hull extension

[mike-stgt]

Does someone has experience with a hull extension? I am thinking about
a 20 centimeter extension at the transom with a center cutout for the outboard. Theoretical it must have more stability and should be faster,.

It may cause quite alot of problems when reversing, and I think you'd find the seariders hull to be good enough as it is.

Easiest way is buy a bigger boat

I would suggest to add a 10" bracket, made by Stainless Marine-USA for instance.
They have other lengths too, shorter and longer.
Works perfectly, and nothing to change to your present transom

Mike, just fix your transom and try the boat out 1st!

Hi there .
Thanks for the info. To the Searider owners. Is it better to close the flooding hull ,or is it a must for this RIB?

I prefer it blocked on the 5.4-unless you're going to do a lot of sitting around being a safety boat. It's a bit more stable at rest then.

Try a POD and go out a bit further.

Hi NOS, is your hull closed?
I ride with it mostly in the mediterran sea and the adria. So the water isn`t rough, like in the nort sea.
Is it so unstable with the hull closed ?
While i am makong a new transom , it would be a clean job to close it.
And also a closed volume 0f 350 litres of air. Even there would be space to
have 2 build in tanks in the front.

I have no experience with this hull, so i prefere the advice from Searider owners more than from this kind of teachers in the net.
