Re: [PSUBS-MAILIST] To Risk Everything21, Re: 18 ft Hobie hulls. Bill Akins.



Bill,
 
The boat is on the beach and is still mostly all there. I head up to St. Pete. about once a week and would be happy to come up to Hudson to deliver the boat and check out your sub.
I'm planing to fix up my catamaran trailer this weekend and haul my boat up to Clearwater to have some repair work done. Once done my boat will go back on the beach and the trailer will be free to haul the Hobie 18 around.
 
The weight your talking about is really pushing it. The Hobie 18 does not have very much buoyancy in the stern section, and its crossbeams are not very far out of the water. Likely, you could somehow connect your wetsub between the hulls and mount small twin outboards to power it, but the sub would have to be dragged through the water, it could never be pulled clear.
 
What's the size of your sub, in general LxWxH dimensions? I could knock around some ideas to show you before I bring the Hobie hulls up.
