kmrmike Posted June 26, 2009 Report Share Posted June 26, 2009 I've been thinking about building a 1962 vintage hydroplane featured in Science and Mechanics Magazine. there were two hydroplanes I know of from this era and the one I've chosen is a 2 place at 13 feet 7 inches. The other hydro was a 4 place and 14 foot length, only 5 inches different but a 4 place machine. I would like to add about 1 foot length to the one I choose to make it a 4 place version and would like some input regarding these changes...Thanks..Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PAR Posted June 27, 2009 Report Share Posted June 27, 2009 Don't even think about it, for several reasons you may or may not understand. Glen-L has a handful of hydro's to select from. Use a design that's well suited or modify a design and find out how well unsuited you are at hydrodynamics. I'm not trying to insult you, but just suggest the gravity of these types of modifications on this type of hull form. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kmrmike Posted June 27, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 27, 2009 I was hoping to hear from someone of your experience and respect your comments..And will stick to the original plans if I continue on with the build. Thanks..Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
