A Naval Architect I am not, but I'm gonna guess that when a vessel only displaces 1% more water weight than the total weight of the boat there is bound to be a problem :o:D...

So, the guy who started that thread sees the two boat builder waste $2 million over several years, yet does give them any advice because claims he does not want to interfere with their dreams. Then he stands ready with his digital camera the day the boat is launched in the water, so that he can get some good pictures when it sinks.

And then he makes fun of the boat builders on line.

What a d*ck.

Not to talk about the other d*cks posting on that thread.

The guys on that forum must be the biggest bunch of d*cks anywhere outside a BMW owners forum.

If that Guy had $2,000,000 to spend on an experiment then it is possible he wasn't open to suggestion and should have had the foresight to understand what His limitations are... I usually don't spent much over a single paycheck on something without asking a few question concerning the purchase or project risk...
