Two boats leave a dock at the same time. Once boat is headed directly east at a constant speed of 35knots, and the other is headed directly south at a constant speed of 22 knots. Express the distance d between the boats as a function of the time t.

I am restoring an ‘89 Galaxie California runabout and cannot find any information on the web regarding this brand of boats.

I would love to know the name of the photograph or where I could purchase it. Any information would be helpful, thanks!

I was thinking about buying a small yacht in the next year and sailing across the pacific with a friend. By default i was just planning to buy it in california and sail west. While tossing the idea around my friend suggested that instead we fly to somewhere in asia and buy a boat there and sail it back. His thinking being that if they are made over there half the price must be transporting it to america!

If we bought it in america and sail it over there, then decided we dont know what to do with it and want to sell it we may not be able to get back even 1/3rd of our investment (supply and demand).

But if we go there first and sail back we might even be able to sell it for more than we paid!

Any ideas, tips or thigns we should look out for?

The boats are in southern Virginia on a farm. What area might be the best place to advertise them?

Or does anyone know how I could find this out?

I want to buy a cheap one and can’t decide if a sunfish or motorboat.

I really want to know & LOVE sailing so i really want to know as much as i can.

is sailing fun….. what are the pros and cons of it… what should i look for when buying one…. and how hard is it to learn

I’m always dreaming up wild ideas, and I had one for a new breed of high performance personal watercraft – the Tube boat. I want to put a V-8 engine into a very stretched Seadoo-type watercraft, and just use a simple propeller shaft off the back of the engine, with maybe a simple clutch mechanism to engage/disengage the power to the shaft.
Anyway, that all said, I know boats use automobile-type engines, but use special water-cooled exhaust manifolds, etc. What other Boaterizing is done to an automobile engine to make it into a “marine” engine? Any special gimmicks to prevent the corrosion of dissimilar metals inside the motor? If I chose to use a straight car engine, with the watercooled boat manifolds, how long would a motor last without any other mods? Obviously a boat style cooling system as well would be installed . So other than radiator, coolant, and exhaust manifolds, what else would normally be changed?
