Book Synopsis American Powerboats: The Great Lakes' Golden Years 1882-1984 by : James P. Barry
Download or read book American Powerboats: The Great Lakes' Golden Years 1882-1984 written by James P. Barry and published by . This book was released on with total page 142 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This look back at the great boatbuilders that sprung up on the shores of the Great Lakes stretches from the first use of internal combustion for marine applications in the late nineteenth century to the early-1960s, when wooden construction was increasingly replaced by fiber-glass and aluminum, and on to the early 1980s. More than covering lovely mahogany runabouts, this work also includes chapters on racers and cruisers/commuters. In addition to familiar names like Chris-Craft, Hacker, Century, and Lyman, there are also less frequently covered boats from names like Richards, Matthews, Burger, and Tiara. The final chapters explore the use of non-wood materials. Detroit was the epicenter of early-20th century boat-makers using engines from the nation's nascent automotive industry. Boat-makers, however, did not cluster as tightly around that city as did auto manufactures; they were found from the Thousand Islands of Lake Ontario to Chicago and Duluth. Despite this regionalism the Great Lakes builders, more than any others, influenced the entire world's power-boating community.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Powerboats with internal combustion engines inspire with their elegant and powerful appearance, genuine engine sound, fascinating drive technology and outstanding performance. Gasoline or glow ignition, 2- or 4-stroke, single- or multi-cylinder engine, monohull, catamaran or hydroplane, strut drive or sterndrive - these and even more options are available for powerboats with internal combustion engines and must be considered before buying such a model. The author, an experienced RC powerboater and initiator of an Internet forum on the subject, knows the most pressing questions of beginners and the solutions and tips of the experts. Illustrated with over 250 pictures and sketches, the book first presents the characteristics of the different hull types, motorizations and drives and provides important decision-making aids for selecting these components. It then describes step by step the construction of a tried-and-tested powerboat model with an internal combustion engine. A separate chapter is devoted to the aspect of operational safety, which is particularly important for such powerful models. Many practical tips support the beginner during the first trips, and a checklist can be used to identify and subsequently eliminate undesirable driving conditions. The practical knowledge imparted in this book enables even the beginner to tune his powerboat optimally and enjoy the full performance of the model. Get started and discover this varied and certainly most exciting way of prototypical ship model building!

Book Synopsis Powerboat Design and Performance by : Dag Pike
Download or read book Powerboat Design and Performance written by Dag Pike and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2019-10-31 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Set to become the bible for powerboat owners and operators for years to come, this long overdue analysis and review of modern powerboat design and operation explores how powerboats have developed, why, and how design impacts on control and performance. Every aspect of the powerboat's design is considered individually and as part of the whole. Different hull designs, including multihull and foiling craft, are assessed for their benefits and drawbacks. Engine types (whether petrol, diesel, electric or hybrid) and their influence on performance are examined and the nature and impact of different propulsion systems and driving controls is also discussed. All factors that influence operation are featured, from how to optimise performance in varied sea conditions, matching speed to sea state, as well as tackling various common and uncommon scenarios (from driving into an inlet to coping with tidal races and harbour manoeuvring) as well as issues relating to crew safety. Dag Pike is the world-renowned guru on powerboats. For this book he has attracted contributions from many of the top international powerboat designers, providing a wealth of expert knowledge and specialist insights about modern powerboats. The sum of their knowhow makes this book a gem of acquired knowledge, and as such will be essential for all powerboat owners, operators and designers, whether in the leisure, commercial or military sector, and it will help ensure all prospective owners get the right boat for their requirements.
