Re: Stus-List Roll-Up Inflatable Dinghies and Motors

I second the Porta-boat and ~2hp outboard. We've used an inflatable but just because it folds up does not mean that it is small or light. Neither is the ports boat but at least I can lash it to a lifeline station and it is more or less out of the way - though the benches need stowed too. The

Surprised at the comment on the yanmar 2gm, I have one in my 33-2 and no such complaint. Perhaps I just don’t know any better. The 34 was on my shopping list and I looked at several. Iirc, the balsa core extends into or close to the bilge so a damp core in this area is worth checking for.

You remind me of a wonderful boat I used to run, Matt. She was a 52’ hot molded mahogany ketch called Stormy. A wonderful beautiful fast yacht, but not terribly stiff. We used to say that the last 1000 pounds of backstay was just the stern getting closer to the masthead! Andy Masquerade Andrew

I think this is getting confusing, some numbers in this discussion are pounds per square inch hydraulic pressure, rather than say, 2,000 pounds of hanging load. I would certainly not have wanted to put 4,000# of actual load on my 39’s backstay. Imagine a 2’ X 2’ X 7’ concrete pier block

Hi Edd, Here's what I did: I went with a Portabote because it can easily be driven with a torqeedo, and in fact it is our preferred motor as opposed to the 6 hp 4 stroke that came with the boat.  The 6 hp motor will drive the boat at 13 kts with both me and my wife it it, but as another person

I used to sail on a 34 that had the 2 cylinder Yanmar. That thing would shake the entire boat. Some had Atomic 4s I think, which are much smoother, but any original A4 that is not FWC is living on borrowed time at this point. Actually ANY RWC engine from the 80s not in a fresh water lake is.

Happy Friday to everyone. I've enjoyed the discussions this week. 2000 psi on a hydraulic backstay for a large keelboat is not very much and seems overly conservative to me, particularly with the large headsails that many of our boats have. We used to routinely go to 4000 psi on a 33 foot Santa
