « **Reply #339 on:** July 12, 2009, 01:26:46 »

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

It is a really nice boat

Capt. Le Velle · « **Reply #340 on:** July 12, 2009, 01:35:24 »

how much are they selling it for. Just wondering and i dont think i will be able to afford it

Master Captain · « **Reply #341 on:** July 12, 2009, 02:24:57 »

ah finally you got some decent pictures matt

llamalord · « **Reply #342 on:** July 12, 2009, 02:46:15 »

I doubt that I could even afford the gas to fill it.

Many thousands of dollars you know.

Capt. Matt · « **Reply #343 on:** July 12, 2009, 15:12:54 »

Gas? Those are Diesel Powered

And running full speed it uses 160 Gallons Per Hour

Yea quite a bit she cruises at 25knots I think which is decent for that size of a boat

It takes umm 1300 Gallons Total and its 61,000 lbs (27,699kg) So decent size

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.

llamalord · « **Reply #344 on:** July 12, 2009, 15:20:49 »

Oh I know... A Cracked piece of wood would really ruin all my fun on that boat...

Capt. Matt · « **Reply #345 on:** July 12, 2009, 15:36:07 »

No Well not for us but if your a rich picky guy then...but Ill still take it

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

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

Minime · « **Reply #347 on:** July 12, 2009, 21:10:36 »

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.

Master Captain · « **Reply #348 on:** July 13, 2009, 04:12:07 »

$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

Capt. Le Velle · « **Reply #349 on:** July 13, 2009, 04:56:12 »

well you know some of those people buying yachts could maybe buy it. they good loads of money to throw around
