| Subject: | Re: aquamaster floats ??? |
With that tunnel design I can see where they may be very efficient. I would
like to try a set before purchasing though. Like tunnel boats they may not
be able to take too rough water but on reasonably calm water I can see how
you could be off very fast. On rougher water they could transmit a lot of
pounding to the airframe.

my thoughts exactly... They are only 12' long, but look to be pretty wide so hopefully
they will have enough buoyancy..I will carefully fill them with water
and measure it out so I can figure out displacement.

Bum a set of scales form a transport co. for an hour or two... Or even
weigh scales on the highway.
Weigh a float or a float on a trailer empty then fill to the "appropriate
level" of water and weigh again. The difference in the weight will be your
displacement. Around here the portable scales the highways department
carries for highway spot checks are more than accurate enough to read your
displacement within three or four pounds. Weighing a float can break up a
day for the inspectors.... Remember to pump the water out before carrying on
the highway though.
