Hull shape how aware are you ?

Re: As promised in another thread....

Wonder what other design tools they have used to "refine" exhaust noise -curious ?

Huge dustbin silencers, essentially - though at SL they are very proud of their exhaust systems, so maybe they have some other aces up their sleeve, not sure.

hmm ability to cruise @40 knots and more compred to a mid 20s slugger of the SL72 --and get this ---- more or less the SAME fuel burn !

Now that's a tough one

Not so tough imho, for two reasons:
1) First of all, cruising at 40 rather than 20 kts mostly means halving the pleasure time and also the comfort - a loss/loss situation, in my books.
2) If speed on the water is your thing, 40kts is nowhere near enough to get me awake. Make it double that, and on a 25 rather than 75 footer - then we are talking!
But that's me, of course.

You are looking down the wrong end of the telescope ----- go twice as far for the SAME "pleasure time " --arguably having a bit more pleasure too
Tough choice ,it's a pitty you can,t try one for a season each --then decide which ones the keeper --you liked /used the best

You sound like a wham, bang, thank you ma'am type portofino. Maybe Mapism prefers to take his time savouring his pleasures

I,am slowing down ,it's a natural ageing process --find we go along more and more @ D speed ,enjoying the rhythm of the sea as we go .
MapishM is going the other way -speeding up -from D to now P ( with a choice of D ) ,but yes Italian men are reputed to "savour" there pleasure more than us Brits .

Just to clarify I,am talking about boats not women
The boat route probably works out cheaper too !

Re: As promised in another thread....

Yeah, there's always a cheaper alternative.
I always say that economically, it makes more sense to get addicted to heavy drugs rather than boating...
...though the latter is hopefully better for health, in the long run!

For sake of editorial balance, here's a peculiar hull I came across in the last days.
Makes Itamas almost rail-lacking, in comparison....
Btw, it ain't as easy to identify as the previous SL 72. Anyone up for a virtual Montecristo Cigar?
She's a 16m flybridge boat, just to throw in a small hint....

 

[vas]

no idea doesn't look good tbh!

However, that's ANOTHER boat you find where white old thing is still stuck on the props! Need to find what stays there on a planning hull props for (I assume) a season!

cheers
