Re: Endurance

Have I shown enough SOH for an invite to the post LIBS bash?

Re: cold shower

Jeremy, all this talk of throbbing big engines has obviously caused you to have all sorts of grown up feelings. Suggest you reach down to the transom (assuming its still there) and turn on the shower.
 
Bolt aero engines to the mast

Don't cut the mast, kepp it and bolt a couple of Lycoming aero engines either side of the spreaders

Should be able to get 200hp each side, air cooled nice n light loads of power, not doubts about whether you're under power or not.

Keep the volvo as a backup.

Surely someone must of thought of this already!!!!



yada yada..
 
Re: Wait for it..

With the potential of being "Kimmerised" and then having to spend the rest of the day pleading, begging and generally bribing The Almighty Kim to let us back on the odds aren't in our favour!!!

However, the true intentions have been shown... wanting to ride the waves with Pauline... must be feeling all macho what with talk of engines, full throttle, power, turbos and getting it up on the .......!!!!

... I want to be back on the water!
 
Vanishing stability

Hmm

Id be a little concerned about stability. Call me picky, but all that power up there might just upset stability a smidgeon. Why cant I cut the mast in two, and make outrider pods at deck level. In that way I also get a high-speed scythe on each side, should any raggie get on my tits.

Re: Love handles

Suggest you unbolt the keel. Redrill it and fit it sideways. This should give you the planing surface you need. Also get rid of that great big rudder. Or turn that round side ways and us it as a trim tab!!

Re: Love handles

But you've not exlained what a trim tab is? Also, I'm keen to get some other Motorterms and descriptions.

Waiting for Pauline

This posting is crying out for the intervention of Pauline. Only she knows how to twaek ones tail without incurring the wrath of the Fat Controller.

What\'s wrong with Kim?

..he's made his views quite clear.

As long as we keep it legal and humane , anything still goes.

It's only when those big bad people like hlb and byron and oldgit and TCM and jfm have a pop at poor little sensitive soul like me that he's going to beat them up.

Go for it...worse things happen in life ...anyway it's Friday and all Old Hacks have been down pub for at least 2 hrs , will then stagger to Waterloo for choo choo to Berkshire New Town. So you're safe until Monday morning anyway.



...I wanna boat please..
 
Re: cold shower

Cant get to the transom shower any more. Ive put two outbard brackets there now. Ive traded in the 2hp Honda, and got a pair of 50hp. If you can put one 50hp on a Macgregor to get some performance out of it, by my reckoning a pair is fine for the Bav.

The Volvo has reverted to its original role of auxillary, so raggie purists will be happy

Re: trim tabs

at the backof a powerboat if you look into the water are 2 sort of flap things about 6- 8inches sqaure each with a little hydraulic ram. The ram can extend to push down the flap. This wd make the nose go down if u think abt it. Or, if just use one you can straighten up a unbalanced boat or trim for beam sea.

Often, trim tabs simply make the boat go slower. But mine a little teensy bit BUT not too much make it do 1 knot more! No trim tabs on a sail boat. Don't even say "trim tabs" or they'll know yerv been here.
 
Dials and switches

OK, Ive understood about trim tabs. Though why you dont just flood a forward bulkhead, I just dont understand. Same effect on bum, IMHO.

Another question. Why do you have so many dials and LCD's at the helm. Where I come from, some would consider a rotating LED in a circle (old echosounder thingy) as a retrograde step, and an unsafe dependency on electics. I've rather run short of funds having just bought 2 Honda 50hp's, now hanging gracefully off the back end. Can I go down to Halfords and just pick a random selection of dials and switches?

BTW, do they still make vinyl for car roofs? Would it look tacky if I put a brown vinyl roof onto the coachroof of the Bav. Its looking a bit rough after Ive filled with GRP the holes now the mast and wire is down?

Re: Love handles

That's cos we like your description !

Wake = Miniature wavelet created after gunning engines and arriving on plane. Process required to be undertaken within 50 yards of harbour/marina entrance. Does NOT constitute a hazard to any other vessel unless having effect of spilling SWMBO's G + T.
MB Sprint Competition ( similar to longest drive) is'How long to get on Plane', obviously has to be performed in front of judges view i.e Dog and Duck car park.
Additional uses of wake are to provide playing surfaces for accompanying brats on PWCs ' cos how else do they get to take off?
'A wake' is self explanatory - what all raggies have to be if stinkies in vicinity.

Re: trim tabs

So all I have to do is press a few buttons, and everything gets back into balance. Strewth, and Ive been wasting time winding in bits of sail at the front and middle to get the same effect. I want some trim tabs. You'll see Ive fitted 2 50hp Honda's now. Do they come with trim tabs, or do I need to retrofit.

Ive junked the freshwater tank, and filled it with Petrol. So, the red cap means diesel, blue is petrol. Note to self - must put a sticker above both caps to make sure I dont get mixed up.

By george I think he\'s got it!

The vinyl is ok, but treadmaster doesn't show all the lumpiness of the glue, and avoid need for filling and sanding first.

Yes, totally fine about any old switches and dials. Hardly any of these work. We had a 50 foot boat which eventually had only a depth guage that worked. Rotating led sounds ok but friad looks a bit crap nowadays, unless you are riverish, completly diffferent.

Riverish: having a powerboat on a river. Speed limit less than 5 knots. No, I don't get it either.
 
Re: Come away from the dark side

Jeremy
get out of here
They are are only trying to woo you with their tales of 3 hr round the island trips and G and T's

.......Then they present you with the fuel Bill and its toooo late

run away run away

Beer! Now there's a temporary solution.
 
Re: Come away from the dark side

No way. Its much too much fun here. Anyway the mast is down, and Ive got two 50hp Hondas hanging off the transom.
