Did I miss something here It's a POS sink it.
David wrote: I've got an old boat very much like this one: http://www.warnersdock.com/images/Fr...fores15yel.JPG that I'm trying to make into a mini-houseboat, sort of like a camper. I only expect to have about 200-300 pounds in the roof and walls, and the roof will only be about 48" above the gunwale. The hull will weigh a *lot* more than what is added, so shouldn't that alone be enough to keep it from being top heavy and flipping over? If I add weight, like a couple hundred pound bags of sand down in the hull to counterballance, shouldn't that take care of it? If so, should they be placed on the sides, or in the center? |
