Hi,
Is there a formula or calculator that can determine how much additional weight affects the speed? For planning boats.
Let's say, your 24000 lb cruiser will cruise at 24 knots. And you add 2000 lbs, how much less will the speed be, all other things being equal?
There's tons of charts and performance stuff like this for airplanes, would think there'd be a lot for boats, but a search turns up little.
