Replacement capacity plate I got - Ohio Watercraft Divison said it was fine to use a replacement capacity plate if it had the same numbers and info.
In the Nyitra thread, a third 20ft 19inch diameter pontoon will be added from a loaner scrap vessel I got.
Code: Select all
pi=3.14159
r=19/2/12 - 19" dived by 2 for radius divided by 12 to get feet
r=.7916666666
h1=24 - 24' pontoon
v1=pi*r*r*h - Volume Calculation
v1=47.2547495736
v1*2 - Times 2 for 2 24' pontoons
v1=94.5094991472
h2=20 - Center 20' pontoon
v2=pi*r*r*h - Volume Calculation
v2=39.3789579780
vall= v1 + v1 + v2 - Add Volumes
vall=47.2547495736 + 47.2547495736 + 39.3789579780
vall=133.8884571252
buoyantweight = 133.8884571252* 62.4
buoyantweight = 8354.6397246124
bouyantweighthalffloating = 8354.6397246124/2 - Half Submerged, Divide by 2
bouyantweighthalffloating = 4177.319862306
So now I have roughly 3000 lbs? Is this calculation correct?

Deck is 3/4" new Marine Plywood. A/B grade. I'm used Blue Water Alkyd Primer paint. And Blue Water Alkyd Royal Blue Paint.
I like how it says, "Not for sale or use by the General Public!"
