The best thing about max range contain type old tech NOW mini-s buss is when u need to evacuate mass of ppl in a hurry b4 storm hits. The 1 time per month run jumps up to 1 time per week run b4 storm comes thru, or even 6 runs in month type hurry storm surging the ferry run.

I will build lots of bridges too but huge cost & time factor, & some places will never b connected by anything other than air new-tech coming & ferries. Airships will dramatically change & mass produce bridge work but some places u just can't float a bridge. Clean burn tech & dirt cheap fuel will make ferries man's god- like connection drive over water.

811 miles & 2 hr 2 mins by plane major hub travel, only if talking commercial shipping 1 time per week or month a mini ferry 4 drive lines & 10 mini-s max range can do it at 55 ish mph soon in 15hrs. It only makes logical since to run route 1 time per month shipping not ferry type run, but tech is same except for fuel capacity range. It's more in range of container buss & could go either way coin flip.

3 or 4 engines under full load running normal 100miles+ ferry range not 1000miles means max out load carrying buoyancy. The arm connection & closed cabin & max loading least drag hull design. 3per=6 mini-s 50ish =/- ft, small ferry run, or 8 mini-s med ferry run, or 5per=10 mini-s per Seattle ferry run.

how much range
@jamesmerkel94423 жыл бұрын
Smaller ferry only 2 lines of cars very limited use. The Med best design has 3lines of cars truck & semi-s only down middle, w/large ferry hving 4 lines, semi-s only on middle lanes. Wt rages 275-300 ft long ferry were 250,000 lbs to 1 million lbs ideal sweet spot ferry range running 3 lines kind of idea.

Why would you want that? 7 Marine 627’s weigh an ungodly 1094 lbs each (1.75 lbs per HP), which is why you NEVER see them on the high speed outboards doing the poker runs.

I only need 3 or 4 engines per mini so they don't hve to b V12 engine each of 3 or 4, just liked the design of new V!2, but cost efficiencies & easy of service & max power for wt at lowest operating cost will determine what engine ferries use not sexist motor & under full load not fishing load.

@steveantson96084 жыл бұрын
Viking has lost a huge chunk of market share to Cats and CC's. So much so that they created Valhalla CC which are way over priced for what they offer. I'm sure you'll still have the die hard Viking guys that Valhalla but I think the market is moving to the Cat and CC companies that grabbed the market share early.
