The "Stuff" ,, how much does it weigh?
"Gogarty" wrote in message ... In article , says... You can also use this method to calculate how much to raise the boot top for a certain load or increase in weight. -- Our boot top is way higher than the molded-in design boot top. Another factor is water in the boat, bilge water and the adsorbed water in the hull. There can be a big difference between a boat after six months on the hard and the same boat in the slip at season's end. Those crummy GRP boats absorb water. Then they end up getting blisters. Joe's got the right idea. His boat is made from steel. Steel does not absorb water. I think they need to start making boats out of carbon fiber and exotic resins that repel water. It would be stronger than steel and lighter than aluminum. But, I guess it's a wee bit too expensive at this stage of the game. Wilbur Hubbard |
