Re: Hull design- thoughts?
Looks a lot like the Coldwater Boats hull form. I own a 30' charter boat here in Alaska, and would say 24.5* deadrise is overkill. 18* is plenty in a boat that size and displacement, not to mention the added stability at rest you gain. At 24.5* it would need huge chine flats to maintain comparable h...

Re: Picked up a Bayweld Walkthrough
Some more pics. This boat rides nicer than any other aluminum boat of this proportion I've been in (basically all). The mid cab distributes weight nicely. The deep forefoot does not catch (broach) overtaking. The chine flats are large and transition from bow to stern as to generate great lift and st...

Picked up a Bayweld Walkthrough
Well, I moved on from the 25' Seawolf. I really liked that boat, but this baby became available for a good price. The Bayweld rides exceptionally well in moderate to mod-heavy sea states, can't say enough enough about its handling capabilities for its length, beam and displacement.

min speed for planing is 15knt+/- min rpm for planing is 3400 rpm+/- Those new 300's (4.2l v-6) are very torquey, with the fly by wire you have to be careful not to send people flying. Super wide motor as you guys know. I set my control friction fairly high as to not accidentally bump the controls a...

Those Marion's are good, well built skiffs. They were built in Alaska and I thought they were all at least 3/16" bottoms. They really are/were a good skiff, I've seen some up here that I thought were the best deal around for the $
