Re: Looking for a Small boat


Webcrawler_1
 

That is what I have found....<br><br>I can get a
stable ( inefficient boat ) or a Efficient boat that is
not very stable.<br><br>I am seriously thinking about
making a mold for my boat. ( My dad is a 38 year retired
composists specialist from Lockheed )<br><br>What do you
guys think about dimentions. I was thinking about 17'
with about a 90" beam. Each side of the catamaran
design would be approx 2' to 3' wide to provide
stability.<br><br>Best way to think about the design would be two 17'
Canoes with a platform between the two and the outboard
in the center. I would of course adjust the shape of
the hulls as nesessary. I would not make the hulls
symetrical to reduce the bow wave collision in the center of
the boat which would cause significant drag. I guess
it would look more like a tunnel hull with a
rectuangler tunnel down the middle.<br><br>I have never seen
a large bass boat made this way before, but it
should be fairly stable and offer much better
efficiency...I do see a lot of small 8'-10' two man crafts made
this way....They are basically two pontoons with two
chairs connecting them together. Not exactly what I am
going for...<br><br>Any thoughts or comments will be
most welcome...
