Steve, part of what's impressive to me about the x-series is the weight of the hulls. How do you achieve this, through less freeboard, thinner fiberglass or both?

Neither. It's the high tech composites used to build FRP (Fiber reinforced plastic) boats these days that trims down the hull weight. There are 13 layers of laminate in the running bottom of that ride, and the entire transom is also composite. Trims a BUNCH of weight.
I'll rephrase this question. What about the hull design makes the x-190 lighter than the shorter/narrower 1760?
I assume each boat is built with the same/similar materials so there has to be something in the hull design that makes a 19'4"/90" boat lighter than a 17'6"/84" boat. |
