Thank you! I will drill and tap the hub for a set screw. I did not think about coming in perpendicular to the hub, but it seems obvious now that you pointed it out! I figured there was something I was overlooking. .

Water has a density of 1gm per milliliter meaning 10 ml of water weighs 10gms. Styrene has a specific gravity which is more or less equal to water which is 1.
Weight of hull = weight of water
weight water = volume of water
volume of water = volume of ballast tank.Last edited by redboat219; 01-19-2023, 01:59 AM.Make it simple, make strong, make it work!Comment

Thanks for the reply and the detailed answer.
Maybe i should have written why i am asking.
I know how to determine the volume if i have the model.
But i wanted to do some engineering before ordering the parts and as you already build the boat i thougt you could give an answer like: approx. XX mlComment

My guess was around 100 ml, so i got close to a good number.Last edited by Sodamaexchen; 01-19-2023, 07:44 AM.Comment
