JB we are getting into the time where the board topics will pick up fast.<br /><br />I am just requesting that you include the formula and topic of speed calculation into the FAQ as discussed in this link.<br /><br /> http://www.iboats.com/cgi-bin/ubb/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic;f=1;t=009536#000000 <br /><br />The excel format was great too!<br /><br />Thanks,<br />Bob

Re: JB

The boards have picked up a lot already, Bob.<br /><br />Would you be interested in assembling the various formulae, including the Exel format and the slip calculations into one concise post for us to transfer? <br /><br />You could put it in the Boat forum, where I will move this.<br /><br />I am sure DHadley and the other contributors wouldn't object and I certainly wouldn't. <br /><br />Thanks for your interest.

Re: JB

Just post it right here - JB has the "power" to put into any section. That would be a great help to most of the people who do an annual search for it.<br /><br />Thanks,<br />Bob

Re: JB

Bob,<br /><br />I am confused. Yes, I have a formula, but only for the final cell (speed calc). It isn't worth much if you don't plug in the other numbers into the same exact cell addy's that I used . . .<br /><br />=SQRT(B1/B2)*B3

Re: JB

I just figured out that I can use it like a scale. Ya know to weigh my boat. Just keep changing the weight until you get the speed that your boat goes. Hmmmm . . . . If I knew the weight I could verify my hp. I know, it's a poor mans dyno . . .
