![]() I’m not so sure if I like the brackets which also add some flotation while under planning speeds. Not sure if that may help the boats attitude when on plane or not. ![]() Also, I will likely build a 3 sided lightweight pilothouse over the cockpit which should add weight as well.Īnother aspect I’m curious about is cutting out a transom and building a motor well, vice bolting on a bracket. My first two methods of correction will be fuel tank move (these boats need new tank(s) anyways) and the addition of a potable water tank up forward, but low, which can also act as ballast. I noticed the lighter condition a lot, along with classic bow up condition. I have about 25 different boat rebuilds and the basic hull characteristics documented. I’ve been reading build threads and recording notes. Thanks for the replies, I did lots of searches but didn’t see the type of discussion I’d like to have.good blend between practical and the physics. Every boat drifts different, would be interested in any observations you have on this. A boat that doesn’t rock to sharply while drift bottom fishing (understand this may be unavoidable if I choose a true deep-v hull). Enough low speed torque to get through heavy current inlets, namely Indian River Inlet, DE. A balanced boat that gets up on plane well and can also cruise ~20kts in 2-3’/7-10sec period waves (typical mid-Atlantic decent seas) while loaded with gear (fuel, ice, 3-5 people and gear) This is a big ask.does anyone have general ‘lightship’ hull characteristics for these deep-v planning boats? powering (outboard sizing, location and propeller sizing) Need to freshen up on general rules of thumb for planning hulls and managing hull characteristics and powering. The power is low in the hull and either ~amidships or aft. These are heavy boats (8 to 10k lbs) with sharp entry and 20 to 24 deg deadrise hulls continuing aft. Hulls of interest are late 1990’s/early 2000 Stamas, Pursuit, Albemarle, Carolina Classic, perhaps others. I’ve been toying with converting an IO (sterndrive or jackshaft) powered 26-28’ to outboards. So I know enough to get myself in trouble and probably back out of it. I’ve owned 14’ to 24’ fishing boats for the past ~15yrs, have hand built a fiberglass pilothouse (NOT fancy) and helped others on 20-30’ wooden boat builds. I’m a NA, but do not work on small boats or yachts. I’m fairly new to the site, although frequented it a bit while attending college for Naval Arch at UNO.
