Is this a good ship for people who have been sailing 32"-40" long war ships?

Don't buy it! It is garbage, and they do not stand behind their product!!! You will regret buying it.

Hi Nick...as far as I can remember, they are....nice boat, but the oars could stand to be a bit longer...

I'm sure the boat would be fine, but the oars are another issue. They are cheaply made so I would be sure to get longer/better quality oars for the trip. Have fun!

Absolutely. The deluxe seats offer better support and comfort, which is very important. I am glad I made the right choice. If you want to seat comfortably, go for the SE 370, which has a longer hull. The SE 330 is simply too tight even for 2 adults of 5'6". Hope you won't make the same mistake as I .

They are a little small for a 65 if you are going to be keeping SPS or LPS corals. If just softies, you may be good, but I would go a bit bigger unless you are putting several of the Hydros in there. Say 2 on each side and possibly 2 on the back. I know they are a bit more expressive, but if you are trying to save money go with the jabos, or if you are willing to invest, I cannot stress enough, tons tons tons better, the Vortechs. I use Vortechs 2 MP40 controlled with my apex; I know they are very expressive but they are worth every penny in comparison, especially if you have the apex controller with the wxm. This is how I have mine set up and the difference is night and day. I went from the large jabos to two Vortechs. My corals responded almost instantly. They love them. The Jabos push the water hard while the Vortechs create an undertow and are gentle so you don't blast you corals. This allows for less trash from settling on the sand bed. I can tell the most when feeding; the food never touches the sand bed, it stays floating the whole time and that is without using the feed mode. They all work different and it is to much to get into, but if you are going to build a reef tank you want to go as natural as possible and the Vortechs are the only way to go IMHO. You can sometimes find them for a good price used on ebay, and remember all ecotech equipment are able to be upgraded with a simple plug and play. 1 MP40 should do you for now and just add another later as a slave and run it at a max of 75%. If you need additional info I am happy to help.

Hello Well, my husband and I both squeezed onto the float together for a picture. We were a bit wide for the float, but it worked. And it held our combined 420 lbs. with no problem. Very seaworthy. Just an FYI:when on the float, you sit very much above the water. No part of me gets wet unless I splash myself or get splashed. I'm 5'9" and it's plenty long. Hope this helps.

No. Get a short shaft engine and use a 4 blade prop for such a short boat, or a double-cupped stainless prop. I ran a 60 on my 13 foot Whaler with the SS double-cupped prop and it was great. A long shaft motor will just not be lifted high enough, unless you mount the mini jacker top edge above the transom edge which not only looks crappy it is less secure, and if you even hydraulically jack plated it you'd make the rig less stable raising the weight in the rear that high. Remember an 11 ft. boat going about 20+ is not very stable to begin with. Wrong approach in my opinion--sorry. And I'm a bit of a daredevil in some things. Good luck.

I don't think so. It's smaller than the traditional dreadnought. Personally I think it's a good starter for beginners of acoustic guitar. Sounds well, plays well and a decent price for its quality. Best thing to do though is to try it out to satisfy your curiosity. Any other questions, Ill be happy to help.

Yes. Its a awesome boat. 35mph out the box. biy 2extra battery s for $20 each and you have an hour of fun. The supplied charger take s 3 hr. You can get a charger from ho bytown for $40 that will charge in 40 min.

I'm 5'2" 125# this is an excellent board for me. I've only fallen once, and have used it for three eight mile float trips, and lots of shorter trips on the milder portions of the Colorado River (Parker Strip). It weighs 50# but after a month of using it, I can pick it up and carry it upstairs by myself. I am 61 years old. I'm guessing your wife will love it.

The boat is unbelievably stable- rough water- not an issue, the danger (to this boat) is up near the bank, rocks and other "sharps".... Fishing hooks as well. Rough water, it will handle it fine. For big water I would go 55ln MinnKota with biggest battery you can find, or. 3.5 horse Tohatsu outboard. Don't beach this boat, get out knee. High water and walk it in- I'm warning you... Otherwise its bulletproof...

I bought the 16inch mainly because I needed a smaller footprint and I use it for my ship modeling projects. There are other makes that are smaller but I preferred the quality of the Excalibur and the excellent reviews on it I found on YouTube.

That's exactly why I bought this board. After a year of college, I'd say it's OK for everyday use. It has good wheels and bearings so you don't have to push as much as most similar sized skateboards. However, it's thick wooden deck and length make it annoying to carry after a while. Also, it's a pintail cruiser, so it's turning radius kinda sucks. As far as longboards go, it's nice. If you do buy it and plan on using a lot or for bombing hills, I recommend installing bigger wheels and risers(not necessary though, comes with decent hardware).

Hi, I'm in my late fifties, 5'6 and about 120. I can carry this just fine. Only issue is the length, which is awkward for me. It's a fun board, and very stable, not very quick to maneuver, ok for our twisty slow river.

Yes! I'm a 105lb girl and for the price it's pretty good. But if you want an actual "cruising" board, you might need to pick up some new gel/rubber wheels so you don't have to constantly kick every second and loosening the board is better for turns.

It all depends on ur patience and ur eye for detail. if u have a lot of patience and an exellent eye for detail then you would want to go for a larger model like a 1/350th scale TITANIC or something like that. since this model is very easy I would Highly reccommend it for a beginner.
