  • I got a boat

    cool guys, thanks.


    haha mariner, clearly my memory is not holding up on me hahaha, thanks for the lesson...either that or the guy who sold them to me was stretching the features of the products :)


    Jeff, would that mean that they would work as well for Dan's purpose of not getting damaged by the tossing on a boat? If so, sounds like that is cheaper than the GellCell, even if only a little bit.

    cool, thanks mariner..i knew the deep cycle were good for long draws and they can crank with very little power left...makes sense that they wouldn't be optimal for repeated cranking.


    I know there are different ones cos I used to use the marine deep cycle...it had a red top and matched better with a lot of the fiberglass work :)

    they are only like 100 buck more no? I used to use those optima batteries for the sound systems I used to do, I think they are gell no? I know they are deep cycle marine batteries but I kinda always thought they were gel cell

  • What slows down a shaft the most?

    Don, is it really possibly for there to be laminar flow along an object that is both creating forward disturbance and cavitating? isn't there going to be at least micro turbulence around the shaft?
    i see how laminar would be ideal, but i feel like that is only possible on paper, no?


    I have often wondered if the turbulence created by releasing the bands would disrupt the fluid dynamics effecting the shaft as well as the shafts own properties as it moved...

    this is fantastic!!! Jeff you are a wizard not a fabricator, I bow to you




    this is a great example of invention being driven not by necessity but by imagination and that is a beautiful thing.


    I was having a conversation with my brother and sister yesterday about how science has become completely financially driven and how Kepler, Copernicus and Brahe all pretty much were paid to watch the stars by rich folk who just hoped to have their name in the annals of history and before them you had galileo who was more than content to just survive if it allowed him the ability to work at what he wanted.....now the idea of learning and exploring for the benefit of humankind's growth has disappeared...shame.... glad to see you keeping the torch of insight and exploration growing

    MAZEL TOV Dan!!! congrats on the boat...she is a beauty....may she carry you and yours on many many safe missions for years and years to come. :)





    I agree w Don about keeping the guns vertical, seems like it will rob you of too much room horizontally.


    I cannot wait for the first voyage and report.....so Dan, wanna dive?

  • Bad little dogs...

    damn...those are some badass lil pups... I've seen a 14" jack russell sail over a 6 ft privacy fence like it wasnt there...ever since then, i've been impressed w the breed. this takes it to another level.

  • What slows down a shaft the most?

    i think the material of the shooting line also plays some role and I believe the water temerature would have some significant impact too.


    I feel like the use of crimps vs knots would also factor in but much less


    Iwould alos consider the tip. slip tip or fixed. pencil or tri cut. super sharp or rock tip
