MrFlappy102 · « **Reply #177 on:** March 07, 2009, 04:46:44 »

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!

Master Captain · « **Reply #178 on:** March 07, 2009, 05:18:03 »

hehe mines out in the yard, covered in snow and with the horrible cover system, it sinks and leaks into the boat, how lovely

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)

Agent|Austin · « **Reply #180 on:** March 07, 2009, 05:44:52 »

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).

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

TerryRussell · « **Reply #184 on:** March 07, 2009, 16:49:07 »

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

TerryRussell · « **Reply #186 on:** March 07, 2009, 16:53:47 »

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

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

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.

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

IRI5HJ4CK · « **Reply #189 on:** March 07, 2009, 18:12:01 »

3 Cylinder. We haven't had any problems with ours so far, luckily!

Jack.

Minime · « **Reply #190 on:** March 07, 2009, 18:24:25 »

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.
