Re: 20' Koffler Baybee
...if only it was 4 ft longer, more power and had more cabin....I'd snatch it up in a hurry! I'm in the market for a walkaround pilothouse right now.

How many weeks/months does Pacific average to produce a boat start to finish?

Re: Boat for Bar Crossings
I'm still trying to decide what beam to go with. If I go over 8.5', I will have permit issues when trailering. I am leaning towards 28' length. If I decide to go over 8.5 beam, I'll probably go up to 10' beam. I basically have several options: 1. 28' long x 8.5' beam x 7.5' chine width 2. 28' long x...

Re: Boat for Bar Crossings
CTMD, in the picture above, why are there no lifting strakes on the boat? Is the chine doing everything and more that strakes would do?

Re: Boat for Bar Crossings
Thanks Welder. I was just looking at the Pacific website today. I couldn't find any specs on the boats, as far as deadrise, chine info, etc. I sent them an e-mail, but if any of you have info to share, I'm all ears.
That is a good-looking boat.

Re: Boat for Bar Crossings
CMTD, thank you very much for your input. I really do appreciate it. I didn't understand this statement: - you don't want added "stability" above the waterline as this may cause the boat to auto correct in a way you don't expect. What do you mean by "added stability above the waterlin...

Re: Boat for Bar Crossings
What deadrise would you suggest at the bow? 45-50*?CTMD wrote:Stern, most these days have with a warped hull allows us to tweak the Volume to suit the layout. Keep the chines relative narrow 4-5 inches, 5-10 degrees reverse at the bow, flat at the back.

Re: Boat for Bar Crossings
Chris,
Thanks for the info...some things there I haven't thought of like baffles in the fuel tank, transom stuff, etc.
When you say 15* deadrise, is your suggestion for the stern, bow, both?? Or would a warped hull be of any benefit?

Boat for Bar Crossings
Hi all, I'm starting to put together a long list of features and designs I want built into my boat. It'll be 26-28' long, a walk-around pilothouse with forward leaning windshield and a cuddy for overnight stays in the harbor. I'm leaning towards outboard(s) power, maybe even on an extended transom (...

Trim Tabs
A boat salesman recently told me that if a boat has twin outboards, trim tabs are not necessary because you can trim the motors. Having never had a boat with twins or trim tabs, I'm coming to you guys to hear your advice and comments. I'm looking at 26-28' aluminum boats. Perhaps this discussion dep...

Seems as if I have heard that 5052 is less "corrosion resistant" than 5086. Is this a myth?

Re: Diamond plate floor???
Thanks guys....glad for the input. I found another thread on AAB from a while back that has helped me form my opionon on this issue. Where I'm located, I doubt if I'll ever fish barefoot. Boots and nonslip deck is important to me.

Re: Diamond plate floor???
Gundog, how's your non skid holding up? I was going to ask some of the same questions in this thread, but found it doing a search.
If anyone has any other suggestions about nonskid vs. diamond plate, I'd be interested in hearing them.

Aluminum Boat Depreciation
I was just thinking today how my 20' boat hasn't really seemed to drop much in value over the past 5 years. Similar boats that are for sale (used) are still being sold for about what I paid for it back in the day. That's a pretty good deal considering how rapidly boats are presumed to depreciate. He...

Variable Deadrise
I am looking at 25-28' alloy boats. I've noticed some alloy boats have variable deadrise from bow to stern, while others, after the bow portion of the boat, maintain constant deadrise to the stern. The Wooldridge pilot house, for example, is one that appears to have constant deadrise most of the len...
