Re: [bolger] Re: Fast Brick redux
Ya the skids are what he calls "quarter skids" and look to be 1.5" x
1.5" on the back three feet of each chine.
Phil says, "Power: 2.5hp to 9.9hp 20" lobgshaft 4 stroke. To plane with
6 hp in light conditions, or 9.9 hp with maximum load, on 6" hull
draft." (825 lbs)

Fast Brick is a flatbottom boat with a cutwater tacked on to the front,
which would be out of the water on plane. . . I have a Microtrawler and
had a Bee, they are the step sharpies which have a boxkeel behind the
cutwater which prevents any sideways slip. Turn the helm and the boat
turns. Fast Brick as designed could skid around and possibly trip.

Rick,
In the profile drawing, since there'd be a small hook in it amidships, what I mistook for
the shoal box extending all the way aft looks now to me like just skids .
I don't have the MAIB article itself. Does PCB say 9.9 hp?

Bee, Hawkeye and Microtrawler, all boats on similar proportions," They don't bank on fast
turns, but they don't skid, hence don't trip, at least at any speed that ought to be of
interest to owners of such craft."
Since your old motor is unlikely to really develop 18 hp anyway, if you like the boat
otherwise, serious danger doubtful. Depending on how much the old thing really weighs,
you may have to move forward some to offset it.
