re: The Great Outdoors and FISTFIGHTS.......(inspired by boat launch thread)

i'm too fearful of fricking up my own boat or hurting someone else by passing right on top of someone, some ppl arent like this
if i'm out joyriding and fishing around, i usually take it pretty easy and am courteous to everyone
if i'm fishing a tournament and you're canal isn't posted with a no-wake zone or speed limit, you can be "mad angry man" on the dock all you want...deal with it
pretty much where i stand

Well then, I'll throw in a CSB
Worse wake I ever endured was a big square front work barge or something going down blind river at WOT, like 25 mph or so. We could see the wake coming, jumped down into the bottom of the boat and still almost got thrown out. It was like the water underneath would just disappear and we would fall 2-3 feet.

Yes you do. It just dies out very quickly. There's equations for this shite 
Once you're on plane in the average bass boat, you're on the pad from that speed to 75
Mph and the amount of boat in the water doesnt change as much as your speed does. The wake gets larger as you speed up. It also becomes narrower and dies out quicker.

Yea I agree with that. If you're not in a no wake zone, build your shite to compensate for wake.

I think you mad all those ski boats keep rolling through when you're trying to fish

quote:The Red has a good bit of tug traffic. When those first appeared, I was not used to their wake. Not the usual side wake, but the rear one. That wave flows back from the boat and is almost impossible to see.
Worse wake I ever endured
In a tourney flying. See wave about 20 yards before impact. Hit it and I hear prop. Thank God we landed flat. Would love to know how much air we caught.

It's all about the amount of water being displaced by the boat (ignoring idle speeds)

Nah, I admittedly know very little about that story. I assumed, as has been my experience in the past, that the tournament guys were tearing through the canal like it was some sort of closed racing circuit. Boats don't have all of the safety equipment that cars do, so they should not be treated like cars.

Plus, a large portion of the drag is due to the motor cross section.

Ski boats and bass boats have entirely different hull geometries and motor designs, so the comparison is not very good.
Posted on 4/26/12 at 10:30 am to AlxTgr
The flow around the hull is more turbulent and therefor he wake is larger. I think yall are thinking of it as just the height of the wave you make. How long it is and how far it travels before it is damped out are also parts of it.
Either i am right or my heat transfer professor is wrong.

This may be slightly misleading. Think of a golf ball. The turbulent boundary provides a more stable wave and reduced drag profile. There is no simple solution, but to say that faster produces a "smaller" wake flies in the face of known science.

back on topic: E. TX has a fella walk down with a shotgun telling us we could fish his dock.
Quickly apologized and moved on to the next dock. Can't argue with someone like that. Idiot.

That's not the issue, the issue is that as a boat goes faster less of the boat is in the water to create a wake.
