    Have you considered dissimilar metal corrosion, the aluminium will act as a sacrificial annode for the steel in water (like the zincs you would normally use, also aliminum will be the anoonde for zinc) there is a scale called the galvanic reactive scale which you need to take into accout ally is lower than both zinc and steel so will be the most reactive metal if it touches any other metal, use plastic/ nylon bushes and an insulating compound between any disumulat metals

    I'm loving the progress on the boat and also the design. However, having worked with marine grade plywood in "wet/marine" conditions, I'm afraid that you may discover that it can get "squishy" when exposed to repeated flooding, spraying, splashing, etc. Using it in a "structurally dependant" sandwich configuration my prove to be unstable. I would cut out the plywood at the attachment points and bolt 'metal to metal' for the most secure roof/upper deck mounting. I think you also need some diagonal bracing under the inner span of your upper deck.

      @@derekspringer6448 load on a boat engine is totally different than in a vehicle. The transmission is a single reduction gear an there is no torque converter. The prop pitch and diameter must be matched to the engine and reduction gear. At full throttle you want to tune the prop to achieve a certain RPM of the engine to have max load near the top of its torque curve. Changing the pitch and diameter changes how much water you are pumping by and the load on the engine. if you are shoveling too much water you will not achieve an rpm in your engines range as there is too much load. As you can imagine, the large diesels they removed from the Riva had a very different rpm/ torque curve than the LS based engines fitted now. I was not paying attention to the RPM they were achieving or if they changed the pitch or diameter of the original props. Sampson boat co channel just went through this on Tally Ho and you can see them figuring it out, changing props and changing pitch to tune their gearbox/engine/load combination in the last few videos.

    You should consider transversal beams connecting to the supporting legs of the 2nd floor. The way it is, each transversal beam is applying the load (people weight etc.) to an unsupported part. This creates stress on the structure and it not good for the long term. Also, please to a research on galvanic corrosion, because the bolts you're using is connecting the aluminium to the steel (even with the plywood sandwich).

    Something to keep in mind about the solar panels... They're likely Photovoltaic cells, meaning that coverage by shade can drastically reduce the amount of power generated. a shade coverage of as little as 1/36th of the panels can reduce power production by as much as 75%. You'll want to take that into account when mounting them and be sure that no artificial obstructions exist. Then on the water, so long as you're directly facing the sun all should be well. Love the series!

    That sandwich holding the second floor will eventually lead to issues. ALL wood rot on a boat. Once this starts happening, the compression will lower in the "sandwich" and your second floor will wobble.I'd rethink that so the leg anker protrudes above the wood and the wood has a cutout.

    the Solix F3800 with the two panels is about $4,800 of product - that is worth a little bit of time in the video.

    If you’re planning on using the portable solar panels on the roof, double check they’re designed to be permanently left out to all of the elements, they may not have the coatings on them to be outside 24/7. Because they’re ‘portable’ they’re expected to only be out for short periods (although probably fully waterproof)

    I really wouldn’t sandwich any laminated or manufactured wood product between the steel and aluminum, it could easily swell and shrink cycle and otherwise deteriorate leading to the bolts loosening
    Id use high density plastic or solid teak wood
    You should also put magnesium anodes at and below the waterline to prevent galvanic corrosion where the steel bolts connect through the steel and aluminum

    Make sure you isolate the steel from the aluminum when bolting through. Even if you aren't in salt water you will get galvanic corrosion otherwise. Tef gel and rubber/EPDM will be your friend.

    Not sure if you’re planning this or not but should consider staggering the plywood on the floor. So seams aren’t aligned. Helps keep thing rigid which I don’t think would be a huge problem with this but it would help hide seams once carpet or whatever flooring you install goes in.

    2. 7 foot was a perfect concept, for all kinds of reasons. Even a 6'4'' person hits things that are mounted on a 6'6'' ceiling. It will always feel constricted and not as open and free as it should. I hate shortcuts like this. - my 2 cents, love the build

  • @chesa6795

    Those are outboards. An inboard/outboard has a fixed internal block engine with an external outdrive. The straight inboard has a fixed internal block engine with a direct driven propeller at the end of the shaft coming from the center bottom of the boat. Inboard/outboards are fully steerable. The outdrive trims vertically, and the steering moves the propeller and shaft left and right. The inboard propeller and shaft are not steerable. Steering is accomplished using rudders. The outboard, the motor you have, is the engine, shaft, and propeller, all self-contained in one external unit.

    Those are actually outboard motors. An inboard/outboard has the engine inside the boat, and the outdrive unit with the prop is outside of the boat. Since these have the engine and drive mechanism outside of the boat, they're outboard motors.

  • @mikeybhoutex
    @mikeybhoutex 11 днів тому +5

    At first I was stoked for this thing. I'm less and less sure of it working out, and am actually now afeared for everyone who steps foot on it.
    I need experts to tell me why I shouldn't expect the following:
    Nose plows due to mass of the full hot tub.
    Planing not happening due to mass of the full hot tub.
    Not that I expect it to get to speed to plane in the first place because of mass, but also the void space behind the hot tub box causing a massive amount of vortex/drag behind it.
    The steel being used for the upper deck causing galvanic corrosion and a horrible failure with possible lawsuit impending one day.
    The upper deck folds over on a left or right turn due to not being designed for lateral loads, so far as has been shown.
    But hey, at least they'll have a solar charged battery power system that'll run a welder and stuff, so that's nice.
    Chris, I honestly, truly do want you to show us you care about everyone you are thinking of putting on that thing and have it truly looked at by a marine structural specialist. Anyone can build a floating platform, but ones that last and perform well? That's not that easy.
    I truly hope I'm overly concerned and it works out, but... more and more I'm getting a bad feeling about this.

    Very cool. Is the plywood flooring going to be the permanent floor? You'll have to caulk/seal the edges and any bolt/screw holes to stop water from entering and rotting out the plywood core. Still find it hard to believe a steel roof frame makes more sense than an aluminum frame.
