Re: My next boat: Y2k!
As for the cover, yes I would consider it towable. It comes with straps about every four feet. I don't use them as you can see I only use a couple on each side while next to the house. The fit is actually really good for a universal cover. Material is the same as a $1500. one.
As for a winter cover it would need a pole in the cockpit. The snow would have to lay on the deck area though. I would imagine some moisture would get through the cover as it is not 100% waterproof if left wet for months. Mybe put something between the deck and cover to for an arch so the snow will slide off. There is enough hanging over the side to do that. |

Re: My next boat: Y2k!

Re: My next boat: Y2k!
I lived in Fremont, Toledo, and Clyde. The Marina I managed was in Port Clinton on Lake Erie. The name originaly was Jeremy's Marina for 30yrs, then The Boat Pad for 2yrs, then finally after I left it became part of Brand's marina next door since 1987.

Re: My next boat: Y2k!
Hit The Slopes Be Careful Its Slippery When Wet ?????
|
Re: My next boat: Y2k!
Thanks John. I hope to see some snow bunnies too! :evilb:
|
Re: My next boat: Y2k!
Hit the slopes and man... was it windy! 80+ mph wind gusts up in the Rockies. You could literally be pushed up hill at times. Once I got some speed down hill it wasn't to bad. A good day after all. Seventeen hour drive later, I'm back in California. I have to say Denver is not bad for winters. Temp went up to 61 deg at one point. If they only had a lake big enough for a real boat. :D

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[Posted by BBLADES, I was with Mercury Racing during the development of the Maximus propeller. Our original geometry we suggested was to have the prop built at 15.25" diameter. During the final stages of development, the main plant propeller Co. adjusted the print. The resulting propeller became 15 5/8". This was not necssarily a bad thing because the additional diameter would work on some applications. But only SOME. Why do you think Mercury offers 3 different diameters in the Lab versions. They do this because additional diameter lifts the stern too much and can't be spun by alot of Bravo, BMax, IMCO drive boats due to seaking the surface. Sure it can be spun high and vented, but will this carry your bow? Maybe. We also made the prop with a high degree of rake. The reason was because 5 blade propellers are notorious for stern lift, not bow lift. We needed to assist it holding the stern in place. Again, with the right application the Maximus kicks butt. zt260, Oh yeah do Checkmates need bow lift! We typically wouldn't suggest a Maximus for your application. [QUOTE] After reading this posted above by BBLADES awhile back, and several other similar comments. I see a smaller diameter and less blades is better for less stern lift. So, if the drive is deep enough for a smaller diameter prop, say 14.5., you would have less stern lift and more forward propulsion. Maybe that's why a 3 blade is faster than most four blades if the boat will handle ok with less blade surface area. First you will have to get the drive deep so it doesn't slip excessively when trimed up. |
Re: My next boat: Y2k!
Thanks for the reprint, time to start thinking 3 and 4 blade props again. Thanks Tom.
|
Re: My next boat: Y2k!
What 5 blades were you thinking about?
|
Re: My next boat: Y2k!
Hydro P5X and Maximus. Hydromotive told me to use the four blade not five. What a science. :D

Re: My next boat: Y2k!
Once I See How It Runs Then I Will Talk With Them But 6 Blades Seems To Be The Way To Go

Re: My next boat: Y2k!
Arent they like 20k?

Re: My next boat: Y2k!
??

Re: My next boat: Y2k!
FX,
Can I still put the stainless rub rail on even though I had you put the white insert on? The white insert is discoloring from the sun where the cover is touching it. |
Re: My next boat: Y2k!
Tom- taken the boat out lately or has it been all glamis?
