As per above, will it plane. I use to have a 9.5ft model that would plane after about 30 seconds with the Mrs up front, that had no foil.
I find foils get the boat to get the nose down quicker. Also the longer length may assist? total weight onboard is about 320lb.
I think the hard bottom hull will be about 6ft, so Im presuming the front might just stick on the front seat head rests?
The reason I ask is for security purposes and dont have a roof rack ;-p
Clearly not looking to plane here but Id like to be able to troll lures is all out of this portable set up with 2 people. Some of my lures run up to 10kph.
Ive been looking at guys trying to get their 4HP planning their infltable dinghies.
What it occurs to me is that you need a large planning surface, of course you can through my HP at it, but weight up front and planning surface is the way forward for them.
I look at a 2.5m inflatable and it...
I have a c13 Caribe, it doesnt leak water into the hull unless I wash the hull or if I get a lot of spray into the boat.
Its not a lot of water, but annoying.
Normally it just feels like condensation inside and no water when I undo the bung an stick my finger inside. But noticed a cup or so...
Had my hydro assist 50hp yamaha 3 cyl out the other day. For some reason the hydro assist lifter is floppy. Like its snapped a pin or something.
What could have happened?
In the mean time is there any way to disengage the locked down leg and lift the leg so i can move the boat?
Im wondering if a 5hp is enough to handle tide and winds for a 3.4m hard floor inflatable keel with 2 adults? No looking to plane clearly, just to displacement to get around headlands for fishing and freediving. ie slow A to B.
Seldom will be in anything over 10knots and the tides are usually...
My mates got a nice hypalon RIB thats got a bolt through engine mount on the transom, was done to meet his survey requirements. Essentially He has 2 holes at the top and a big plate at the bottom on the in inside with holes there for the bolts. So four bolt holes in total.
Its a glass RIB. It...
My local chandlery is selling off old 250g stock but the rival has the MHS75 for $10 more.
The 250g is not waterproof, where as the MHS75 is to IPX8 standard. Also the MHS75 has 1, 2.5 and 5w options vs just the 1 and 5 on the 250g.
I dont see the benefit of the 250g over the mhs75, can...
This is my first 3 cylinder engine, 2 stroke. Its so much quieter than the 30hp 2cyl (value range) I had prior and the low down power is incredible. I dont feel like Im reving the neck out of it all the time like I did with the 2 cylinder.
I know not everyone can afford a 3cylinder but the...
Does anyone have a carib and know the correct PSI for the tubes. Mines a 13ft DL
My dealer said 3.0 but caribe said 2.0. So Im very confused. I can see it on my spec plate either.
My 2009 vmhdl (aussie model) is brilliant but quite hard to pull over, has great compression ;-p
It already has the looping inside for charging, has the prewired insulated ends.
I know I need a rectifier. But I dont know if there is a kit for converting to electric start which would be the...
