its about discussing a carbon fiber lay up and building the best boat possible. i take you comments to heart.
thanks for your thoughts Sean.
ill add a couple things.
1) just because a question is asked does not mean the answer is not already known. entry level is a place to start.
2) one cannot...
really? all i every see them build is cats, not saying they have not built a V or two.
lol!
much respect GINGER!
anything your willing to share i am will to listen.
im not claiming to have anywhere near your level of knowledge in building boats or skill so again not looking for a...
"Test have shown that failure is unlikely to be a problem when cyclic stresses coincide with the fiber orientation. Carbon fiber is superior to E glass in fatigue and static strength as well as...
sorry if i offended you GINGER or mr. carter.
im really not looking for a pissing match and i do value your input. a civil discussion is generally a good thing.
i respect your opinion and i submit...
when was the last time you used a grade 5 over an 8 when you realized a chance of failure.
last time i chececk a glass layup was not solid carbide either.
so just what will cause this failure. it seems that is the big hang up you guys have. is it the brittle nature of the material?...
i thought bone stock 502 run 76-78 in those boats...
it can be.
i guess my point is if its strong enough being brittle would not matter...
carbide is brittle too. that doesnt stop one from using it as a cutting tool.
am i missing something?
the edlbrock is the biggest turd you can put on a boat. if you must have one buy a 750 i will bet you $20 that it makes a min. of 10 HP over the 600 on your 302.
if you want to make 20HP buy this....
thats worth a lot more than 2 cents GINGER.
im not really a glass guy. my expertise lies in the engine side of things.
we will likely go conventional bag initially but are looking into options...
great stuff guys. i dont think we have ever spoken but my memory is not what it once was.
:bonk:
the main reason is weight reduction, strength and to build a better mousetrap if possible.
if...
thanks for the sound advice. that was the original plan and the more we looked at it, the more it became compelling to build the entire boat from carbon fiber.
$100k
:lookaroun:
thanks guys! im going to skip the autoclave
it will be an offshore race boat. im not currently at liberty to discuss the particular model as that is not 100% finalized.
it will be an all...
thanks for the input Mr. Carter.
why would i need to autoclave a boat?
lets discuss the pro's and con's.
i know its been done but it may be time to do it again.
:worthy:
how much weight can be saved?
the original sweet 16, nice!
maybe a little less trim but other than that GOOD DAY!
:D
14.2 is optimum with the engine running.
12.3 or higher from the batt. alone. you found your problem.
lol!
did you check your voltage?
:frown:
the pump leads with a meter.
JRock.
heres the rub. your pump may be good and you have a wiring issue.
A,B,C?
:wink:
ya its working. the fact thats its going up under idle indicates that.
the reg. will blow it off around 40 anyway. u just got low pressure and if it causes a lean condition you will definately...
