Re: Corsair 13 Power version tested

Hi All, Well the CR13 named SS Minnow was built back when I was 14, and I am now turning 29. To jacquesmm, 16 years later, and as an engineer, I realise how my comments may have come across as rude or dismissive of your work. Please accept my apology for comments I made as my younger self. Thank you...

Re: Boat for Wakeboarding, Tubeing and Fishing

why isnt the raised sheer design liked by designers? Wouldnt a larger freebord mean that waves wont be able to swamp the boat? Does anyone have photos of a FS17 with a raised sheer? how long would plans take to get to perth WA? I have 2 more weeks of uni then its finished! Straight out of exams into...

Re: Boat for Wakeboarding, Tubeing and Fishing

ARRGH! I am so lost! Choosing a boat is such a commitment! Its not like you can give up or change your mind halfway through a build. The last time I did that I turned a sailboat into a powerboat! Ive sort of given up on the whole wakeboard idea. I really really like the look of the OB15 now. It look...

Hey, Ive sort of decided on building the C19 Its going to be a BIG build but hopefully I can get most of the hull done in 4 months and finish it off during the rest of 2010.
