so, the idea with the double keel is back (the purpose is different!)
although you could use the beer in the double keel area to cool the engines, warm beer

See? After all, the double hull bottom I previously mentioned was worth a thought...!Shocking.... Thats not even a crate of beer.....

Btw, today I went to my yard to see how the deck recaulking is proceeding on my old tub (behind schedule of course, aaarumph!), and couldn't help thinking of our debate when I saw the following hull. Not something very common on plastic vessels as this, but gives an idea of what I was talking about....

Yes, i see exactly...
That is quite easy to do... But not at this stage now....
No going back over redesign etc.... I have lack of hair, no more to pull out

LOL, no worries, hairs are a nuisance when diving.
...though BartW might think otherwise, I reckon!

whoops....always liked red oxide, much much better than the zinc rich primers IMO.

Although its in primer, its going to have to go back to bright n shiny....
Primer has been on too long.... Next coats wont stick, so its got to come off....
We settled on, after a few discussions... 25x25 4blade prop. Aquaquad 87dar
Gives 16% tip clearance
Shafts are 50mm temet25
Fabricated stainless p brackets, inset boxes in the hull, to reduce noise and cavitation. Set in scotch fast...
Carrying a total of 3500 litres of fuel....
I think we can squeeze more in, but... This at the moment is in two tanks, port and stbd... So its simple... Longer range tanks, i cant see being an issue... I had thoughts of smaller main tanks, any way, and yhen additional LR tanks... But been talked out of it...

Not sure if latestarter is reading this.... But i am sure somewhere i read his thoughts on gearbox mounting points, and wether they were used or not. Or, if he used the gearbox mount, and not the associated engine mount...

He explained that in the last paragraph of this post:
http://www.ybw.com/forums/showthread.php?371014-Re-engine-16M-trawler-yacht&p=4632009#post4632009
We debated that further in a few posts which followed, but in a nutshell his opinion was that if the gearbox has rear mounting pads, he prefers to use them rather than the engine mounts off the flywheel housing, because that gives better results in terms of noise/vibration/harshness.
