Hi Jim: Thank you for this article and the work you put into developing it. The outboard shop I anticipate buying my new motor from says he won't receive the shipment from Tohatsu until April or May so I have time to do my due diligence. My decision to go from displacement sailboats to power boats w...

Once the boatspeed reaches hydroplane I don't want to go any faster than 30-MPH. I intend to weigh the hull. The Menemsha has more weight...

Hello. I am a new member of the Boston Whaler family. I am the proud owner of a Menemsha. 00a0a_hzQwUb5wYvRz_1320MM_1200x900.jpg She is rough looking but has a solid hull and a good engine. I began removing a couple of layers of pealing paint and will be replacing the woodwork over the long cold and...
