In the foot recess ? I like it. It's always nice to have 2 hands on the wheel when your driving hard.

FX10,

I was just picking on him, the title of this thread is
30 inch cabin if you look at the double " after 30.

Rather than single ' after 30.

Sorry for the bad Humor. :D

Hey Rick,
Just gelcoat in mine please... :cool:

Re: 30" super boat cabin?
 

I'm trying to figure out the hot tub and pool table in mine. LOL

Seriously, I'm about to build in my interior this winter - I plan to put two cabinets against the bulkhead, 14"x 36"tall x width of benches (~26"). To port this cabinet will house stereo, sirius modulator, amp(s), and some stowage. To starboard the cabinet will house 4 pfd's and two impact vests, with stowage for intercom headsets. Going forward I intend to build forward facing lounges between these cabinets and the front bulkhead, maybe mount a removable DVD player on the bulkhead. Add a prota potty and basic v-berth pads and I'm done. I estimate the build will add about 100-150# max. I'll add some lighting with an automatic switch so when the access door is raised, voila - lights on! pimp yo' ride anyone??? LOL

Re: 30" super boat cabin?
 

Krakmeup and his Once Bitten, have posted GPS speeds of 74.1 mph. He does not have the finished cabin. What sort of weight gain does the finished cabin add to the Y2K, and how much is WOT reduced with a 496 HO? Also, Once Bitten has the 'Old School' layup as opposed to the current Lightweight Race layup with the fully cored hull. How much weight does the fully cored hull add and what mph reduction is that layup likely to create?

Thanks,
Ken

Ken,
I'll talk to John on Monday, and get back to you with some weights. I do know that the lightweight hull, which was the standard hull, is hundreds of pounds lighter then the "Old School" layup. in the late 70's to late 80's, the race 30's used to get the "Old School "layup, plus the sides were also balsa cored. Those hulls were literally bulletproof. The Standard lightweight hull cost quite a bit more due to the additional materials (Divinycell Foam coring, Divilette compound, 1708 glass in place of Mat and 24 oz. Roving) and labor involved. I know of a lightweight hull with a 496 out east on the island, he's doing 76mph.

Re: 30" super boat cabin?
 

Rick, thanks for your reply. Just to clarify, you are saying that the more expensive lightweight layup, which is fully cored, is also lighter, therefore faster and potentially stronger than the "old school" layup?

Thanks,
Ken
