Hi Craig, happy someone watched it. The older Marcos still have a similar hull design to the current ones in that they have the lower chine line, wider shoulders and similar deadrise, that was just combined with a swaged chine rather than the welded chine we do now.
hi mate found this video very informative, getting into aluminium boat building myself just as a hobby and would like to know if you have any courses or websites etc that you can refer me to the get a more in-depth understanding ? cheers
Thanks for your comment. Glad you got something out of it. I don't really know of much short of a full blown marine design course. I didn't go down that track but had a few mates point me in the right direction and have been learning for 10+ years since and still learning. I guess maybe ask some questions about what you want to know and I'll see if I can do a video on it at some stage in the future.
@@marcoboats I think an ideal water line reference at rest and on plane per each of the hulls possibly even different wave/chop heights at seperate intervals passing through the hull showing high/med/low stress sections on both the external and internal areas with your personal opinion of how you would like the boat to handle in these situations. Apologies I feel like I have so many questions and agree possibly a marine design course may be the path I go down not only interested in the design but id love to dive into the build process.
@@shugalug198 the software I use doesn't give me answers to the questions you are asking, you kind of have to have a bit of an understanding through practice mostly. There is software that does this of course, I have no idea what it's called but this sort of simulation is not done commonly at a trailer boat level, the cost would be too high and I would say the results would all be fairly similar given hull length only vary from about 5m to maybe 9 for most common trailer boats. What the marine designers typically look at more is the weight study of individual trailer boats, trying to work out where the centre of balance is likely to be located, length, width and height wise with the length CG being the most critical first usually.
Very educational thanks mate
Brilliant explanation thank you for sharing your knowledge Dane. Get well soon 🙂
Great Dayne, thanks for sharing, curious as to where my old girl fits these days...
