New boat!

[Hot Property]

Let's start a sweepstake, I'll go for 100lph (50lph per engine) at 20 knots

Ah ok, I'll reconsider my off the cuff estimate to 85 litres per hour now as a potential reward is on offer!

I'm betting he's crying himself to sleep and will take a 50% offer.

You are joking ! He thinks he’s polished in some value ?????

 

[Mr Googler]

the speed data was from the tablet internal gps and was 2 knots under that from the proper gps so roughly

80 litres at 28 knots

120 litres at 35 knots

230 litres at 43 knots!

no as bad as I thought it would ?……except at 43 knots ???

Go and drill through some thin cheap french plastic

Managed to get out with a a professional drone chap today and knock this up. Im quite pleased with it. Had to go 20 knots most the time so the drone could keep up in the wind….never been so slow!?

Hope you all like it.…have your speakers turned right up too! Sort of brings this thread to a close! ??

It’s action reminds me a bit of these .

24.5 degree dead rise……load of old crap! ??

Going too bloody slow so the drone could keep up!

Weight distribution by dear boy , weight distribution. The CoG distance from the CoL .
Nothing to see with deadrise porpoising . It’s virtually pancake flat .Nice dumbbell effect .

Don’t think they did a shaft drive version. …..or an Itama edition so I’ve no hope with you!

Tricky you are 9/10 ths .It’s the final 1/10 th .I am being picky = guilty as charged .A lot on here wouldn’t have noticed .

Problem is the silly drone can’t fly in the conditions to show off it’s true colours - ace that final tenth .
As you say you are having to artificially slow down for the dam thing .
So loosing stability that would otherwise be there with another 10+knots or so added on .

Waves + wind would have buried the porpoising .Flat calm slow running highlights the 1/10 th .

Brochure pics eh !

NICE job on the refurb ….take that as a given .
