Good memories there, thanks. Those were the days when you could
actually learn something about boating on rec.boats
Hey Harry schooled us all on long range trawlers. ;-)
Silly me, I thought cruising up the entire coast of the US and looping
around the maritimes in Canada was long range but I seldom get past
Big Carlos Pass.
You're confusion an action - cruising - with an object - a slow, full
displacement hull boat.
With a cruising speed in the 8 kt range (what I saw on the SPOT), that
is a displacement hull. You are really getting hung up on semantics
but that is not surprising. If you can't dazzle with brilliance,
baffle with bull****.
It's a displacement hull at low speed, but it can get up on a plane. A
full displacement hull typically cannot do that.
You typically use the word typically when you typically don't
fully comprehend what you typically talk about. Further, you
typically do this when you know your typical bull**** will be
challeged. Now
I expect to hear some of your typical bull****, or even crickets.
Crickets is typically your response to being outed in some
manner.
Wrong yet again, **** for brains. The world isn't binary. Put enough
horsepower on some typically full displacement hulls and you can get
them to plane.
And unless you put a jet turbine engine in Wayne's boat, probably not
enough HP to plane. The 125' boat I long range fish on, cruises at 9-12
knots. 3000 HP from twin engines, and would never plane.
