Aside from elbow grease, what if anything was applied to the props?
Awesome set of wheels, Marin. Did you do it yourself, and what process was used. Envious minds want to know.
With everybody bragging on their clean props, please don't overlook the very large rudders on the DeFever in comparison to the much smaller on the Grand Banks. That DeFever is a monster!
"...they seem middle of the road or a bit above average like Art's Tolly. Good boats to be sure but nothing really exceptional jumps out at me when I see them hauled."
Darn Eric
Due to not having a good pict of our baby girl's pretty private parts, I hadn't even placed my georgious Tolly Baby into this "under the skirt" X-Rated beauty contest... but, then of course, you just had to mention me and, down play our Tolly a bit anyway, now didn't cha?? And after all the wonderful things I say about your wooden boat! Tolly is just shaking her carefree fiberglass head She is pretty shy about her private parts' beauty ya know!
She dosen't blurt it out and very easily expose herself like others. Never would allow me to snap a pict while in the stirrups on the hard!
But, I'm NOT one bit shy!! Tolly and I compliment each other well.
But you would benefit from the DF rudders.
Mark,
For the size of your boat your rudder is'nt exceptionally large. And I'll bet it's plenty big enough.
Mark,
All I'm say'in is that your rudder is of average size and I'm sure it works quite well. Not inadequate just not excessively large as I thought you implied.
Marin's start'in to sound like Sarah Pailin. All I'm say'in Marin is that I think the GB was conceived as a faster boat than it turned out in the present
Speed doesn't become a word in the GB lexicon until the 1980s and it became a major selling point in the '90s. And of course it is today with their new fast hulls.
