Nice. Love the term "Starmada". Do we have a secret handshake or anything? Wait, I know... tattoos.

i'm not scared of THEM any more....ever since i lined the bimini with tinfoil, the black helicopters can't target the Predator drones on me.

and then i go into the aluminum cabin and become wholly invisible to them

Barato, have you been walking around in the desert without your hat on again? Time to go inside and take your meds, we will watch for the black helicopters

i joke, but you should see the # of gummint helis one sees flying over here just north of the border. i should file FOIA requests to get aerial photos of the progress on my boat....

Dude it's Google you need to be afraid of. They keep track of everything. There is no such thing as "cyber" tinfoil either.

Also another rare on is the NOVA...which I never knew about me..

Re: Which model rules iboats?

yeah, it is nice fabrication work. but 900 lbs for 140hp? sounds like an I/O, for a lot more $........

Re: Which model rules iboats?

That's crazy, he did a great job on the project but boy does it sit low in the water at the transom, even with the concrete in the bow.

Re: Which model rules iboats?

No matter how many times I read that thread I am still thrown off by pouring concrete in the hull of a boat.

Re: Which model rules iboats?

I wouldn't be suprised if that boat is close to the max weight with no passengers in it. Would you take that bad boy out on Saginaw Bay Jas? How about Lake Erie? Even your mullet couldn't keep it afloat when the waves kicked up a bit. Following seas would be a blast eh?

Re: Which model rules iboats?

he must have misheard the old saw about a hole in the water and thought they said "concrete" not "money"..........

at'sa lotta damn pool noodles just to float the ballast

No matter how many times I read that thread I am still thrown off by pouring concrete in the hull of a boat.

He was trying to make the boat "float" better apparently by adding weight. I am perplexed by this also.

If I ever use a ballast it is temporary ice, food, drinks, fuel, etc. Adding the weight permanently is no good in my book.

Glad we are in agreement there.

Re: Which model rules iboats?

Not mine!......I don't own one. Over 10,000hrs over the last 15 years and none are mine. The Admiral owns one that she let's me drive once in awhile.

on second thaught.....a kayak!

Re: Which model rules iboats?

What I don't understand.... Why didn't he shove the fuel tank all the way forward? Less # on the stern, more # on the bow???? Probably the same weight as that block of concrete.
