Thanks for the Idea about a hull drag test. I may
try that as soon as it warms up here on the
Chesapeake. I'll post any data so that other can follow along
with the repower story. Should be fun.<br>FYI
currently the boat is powered by a 15hp Saildrive and has a
12x9 prop, loaded displacement is +/- 6000lbs. my
cruise speed is 7kts and max is 9.5kts. My intent is to
keep the saildrive leg and simply remove the block and
adapt the existing shaft to a belt and pulley system.
