点评:We got the tritoon for a full day. Been boating for 20+ years on Bogue Sound for reference.
Family seemed ok with the rental, but i am disappointed and will not be using them again.
Why:
Both anchors had several immense Gordonian Knots in them that made them be ~10 ft long rather than their true length of perhaps ~50ft, Not possible to untangle nor even anchor and fish unless you were cast netting. Barely held us once at the beach. Numerous resets due to super-short scope pulling out repeatedly even though we were between Carrot and Sandollar islands with insignificant currents.
Top speed was 15 mph with me & 2 teens and nothing else. Once we put 2 more adults and a cooler, chairs, etc. Top speed was 12 mph. Even though it had a 140hp engine. All 3 pontoons were heavily encrusted with barnacles, likely influencing the drag.
Fuel tank is maybe 20 gals. Totally insufficient for a full day, we were at a quarter tank before noon and so we just eddy’d out at Carrot island rather than attempt a crossing to Shackleford and run out in the inlet/port on the way back.
翻译:我们租了这艘三体船玩了一整天。我本人在博格湾(Bogue Sound)划船20多年,算是个参考。
家人似乎对租船还算满意,但我很失望,以后不会再租了。
原因:
两个锚上都有几个巨大的戈登氏结,导致它们的长度只有大约10英尺(约3米),而不是它们实际长度大约50英尺(约15米)。除非用撒网捕鱼,否则根本无法解开,甚至无法抛锚捕鱼。在海滩边,我们差点没能稳住。由于船镜太短,我们反复拉出,不得不多次重置,尽管我们当时在胡萝卜岛(Carrot Island)和桑多拉岛(Sandollar Island)之间,水流不大。
最高时速只有15英里(约24公里),当时我和两个十几岁的孩子都载着,其他什么也没有。有一次,我们又放了两个成年人、一个冷藏箱、椅子等等。最高时速只有12英里(约20公里),尽管它有一台140马力的发动机。三个浮筒上都粘满了藤壶,很可能影响了拖拽力。
油箱大概只有20加仑。完全不够用一整天,中午之前油箱只剩下四分之一了,所以我们干脆在胡萝卜岛绕圈航行,而不是试图横渡到沙克尔福德,然后在回程时在入口/港口用完油。
