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!

Minime · « **Reply #376 on:** July 29, 2009, 19:28:00 »

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.

Master Captain · « **Reply #382 on:** October 05, 2009, 21:49:06 »

hoping the waves is alot of fun in the boat, and thumping on the boat is annoying too

Capt. Matt · « **Reply #383 on:** October 05, 2009, 23:46:03 »

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

Master Captain · « **Reply #384 on:** October 06, 2009, 00:11:47 »

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

Capt. Matt · « **Reply #385 on:** October 06, 2009, 00:18:53 »

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

On the little lakeboat you even see the floor push in a little bit lol

IRI5HJ4CK · « **Reply #386 on:** October 06, 2009, 07:56:44 »

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.

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.

Capt. Matt · « **Reply #388 on:** October 06, 2009, 20:42:53 »

Yea jack the Yachts depth is 4feet 9 inches and weighs Ugh 66thousand lbs So its ugh HEAVY lol

Minime · « **Reply #389 on:** October 06, 2009, 22:39:55 »

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)

Capt. Matt · « **Reply #390 on:** October 06, 2009, 23:04:54 »

Plaining I think is how you spell it, when the boat is mainly on the surface of the water......Thats fun!

Minime · « **Reply #391 on:** October 06, 2009, 23:17:31 »

plaining makes sense, and yeah it's very funny

Capt. Matt · « **Reply #392 on:** October 07, 2009, 00:27:31 »

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

Agent|Austin · « **Reply #393 on:** October 07, 2009, 06:21:21 »

I don't know how you spell it but I know what you mean, like how a car hydroplanes.

IRI5HJ4CK · « **Reply #394 on:** October 07, 2009, 07:40:37 »

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

Jack.

Agent|Austin · « **Reply #395 on:** October 07, 2009, 07:44:19 »

You can see how far out of the water our boat gets, not even at full speed.

Here is the "air" I was talking about

clue is aquaPLANing. No I. Not that it really matters.

But imagine a world where boats can't plane!

Wouldn't really bother me!

I like my displacement hulls...

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.

Master Captain · « **Reply #399 on:** October 07, 2009, 22:02:28 »

60? my boat only hits 40mph but its not a jetboat either
