I’m not against this being a displacement-only boat. Or, for that matter, choosing a different motor/battery setup. I want to stay with 48V, for...
I presumed all along that welding would be in order, but while I was focused on thinning the material to save weight, I forgot about the...
That “live rudder” is definitely interesting, though I would think that a pod drive, particularly at the low speeds, would do the same without the...
I’ve studied Duffy boats, though have never been on one. I like them.
I guess I don’t understand what an “aft rocker” is. Maybe I’m missing something critical here. I’ve been working with an engineer who has been...
Overall length is 3 meters (10 feet). This is intended to be a specific-use boat. I looked at hull material on a lot of small runabouts (jon...
I haven’t given up on my efforts. I feel like the design is coming along nicely. [ATTACH] The details aren’t perfect yet, but certainly...
Yes, in order to meet my “scalable design” goal (which may not be as attainable as I think), a pointy bow is necessary. And I’m really more...
Heh. Yes. I really didn’t start from scratch. I took a lot of inspiration from a the layout of a 3 m boat that looked simple, but it (being...
Oh, criticize away; no sweat off my brow. I do appreciate constructive criticism, which you and a few others have provided. My overall goal is...
Delftship is (unfortunately) only a Windows program, and I'm running a Mac. I'll search and see if I can find an alternative.
How much power would this boat, as drawn, need to plane?
The modeling software I'm using is not as capable as I'd like, and neither am I in using it. It only provides orthogonal views, so a straight-on...
