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.

From: "akflyer" 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. -------- Leonard Perry Soldotna AK Avid "C" / Mk IV 582 IVO IFA Full Lotus 1260 95% complete Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=137143#137143 ________________________________ Message 3 _____________________________________ Time: 12:13:21 PM PST US From: "Noel Loveys" Subject: RE: Kitfox-List: Re: aquamaster floats ??? 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.
