wombat nee blownup Posted May 15, 2012 Share Posted May 15, 2012 Sounds like there might be a market for laying up a few more sets off your moulds, should think people with the same boat would pay well for a set. Shouldn't think so, everyones got at least one in their back garden Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swordfish Posted May 15, 2012 Author Share Posted May 15, 2012 hi Paul, sorry to hyjack your thread with funnies, a very intresting idea ,it should aid the boat to plane if you have enough power,although as said you,ve done it to reduce "squot" .no dought you,ve read this ,but here,s a link to some intresting reading if anybodys intrested. http://www.boatdesign.net/forums/boat-d ... 33936.html Nice job and thanks for sharing Hi Diesel Falcon, No problem, not hyjacking at all, adding a few funnies makes it all more interesting. If you think about the weather or the economy, everything seems very dull. Re the hull extension, I do have some past experience with hull design and development, so I decided to do this modification to my hull, but as is often the sensible route, I kept quiet until the water test. I am realy amazed with the result, far better than I expected, and a real bonus is that the customary and always very annoying steering " wonder " with this type of sterndrive boat has now been eliminated. I think Wombat's tanks will be great for use with a drying out mooring, I'm sure David and Perry will be first in the que to buy from Wombat.

pks1702 Posted May 15, 2012 Share Posted May 15, 2012 Sounds like a good idea Paul great to use for drying out. Tow it to your required mooring let it sit on the bottom' at a convenient depth open the doors 'drive' in, shut the doors bingo a non drying drying mooring Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
