One last comment on your above usage. I don't know if Sea Rays are immune from hull "hook" which can occur on trailered boats that don't have the bunks past the transom during periods of on trailer storage. "Hook" is when the hull just in front of the transom can get a bow in it and add a...
I posted to give reference to where tandem axles were located roughly on a similar boat. The trailers are totally different as far as bunks and how they are positioned but the weight in relation to the axles should be similar. As Lazy Daze mentioned there seems to be more room to move forward...
i've had the Garboard drain let water in when it was slipped. Next time your boat is out of the water you may want to remove and reseal it with tape or dope. Just a thought.

this service bulletin offers up three possible replacements for bad fuel pumps if you haven't found something yet.
Considering the amount of storage space on our 250DA (or lack of) i have a pair of Kermitt chairs from my days on 2 wheels. They breakdown into 22"x6" bag, but are quite comfortable for lounging. Mostly Oak, but come in some other hard woods. Styled like a Directors chair I would say.
I to just added a garmin to my 250 da. I found the 73sv on sale for $499 regularly 799. It does allow for the fish finder transducer to be used if you were so inclined. Difference between 94 and 73 is screen size only I believe but the 73 is on sale still.
Well, how embarrassing. I took a day to get out from under my rock and read some of the posts I made. Man I was really hung up on those wheels turning. What's sad is I know better or did at one time. I spent 10 years back in the 70's and 80's working on the flight controls and landing gear of...
I believe I have I've seen the error in my thoughts and stand corrected. I was hung up on the wheel touching the ground as some of you have explained. Over and out.
Are you implying that the wheels speed is irrelevant to the aircrafts movement. Not possible. The main thing to overcome with flight here is gravity which in fixed wing craft requires ground speed to get air flow over the wings correct? Your implying that the plane is some how able to move on...
I hope everyone was able to get out on the water and enjoy the 4th.
Again, the replies do not follow the one rule applied by the word problem.
The wheels can not rotate faster than the surface they are touching. Not one of the examples used stays with in the proposed parameters. The physical...
Your help full analogy of the rope and no thrust from the engines is visually intriguing, but in your verbal description when you add engine thrust you say that the rope will become slack witch means in order for that to take place the wheels would have to be moving faster than the conveyor...
The physics of this is established, winged flight requires lift, wings create lift by moving at an appropriate speed thru the air to overcome gravity and friction. Propellers and jet engines do not create lift, but thrust which moves the plane forward once a ground speed appropriate for the size...
I just read through this string and see that the group has put it to bed, just wanted to say that early on it was proved that the plane would not only not takeoff but it would not move at all from its location. As stated by one early on, if the conveyor started slowly to move towards the rear of...
