  • @jimquantic
    @jimquantic Před 3 lety +7

    Thank you, love it. For me, ideal would be higher rails--and I would love to see it on a dual axle trailer, why? Not weight bearing so much, yeah, I get this is more than enough. But with a dual, you can carry extra things in the boat without thinking about it--AND, when you have a high speed blow out, and it can happen, even with the tires maintained, you have an extra level of safety. Again, ideal world.

    • @EM-hu2bj
      @EM-hu2bj  Před 3 lety +3

      Thanks!
      Higher rails are definitely an option.
      Tandem axles are nice, but this rig will be going about 2km from the launch ramp to storage twice a year, on a rural road with a 60kmh speed limit, so no high speed blowouts for this one :))

I just always think about ideal designs, IF one starts hitting the open road, maybe to camp and fish, dual trailers can't be beat.

    Interesting to see this built, well done. I am curious, why is the floor so high? and that space under the floor not used for storage? Just seems like the center of gravity is a bit high on this. But perhaps there is a reason for this..or this boat has a specific function that I am not aware of.

      @EM-hu2bj  Před 3 lety +2

      Thank you!
      It is certainly softer than steel, but it’s highly corrosion resistant, and widely used for boat building, including commercial fishing, patrol, law enforcement, and pleasure craft. The required thickness depends on boat size, design, and intended use, and the alloy used. This boat has 3/16” plate on the hull bottom, 1/8” sides and deck, and 1/4” for the transom.
