Hmm... I was just at West Marine two days ago, surprised I didn't see it. Nice call MC, sorry to question you although I still do not believe that Jack's model is inflatable

its ok and they're good to use but kind of expensive and according to jacks link its an inflatable otherwise why would he be wearing it

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.

Minime · « **Reply #302 on:** June 26, 2009, 00:47:06 »

here are the pics, look for more on my picture album, the pics were all taken with phone, so the quality might not be so good.

Wow only 10hp

Nice cool style boat

Master Captain · « **Reply #304 on:** June 26, 2009, 01:58:26 »

ah the boat was named after you (i'd assume) nice boats and boat house

Minime · « **Reply #305 on:** June 26, 2009, 02:22:34 »

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.

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.

Capt. Matt · « **Reply #306 on:** June 26, 2009, 02:34:27 »

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

Minime · « **Reply #307 on:** June 26, 2009, 02:35:58 »

well it's no speed boat, but fast for the size of the boat and the engines size.

That's a beauty of a boat, Minime. Very much my style!

The one in ours was a Sabb 2.2.

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.

Ballast · « **Reply #311 on:** June 26, 2009, 17:26:23 »

I would like to have a boat like this someday

They are used to tow barges back in the days.

Minime · « **Reply #312 on:** June 26, 2009, 19:26:57 »

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 â‚¬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

Looks like you posted in the wrong topic that should be in the Rate that ugly ship game

Kidding, Looks very cool so it is an ocean rescue vessel? Looks like an anchor handling tug

Ballast · « **Reply #316 on:** June 27, 2009, 11:45:05 »

Not sure if she can do anchor handling, i think she is mainly used as a supplier / support vessel

Attached a data sheet of the VOS Pioneer

Nice vessels! Thanks for sharing!

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.

Sabb

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

TerryRussell · « **Reply #322 on:** July 08, 2009, 21:28:10 »

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.

here are some pics for you all
one of the two most important rule onboard a ship
