OH!! This is good....Now. Can you find me a boat that does 25 knots on about a gallon an hour. A load of friendly relatives, customers that pay the right price, whilst smiling. I'll think of a few more things whilst yer getting on with it!!

Something like <A target="_blank" HREF=http://www.aquacraftmodels.com/boats/hcab26main.html>this</A>? May not have the capacity requirements you seek and it'll probably smoke a whole lot less than you're used to

Re: Whatever next!

Well What I really want to know is, how fast is an 18 ton barge. 10ft 6in beam 49 ft with each of the to aformentined engines. I cant test the thing on the canal cos it just emtpies the thing and sits on the bottom!! Dont faf about, I want the answer in knots. Oh and how it will deal with a current ( not rasenes) Err thames ( tidal I suppose)

Re: Whatever next!

In my expert opinion......not very fast, but you do see tubs such as that on the Thames. They tend to work the tides to their advantage. You do see one or two punching the tide now and then, but they get no where slowly.

Well I suspect it probably won't plane but could be fun trying!

Re: I Forgot!!!

Ones 50hp tuthers a masive 65hp it's got the 65hp in it according to the new found info. I thought there was a sum somewhere that you could do to come up with mph. I did say that you could do. I'm far worserer with sums than spelling!!.../forums/images/icons/laugh.gif

Nothing to do with Mucky Farter or hlb in drag

Re: I Forgot!!!

Bloody hell here we go again, posting as someone else.

Anyways, deborah says it's not just spelling and sums that you're bad at...................................................
