Hi Phil, You are heavy overweighed. We were discussing this already. If you had built the sailing version, it would be grave
But for a powerboat, it is not this grave. Of course, when you can, make the boat lighter. As you already mentioned, the roof made in Al would
lessen the weight I presume by at least 80 kg.?
As mentioned. Every 50 kg less gives 10 mm less draft. Lessens the hull resistance accordingly, makes the boat faster, and? or gives you more
range (less power consumption)?
Cheers
