Crash your very own 'Offshore Powerboat'...

Caught an article while reading Trailer Boats Magazine while in a customer's office this morning; discussing Trim Tabs. Its actually a pretty good magazine with some great information.
Article had a link for a program you can download for free, to "try" driving a boat (simulator) with trim tabs. Its very rudimentary, and for us, pretty darn funny, however, it was fun to play with for a minute. I downloaded it, and scanned it for viruses, and it appears safe and tame. You can choose from a little OB powered skiff, a sport/fish/cabin cruiser, or a 'Cigarette.' Its pretty cool. I do not believe you can spin out the 'Cigarette' even with the tabs all the way down, at full throttle, and full lock turns. :D :D You can run that thing right into land though!!! :D :D Then back up and do it again. It must be an experimental Slate & Straight hull. (Possible new model, the Cigarette SS?) Link: hangsim.com/temp/bttd_vs.exe Here is a screen scrape of while I was playing: |
