The original hull cut really smooth over 10 plus headed out and coming over the wakes I’m hoping with the new chines starting from now doesn’t change it in a bad way , I guess that’s why I was reaching out if there was anyone with this style ?
The beam is only 7’ so kinda a narrow boat that’s why I’ve been able to get away with the low horsepower thus far but I’m hoping with the addition we will stay within same range with the new 70’s . . But keep in mind I’m on the big island hawaii east side and water is big so even on a nice day...
This is only pics I have . I cut boat in half extended it 6 ft, changed the hull , cab , bow , and gunnels pretty much a new boat . Has 1,000# in floor ice box and second in floor 300# ice box with custom stainless fuel cells on port and stern below deck
This boats runs twin Yamaha 70’s and auto pilot connected to it . I’m hoping the large chines I made work as a entrapment for air pockets coming from bow to lift boat and give better stability /tracking that’s the idea . Thanks for the info I’ll keep posting while project goes on have a great day .
We’ll I changed the hull , port and stern and made the chines can see in pic . Was curious if anyone would have a idea on how this might ride ? I do a lot of trolling 8-10 knots and my idea was to keep the boat more at a steady track then building it this way for speed . Have you personally...
Aloha I’m a 15yr fisherman here in Hawaii and I’m build my second boat but I’m making some very different changes to hull style and wanted some opinions on what you might have . Some thoughts or suggestions .
