2 tone z71 Posted October 11, 2015 Report Share Posted October 11, 2015 Got to thinking today as I was out on Huron in a decent sea,,the impact the hull takes as it dives into the wake must be pretty decent in a small area ...there's times it makes a good smack as it bucks the wave....wonder what kinda psi that section of hull takes ?...also wonder about shock loads on the trailer and outboard wear with that transom saver..motor mounts ? ...I know too much time on my hands ..muskies weren't cooperating ...happy thanksgiving to you and yours Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SirCranksalot Posted October 11, 2015 Report Share Posted October 11, 2015 If a boat is not designed to take those sort of loads it's a pretty crappy design. What you describe is normal use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

irishfield Posted October 11, 2015 Report Share Posted October 11, 2015 I'm landing airplane floats at up to 80 mph.. bottom skins .032 ! I think most .063 / .090 boat hulls are that thick for rock finding missions! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think most .063 / .090 boat hulls are that thick for rock finding missions! I've seen what happens when airplane floats find rocks. It's not pretty!!!!

I think most .063 / .090 boat hulls are that thick for rock finding missions! Wouldn't the narrow tubular shape of a pontoon versus the wider open top shape of a boat also be a factor?
