speed differance in hulls
 

if you took 2 boats identical in weight , engines , length, etc, but one is a step hull the other conventinal, which would be faster?

step hulls faster, with the air under there freeing up the hull. :cool:

Who is better, Batman or Superman?:crazy:

YES

they both fly:D

Some builders have done a better job with their step designs than others. Overall, step hulls should see a bit of an advantage in smoother water, but there are those that question whether the change in handling is worth the potential gain. I'd say that the jury is still out. --- Jer

I dunno, but I heard Active Thunders porpoise.

:D :D :D :D

(just kidding)

But Superman can fly on his own. Batman needs machines. Superman is better. But Batman is cooler.

Batman is cooler? No way. Superman can fly on his own, has xray vision, and doesn't have a "gay little" partner!:p

Superman is waaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyyy cooler.

Superman and Batman are just characters, Spiderman is a 39' Skater V bottom. Spiderman wins.

after they start porpoising, they start chine walking too-- it's a wild ride, but fun in its own kind of way...............:eek: :D :D

Actually, Superman is a 40' Skater .... just a little cooler :cool:

I remembered that about 2 seconds after I submitted the post. Whoops.

only on OSO can you take a simple question on hull design and turn it into a argument on whos the cooler superhero. . . . :rolleyes:

besides BatMan is way cooler the superman anyday. clark kent . . .please . . he's a news boy fer god sake. dont sound to cool to me. loise lane . . .again . . please. too homely. . . now, bruce wayne. zillionaire . .nuf said there. chiks . . . uhh . . yea. batgirl, very hot. and last but not least he had the batboat :cool: not to mention batcar, batcycle, batcopter, batcave . . need i go on. . . its a moot point fellas . . . . batman is was cooler than superman any day. :D :D :D

what was the original question again :p

YEA !!!! My Vote for Batman !!!!!

What was the subject ?;)

Does anyone remember Aquaman? :D

Roby

dont change the subject roby . . . that dude is all wet :D :p . . . but i guess he is cooler than superman too, but not quite as cool as batman. . . mostly cause he has somthin ta do with water an thats close enough to boating.:D :D :cool:

Aquaman was gay

I think Aquaman was Robin's boyfriend...

I don't know how cool the Hulk is, but as a young guy, I thought it would be so cool to get stronger, and stronger the more pissed you got.

:hothead:

Glassdave is right,
Who ever is pokin Bat Girl or Cat Woman is the shiznitz in my book ;)

Batman!

One more

The Bat Boat was a Harry Schoell design :D :p

I'm waiting for a certain someone to chime in on the topic of this thread......


I knew it! One of the OSO members is a superhero. Goody goody goody. I can't wait to see who it is.

So this is how you do it the right way. So, come on, who is the superhero?

:D :D

Super Hero
 

AHEM, aren't we forgetting James T. Kirk. He's had every chick imagineable. He's defeated everything from rock blobs to gods... AND... He's the Captain of a pretty fast ship.

I rest my case!

Oh, stepped hull's are faster

:D

james T kirk!!! . . .c'mon . . .that was a fictional made up character. . . :rolleyes: . . .geeze . . . try ta keep up will ya :rolleyes: :D :D :p

I think the women would agree, they like it that men get larger the more agitated they get! That makes us all superheroes!

I don't normally care for cats but Michelle Pfeifer in that black leather.....

:doggy:

Bet ya don't do this $hit again.
:D :D :D

HEY T2X!!! :eureka: Batman or Superman?!?!?

. . . Diabolical . . . . .what sort of feindish plot is this . . . . the batboat was a non-step hull and it was pretty good in rough water. we later had Alfred add Batsteps and were able to gain a considerable increase in overall velocity but at the cost of handeling


Bulldog- man i coild tell you some stories about her. that woman in buckWILD! . . . .:cool: :cool:

Did the Batboat have a stepped hull ?

it may be time to contact Reindlpowerboats for an upgrade. :cool:

Yeah, but didn't he screw a green chick in one episode? Man, I've had occasion to lower my standards in the past, but that punta has to be bad if it's green!! :eek: I guess it's like they say, "Once you go green, it never comes clean!" :D

I bet open72 will never post another question thanks to all of us. And I am stickin with Batman being the coolest. He had attitude and liked to kick a$$. Along with the girls, toys and money.

By the way, James T. Kirk blew. He got old and fat. Never seen Batman get old and fat.

Well, I was the 5th to respond, gave an honest, serious answer, and look like a real jerk now. EVERYONE KNOWS BATMAN WAS WAY COOLEST. SUPERMAN DIDN'T EVEN HAVE A BOAT AND CLARK KENT COULDN'T DRIVE ANYTHING! --- Jer

I really like how they attached a couple pieces of metal to the transom of Batman's batboat to make that realistic looking rooster tail....NOT!

See what I mean?

OMG that looks like an old Glastron. Wonder what kind of engine it has? Hey is that where Cigarette got the idea for their dual cockpit?

:D
