Interesting;
Big bow wave and following wave almost non-existent. ?
Re #442
Dang, she looks fat, Bill. What’s the beam? Same power as Mark’s?

38' 11" LOA; 12' 10" Beam. Fits in a 40' flat rack for economical shipping. My cost China to Oakland, $10,000 USD. Fifteen feet to the edge of the container port dock and lowered to the water, $11,600 USD! You can see why many So Cal imported yachts are delivered to Ensenada, Mexico. ...

My Coot's transport from China to Oakland cost somewhere in the neighborhood of $27,000 seven years ago.
Your fenders are more than mine five per side! Perhaps we have similar docking issues.
True, at that time the flat rate "flat rack" option wasn't available and expensive bulk cargo rates were charged. Considering the longshoreman's "charges" its about $5,000 difference.
Sorry to hear about your mother, I have a mother in law and grandmother suffering with dementia so maybe have an idea as what you are going through.
Quite the boat but 700+ x 2?
I can hear them sucking from here (-;

You are right , I really don't understand why they put so big engines in "trawler" , even with our 215X2 Perkins on Hoa we saw we had "too" much power, in real life we need (in good weather condition) les than 200 hp (total) to run at 9,8 kts .
Even the ex patrol boat need very little power to run at "low speed" :
Fit smaller engine could be an option, but they have only 680 h
- 5,45 nds -------- 13,40 lt/h -------- 2,46 lt/mille mimimum speed on one engine
- 7,81 nds -------- 24,24 lt/h -------- 3,10 lt/mille
- 8,00 nds -------- 27,54 lt/h -------- 3,44 lt/mille
- 9,00 nds -------- 35,93 lt/h -------- 3,99 lt/mille
- 10,00 nds -------- 47,90 lt/h -------- 4,79 lt/mille
At 9.5 kts the former owner said less than 40lt per hour and he was happy with that ...But compared with Hoa 1,85lt per mille at 9,8 kts or even with the patrol boat ... She pay her beamy hull and relativity short waterline for her weight.

Our photo disappeared from our previous post so here are four including our recently installed 450w solar array and one evening meal.
Wow! Your boat is a sister to ours, love the bimini top you have! We have been trying to design ours and yours looks just like what we have been talking about. What material is it made from? We got sidetracked when our Pathfinder blew a head gasket and we are in the process of repowering it. What kind of engine do you have in yours?Most recent photo of Badger in Kitsaway Anchorage, north coast BC, Canada, showing off the new "temporary/seasonal hard-ish supported by the boom bimini"

Thanks for the pictures and instructions, definitely going to give it a try. Looks great, the best one we've seen on a sundowner. Your response to our repowering effort also was helpful. I believe we are going with a Yanmar 80 hp. Hope it works out for us.#1) Beware of advice on the Internet
Ours isn't made to stay up all winter (houses here are rated to 90 pounds per square foot for snow loads) so is made to disassemble easily. It's also not made for hurricane force winds because we only get those during winter storms.
As you can see from the stern view, we have a big dinghy for the two of us, our daughter, a couple Yorkies, a 140 pound Pyrenees cross dog (Canis Mastodonis) and camera gear.
That's why the boom is there, with a manual boat winch mounted closer to the mast, because the dinghy is heavy and impossible for one person to hoist by themselves. The 2x6 near the water has modified Weaver Snap Davits that the dinghy pivots on when being hoisted. It was whacked together one weekend about four years ago (after some thought) and is still hanging on...
The framework of the bimini is made from milled, solid pieces of fir. Don't know the dimension of the wood...I just scoured the local hardware supply store to find one with the length and flexibility needed. These were then painted with Kilz white primer.
I pieced the framework together in place, attaining the curvature by placing individual pieces over the boom and tying their ends to railings or grab bars.
Once the pieces across the boat were in place, I then 'weaved' the lengthwise bits into place. Once all was 'good enough' I drilled holes where the pieces crossed, and fastened them with stainless steel bolts. They were then numbered, taken apart, brought home, then reassembled on our driveway where the four 4'x8' corrugated plastic panels were cut to fit.
The vertical pieces are simply plastic pipe through which the rope tying the fir pieces to the railings and grab bars are fastened. You can see the long untrimmed ends on the overhead shot. The vertical pieces offer no structural support, but are only there to stop wind from forcing the bimini downwards.
Height from aft deck is 6'4" at the outside edges.
Won't make the cover of any yachting magazines, but I don't tie white sweaters around my neck either
I answered your repower thread...a previous owner of ours put in a 100hp engine which I feel is too big. Hope you get back on the water really fast!!!

Damn. So nice!
