Boat

Even an ill wind blows some good, it seems. Perhaps having a solar powered boat is less wacko than it might have seemed before you got Moses' flood dropped on ya.

... and I think you can look forward to conducting various tests of a multitude of design ideas. I sure hope I can look forward to your posts about them =)

Edit: errr, I suspect I meant Noah. =p

I'll blog about them.
feedback is appreciated.

I am excited at the prospect. There's little I enjoy more than tinkering and testing, and then enjoying the fruits of experiment.

Balaklava may be the only thing.

but wait..! There's MORE...I just discovered AIR-CRETE!!

Concrete made with vermiculite? Not very heavy, which is why it's useful. Ballast may not be one of it's most applicable uses.

the factory version


another factory version.

high tech version.

While it is certainly conformable, and pretty strong, it doesn't weigh much, and wouldn't make good ballast. It would strengthen the hull much, though, and could be a good choice (depending on how it reacts to water, of course) as replacement for the sodden foam you are removing.

so many options....
lucky me I have quite some time to think on it before I need to decide
I wonder how an underfloor, foam embedded water tank would work?
Water is pretty heavy. Centerlined it'd act as ballast. When trailering (out of the water) less weight is a plus...drain the tanks.

Superlative!
