I am trying to get various people to 'spec' a new prop for my 27' Owens motorboat.
Most are asking for the weight or displacement but without any definite information how can I best estimate this??
The boat is 27' overall 8'6" beam but is a planing hull. Draws about 1' if you ignore the small keel. Mahogany on oak clinker built above the waterline with a plywood hull below the chine.
Boat is a bit like the old Chris craft US lake boats of the 50s/60s.
My guess is about 2.5 tonne?? Finger in the air stuff really.
(not sure how to make the picture bigger??)
Cheers
Scott
