is this posting a JOKE.....
look the guy says he is 310lbs, and his wife is 460.
and wants to build a 10ft sail boat for them.
I don't think, it will float.......
my 135horse power Mercury optimax is only 443lbs
and it Cracked my Transom on a 18ft boat from the weight. Where is that
guy going with a 460pound wife.----- I think, you need to build a "Ship"
at least 28 feet to handle the load........ is this posting for real. if
it is "Weight Reduction" is the answer

I don't think so. But you better hope he doesn't find out what part of
Tunkhannock you hail from.......
I know it's not "cool" to be PC any more, but it is still rude to poke fun at
folks' weights.

Sorry I guess the post wasn't clear.
..... she doesn't weigh 460 lbs....between the two of us
there is 460 lbs total load. I couldn't understand why all where suggesting
such a big boat.
I'm thinking something between 10 to 12 ft. Beam 4' plus. Heck I'll settle
for oars, she's strong.
Just kidding The lakes here in so cal are fairly calm, winds can be
unpredictable though.

Steve,
Maybe not a joke, but if this guy is for real . . SOMEBODY has to get
through to him about REALITY.

I've seen people who have no concept of physics, or common sense, over load
a small boat BEYOND 'dangerous'. It's one thing when they are rather fit
people & their kids . . . there is the possibility of survival re-boarding a
flipped or swamped boat.

On the other hand, I helped a gentleman get his wife aboard a 20 ft. {or so}
powerboat . . when she went over the side AT THE DOCK. She was TWICE his
size, and he was of average fitness & size. I helped by showing & telling
him WHAT and HOW to do it. Although he had already gone into the water
{leaving two small children aboard} he could NEVER have pushed her aboard.
If it had happened 'in a seaway' or out on the Delaware {with it's 6-7 knot
current} they would probably BOTH have drowned. NEITHER was wearing a PFD.

Whether they ever purchased, or made, the emergency rope 'ladder' {I used an
extra dock-line}, I don't know. Hopefully the experience stuck with them. I
DID give them a stern 'safety lecture'.

As to their feelings; several days later we went to check on our P-19, there
was a nice bottle of wine, with a bow around the neck, sitting under the
cockpit cover.

Joseph,

It's still cool to be nice I think. I also found your post
unnecessarily rude. And the pity is that if you had taken the time to
read it more carefully you would have seen his wife is 150 lbs.

His post was NOT clear in regards to their weights. I too figured that
teir combined weights were 770 lbs.
He was, however, rude.

With a sailboat the weight of the crew can be add performance , placed the
right place., then my suggestion about the 5meter Cyber-Boat Longboat, also
suggest one of the most stable constructions you will ever se, based on another
design, that will carry 3 grown up round 80 kilo one side, without this realy
toughing the boat.-
That design is the Cyber-Boat Dizzie, that is stable as a rock, ---------- don't
belive me, well there are documentation for that.

Perhaps (I choose kettle) . Your rebuke is well taken. However, P.C. can
find any excuse to promote cyberboats. I am only surprised that he did
not fold 3-D onto the discussion.
