That's awfully interesting. I had not heard that about that model. Would you describe how you discerned that she oil canned? I'm not disputing what you say, I'm just curious how you came to the conclusion.My only concern was that the fwd hull section "oil canned" noticeably making the trip more of an ordeal than we would have preferred.

Tim, ever smash a soda can same thing! Flexing bow to stern!Daniel (Or anybody),
Can you please define "Oil Canning"? I am not familiar with that term.
Because of the way in which these hulls are stiffened (with a pan), access to the hull is limited to areas where thruhulls are located. The obvious place where we all saw the hull repeated deflection was under the fwd head sink where the hull is visible. One of the crew subsequently did some more digging after I left the boat and found other apparent fatigue damage which i won't reiterate further not having seen it personally.That's awfully interesting.

What exactly did you see? Not trying to pick a fight here, at all, but boats rarely, RARELY, oil can along the bottom. Almost uniformly if there's oil canning it's somewhere along the topsides because that's where you have large, flat unsupported sections. Frankly, I've never heard of a boat oil canning below the waterline, but I don't profess to know everything about every boat (far from it).Because of the way in which these hulls are stiffened (with a pan), access to the hull is limited to areas where thruhulls are located.

I am not intending to disparage anything or anyone's choice of boat; just respond objectively...
Why do you say that?? I am actually telling him to go for it....And I would ignore any advice that you might get from Giu. He's nothing but a hairy artist.
I was totally and completely joking. Making a reference and joke about the goings-on at the other site and your artistry there. And obviously, not a very good joke on my part!Why do you say that?? I am actually telling him to go for it....![]()

Daniel,What exactly did you see? Not trying to pick a fight here, at all, but boats rarely, RARELY, oil can along the bottom. Almost uniformly if there's oil canning it's somewhere along the topsides because that's where you have large, flat unsupported sections. Frankly, I've never heard of a boat oil canning below the waterline, but I don't profess to know everything about every boat (far from it).
So with that, it would be great if you could describe precisely what you saw that led you to conclude the hull was oil canning below the forward head sink. It strikes me as an odd place for a hull to oil can, which makes me wonder if you were seeing something else.
Thanks,
Ohh OK, sorry..not myself lately...good joke!!I was totally and completely joking. Making a reference and joke about the goings-on at the other site and your artistry there. And obviously, not a very good joke on my part!
