Damn she's a tank! Looks like a great boat for beating around Florida and the Bahamas with a nice dry ride and can take a beating. Good call on the controls in the cockpit too so you can fish/troll or dock without having to run back and forth

Bravo! You built one heck of a boat! That could be a dangerous trip, but you and the Surf Scoter weathered it all. Congratulations!

Well done trip log. The audio was difficult to hear from time to time. Too bad about the weather at Dry Tortugas but still a great showing for the little Surf Scoter.

I wonder if some simple spray rails will help a bit. But I know when the wind is blowing and the sea is tall that everything wet.

How is the boat doing? I think the boats flipping awesome. I'm really thinking about the surf runner 25 and I guess now there's a surf runner 27 Devlin. Very cool build!!!! Best think about it is just 115hp, that's my style!

great boat! It is a dream of mine to build one similar. Did you have a blue print to go by? I would also like for my boat to be build to go longer distances.

I got seasick from watching this. Also had me questioning my eye glass prescription with the ultra closeup, out of focus wet camera lens footage. At the least the majority of the sound was inaudible. Otherwise great job on the video.

Things are actually louder than we think they are. Unless it is a sound we don't like Same reason that when you do a wedding video, and a small regular car drives by, it kills all the sound on the tape, yet in everyday life it would hardly be noticed. Psycho acoustics. We hear what we want to, or think we hear. So an acoustic guitar does not have a large enough air volume to produce the fundamental tone of the bass strings, but we never notice, because even the non-players in the audience just fill it in. Get yourself a cheap meter off ebay and actually measure the decibels of things in the environment. We are set up so that while the energy of sound doubles for every 3 decibel increase, we see the decibel scale as nearer to linear. Which is why you need to be so careful about noise like rock concerts, gunfire, or ear buds. People will happily go deaf.

@whyzzzard 7 ай бұрын
22x8' the widest you can trailer, even 30 foot or longer boats on trailers arent more stable as the boats stability is based on width not length the max width on the highway is an 8 foot wide load.

So why did you choose the single point? Was it the cost over safety? or cost over luxury?
@whyzzzard
@whyzzzard 7 ай бұрын
Do you mean single prop? The plans are for single prop, and I'd not radically alter the design, so Id say safety over cost. Also,. I the 115hp is the lowest hp that has digital NEMA output allowing for a modern head unit. Rather than a busy guage cluster, luxury and modernity influenced my choice.

No, single point of failure. 1 motor. Instead of two motors. What is your plan if something happens to your only motor?
