What factor should be considered in determining safe boat speed?
the state of visibility
What must be taken into consideration when determining a safe speed on a boat?
The wind speed and the wave height are two things that must be taken into consideration when determining a safe speed for a boat.
What factors should be considered in determining safe speed in a boat?
the state of visibility
Which is the following must be taken into consideration when determining a safe speed?
The volume of boat traffic
What is a good anchor for recreational boat?
A Danforth style (one manufacture is Fortress) or a simple mushroom anchor. The bottom terrain is also an important factor in determining the proper anchor.
What factor determines safe boat speed?
Hazards in the water.
What should be taken into consideration when determining a safe boat speed?
Local conditions, legislation, your skill.
Which must be taken into consideration when determining a safe speed?
1) know the speed limit 2) Assess the conditions
How does the shape of a boat's hull affect the speed?
How does hull shape affect the speed of a boat? When trying to get the most speed out of your boat, you may want to consider how the hull shape affects the speed of the boat. "Hydrodynamic" is a term that is used when determining the motion or flow of water. It is similar to the more familiar term "aerodynamic," which relates to the flow of air. The speed of a boat is correlated to its hydrodynamic efficiency, and the hydrodynamic efficiency is determined by the shape of the hull of the boat. The hull of the boat is the first area to be hit by water as you speed forward. A round or square hull will connect with the water like a force that is pushing against it. As the force of the water hits the boat hull straight on, the boat must push the water out of the way before it can attain optimal speed. This limitation of the boat's ability to get to a higher speed quickly is known as drag, and is affected by the hull shape. A boat hull shape that is pointed allows the water to flow around the boat quickly. The less water that the hull needs to move out of the way, the faster the boat will go. How hull shape affects the speed of a boat is one factor that the military had taken into consideration when they started to build the V-shape hull design. This shape offers the most hydrodynamic efficiency, which gives the military a boat that can cut across water with little drag and perform well at high speeds.
Why is a speed boat fast?
because the name speed boat means its a fast boat why else would it be called a speed boat
How long will it take for a speed boat to go all around the world?
It depends on may factor such as the speed, resistance (wind, current), and route. So there can be no precise answer
How many people will a 20 ft pontoon boat hold?
This depends on the boat itself, length alone is not the determining factor. Every boat should have a specification plate on the right side of the transom (the rear board of the boat that the motor or sterndrive is attached to). This plate gives the model and serial number of the boat. It also included the maximum number of people or maximum weight of people and gear. It is important to respect the max weight for the stability of the boat at all speeds.
