Your Boat & Motor Pictures

[pistnbroke]

brenden has it all in hand I have advised him what is required and the concerns of the non broadband members so you will get thumbnails ..5 max per post and download the photos direct from your computer ...see the full size picture if you want by clicking on the thumbnail ..........no hosting with flicker etc required

Now rosbullterrier how is that for an anal retentive...see you are on www.boatdesign.net .....asking questions

Now you all have a nice day and take some pics of your boats and engines ....

Well, Dobro, if you hook on to something really, really big and really, really ugly, be sure to snap a few pics. Many people will have been waiting a long time to see them...

My God! I've only been a member for a day and I'm already being insulted ............... oh, I see. You mean Nessie. My mistake ............
I'll be happy with a decent sized pike, but rest assured, whatever gets on the hook gets photographed

Yes Ps'nbk, tech advice is required from the worldwide boating beardies.

Unfortunately they are mostly theorists completely devoid of any humour or irony.

If an average of their PHd pontifications is melted into a useable solution it's worth the midnight oil. If not it just leaves confusion . . .

2003 Sylvan 12' aluminum semi vee hull and 1968 Seagull 40+

I use this boat to test all of my vintage motors, and it will do 25 mph with my 1956 Johnson 15 hp, and I might take it out Saturday with my Seagull.

[rosbullterier]

How much does the boat weigh and what is the aft deadrise angle?

Does your 25mph speed mean it planes?

Hi, Mick here Danny's pal and co-owner of the 102. I think this is going to be a good year on the water for us! My partner can't make her mind up yet as to which of us is Foggy and who is Clegg "couple of old buggers messing around in boats" or "Boys and their toys!" I'm sure you've all had it at some time. May one day post a pic of myself on Clunie loch late last year "under sail" using an umbrella in a plastic inflatable!!! (Hey it worked)
Really enjoying reading the forum and finding it a great resource for info on Seagull motors.

yes it planes, weighs 112 pounds dry

will plane with my 1950 Evinrude Fleetwin 7.5 hp at 16.8 mph

Here's a couple of mine at Goolwa in 2008

Try them both on a 16 ft. or longer canoe, your hull is holding you back.

Thanks Phill, at the time all I had was 2 sheets of 8' x 4' plywood, and I wanted to make a clinker boat on the lines (but not the length) of the Tasmanian 'Piners Punts'.

Rob, speaking of 2 sheets of plywood, check this out

I think I will try one with enough of the end cut off to give a 25 cm transom for mounting a Seagull or other low powered motor. The local building supply had some mertani 5.2 mm on for $17 a sheet 5 ply probably not waterproof, but should be ok with epoxy sealer on it. At least to give it a try.

Hi Phil,

That does indeed look interesting. Let us know when it is finished. I've always thought an international standard boat for a seagull would be a good thing. I've never built a boat but reckon that would be a good one to start with. I would be looking at having two bulkheads together in the middle so I could cut it in half and put it in the back of my transit and bolt back together at waters edge. I would also like to have a designated area to store a second motor plus flotation so I wouldn't lose the motors .

Will be interested in HA's views.

I've been considering this one as well:

Hello Hugz, do you mean something like this?

[Hugz]

Yep, that is the general idea. I'm not up to that standard of boat building. No standard at all actually.....

I hate plastic....
