While reading his profile did you notice that Mr Fuller has 2x 325HP engines, yet you claim earlier in this thread he would be unable to handle 500HP! I know Fuller can be a bit of a FGT sometimes, one thing we can be sure of is that he can handle a powerful boat!

ADS- yes afterwards. So felt a bit of a prat.., But they are inboards, OBs are
more difficult due to weight alocation - hence the trim tabs

JF will have to look it up as can't remember and the only person who knows is at Nieuwport and I am stuck in Brussels today.

OK, I'll help.


Both the 2 stroke 250, and the HPDI 250 share the same ratio (16:29, or 1.8125:1), as far as I know, they're not offered with any options, as it would be easier to change the prop!

iF i REMEMBER - they aint anyway near to that given in the spec. These engines were re worked by Yamaha - due to software upgrades and were in fact shipped backed to them

garf - 52 knts in a 6 aint anything special. Waves were 150 cms high and the boat just love it. Driver went a bit pale. On getting into Oostende harbour put the boat nearly on its side.
Trying to find a suitable temp. mooring the only free place was this kind of large fendered hardboat- and in all innonsense threw a line.It turned out to be the Harbour police and they then went to town on the ships papers.
The only thing that was a problem was that the VHF disc had come off the cabin side window, and had to spend some time trying to find it.

JONNY FULLER - bet you cant put your boat on its side- thats why a RIB is great - you can get it to stand on its head!!!!!!!!!!!

I have been on rescue duty in me bath when a force six has been blowing in my pants and I reckon a F6 is just under 2.8m

A wave height of 1.5m is a F4.

Might be wrong!

I have seen some pretty big waves with a Force 0 - think they are caused by this "tides" thing..................

Those waves would surely have been ground swell caused by wind possibly thousands of miles away.

If they were peaking looking more like chop then this would have either been caused by shallow water or coming into contact with a strong tidal current. this usually happens round headlands where for no apparent reason the sea will sudenly chop up as you round the headland and then be calm again the other side.

id love to have a degree in fluid mechanics to tell you why this happens but im afraid i dont sorry

As we are skirting around making a fool of ourselves, or at least someone is, I've just sent an Email to about 5000+ people and left the "Read Receipt" on.

My Inbox is going crazy. Even though I've "Recalled" the message I still appear to get a message telling me its been recalled from each person

Sorry to dissapoint you fellas- but wave hight is not only a function of windforce.
Top line states there is a windforce of 5 to 6 with a waveheight between 125 and 150 cms.

Thats what i said - you have to take fetch into consideration it takes a few miles to whip up a chop so within a several miles of a sheltered coastline you will see smaller waves your wind is northerly so anything other than a northerly facing shoreline will result in reduced fetch and therefore reduced wave hieght.
