ain't your Papas bass boat

[Duplex Lover]

We started with a 1681 Sea nymph with a 25hp Merc prop.

Took her down to the hull.

and turned it in to a Mad Max Mud boat.




19 gal under deck tank up front.27 hp Mud devil long shaft in the back.
All roller bunk trailer.






And call her the "AQUA COW"

Olly, his nickname needs to be "Master of Disguise".

[Olly]

Haha Troy sure can afford a nice boat.

How fast will the cow chug along with that long tail?

[Duplex Lover]

About 10 mph in deep water and 16 mph in 4" of water with an average load of Decoys and two people

[3legged_lab]

Thats actually not bad for a boat/motor combo of that size.

[Olly]

I have a 25 LT and can do 16mph totally empty and 13 or so loaded down. On a 16ft bass tracker.

[3legged_lab]

I had a 27 fuel injected long tail on my hoss of a boat and could get 16 mph empty in shallow water, and loaded it was usually 10-11 in deep water and 13-14 in the shallows. All of these speeds were gps.

[obxbufflehead]

Can I be in on this or is it long tails only.

[DeadEye_Dan]

I've never operated or been in a boat with a surface drive.

Can someone explain why it's faster in shallow water than deep water?

I think it has something to do with you can't push the water down out of the way (since there is a bottom to stop the downward flow), so the boat rides higher in the water aka less drag, but I'm not a docter.

But I stayed at a holiday inn express.

all boats will run faster in shallower water.

Even my big ass duck boat does.

I must be retarded, because I'm not following.

[DeadEye_Dan]

Never-mind. I went and found some answers.

It really depends on the hull shape more than anything, but I got an explanation as to why mud boats run faster in shallow water.

[Goldfish]

So... what is the reason?

[capt1972]

A pressure wave is generated under the boat when its moving. In shallow water waves get taller because this is the only direction they have to go. This wave raises the boat higher in the water causing less drag on the hull thus allowing the boat to travel faster with the same amount of forward thrust.

[Goldfish]

So what I pulled out of my a... I was pretty close in my description?

Haha, I didn't even see your post. Great minds think alike!

I have one problem whit what you just said. In shallow water haves are not always bigger. In fact, they are usually smaller. If you have a 15mph wind blowing 1 mile over an area that is 5' deep and the same wind blowing 1 mile over an area that is 3"-10" deep, that waves in the 5' area will be much larger because the water has more room to get pushed down and get bigger.

Not wind waves, pressure waves. Think sunami.

Oh ok. I feel like an idiot now.

actually your example explains it also. Where the bigger waves in the deeper water meet the shallow water they will get taller and "break". When they break, they loose their energy. Thats why the waves are shorter in the shallows.

No I was talking about where if the wind started at the same place and(deep and shallow at the same end) and one side of it was deep and the other side was shallow(left and right side) the waves on the deeper side would be bigger.

[capt1972]

Same amount of force applied (wind) will transfer the same amount of energy to the water. In deep water the waves will be taller but further apart. In the shallows the waves will be shorter but closer together. The wind is still moving the same amount of water.
