Hi Doug,

Wow, that is a project with much work. Here is a link with pictures. This is the behavior I would try. http://aw-marine.com/tag/boot-drehen/ At the floor old tires and then so as Mark say, carefully and bit by bit with long hoisting slings and a crane. Good luck and thanks for the picture of your ja...

This year I finished the renovation of my volga so far that I could drive it first time after three years of renovation. I build an open boat with the cockpit in rear of the cabin. The original engine was not in the boat when I bought the hull. So I had the possibility to install an inboard again or...

Hi Doug, why do you want to turn it? As I painted my boat last christmas I took europallets under the foils. So I could work anywhere at the boat and I only had to use a pallet truck and two racks with flooring sleepers. Otherwise, if you realy need to turn the boat buttom up it is possible to do it...

Oh thank you, that hoisting point is removed by former owners. The iron sheet around is very rusty and I think because of that they removed it. My plan is, to screw to anchor plates (200mm x 200mm) at the bulkhead wtih M12 screws and in the middle of the plates I will attach one of the hoisting poin...

Hi there, may anyone post pictures here, how the hoisting point in the front of the boat is build? In the documentations of the volga 70, there is only the small passage, to use the hoisting ropes, which are delivered with the boat. In Fig. 2 of the manual is shown the eye-bolt between bulkhead 5 an...

Hi Janis, Unfortunatly I am not in the country. I think you mean the Düsseldorf boat show. As I know from last year there is only a small part where are restauration companies. The better exhibition for reift with a greater Part for oldtimers is the Berlin boat show in November. Have nice days at th...

Hi,
Are you shure you have Production number 1?
I am told, the number you can find on the rear wing, on the right side of the middle Support. There it should be stamped.

Good luck with the boat.

thank you for the link. I already studied that side and there are so many interesting tips. I think the data in the paper regards to the angle of the wings against the baseline. Or did I read it in wrong way? I need the sweep back of the wings. Meanwhile I borrowed an instrument from a friend. The a...

Hi, now I can show the actual state of my project. I bought my boat two years ago und worked on it to build it in a new shape. I hope this year I´ll be ready to ride. This is the boat two years ago. IMG_4851 - Kopie.JPG And this is it now. Okay there is something to work on it, but i think it will l...

Hi, trank you for the advice. I'll try to take the engine as deep, so that I have the 18cm under the center of the foil. I will Post the result of it is possoble. Trank you.

Hi, I don´t know if the thread is right in this section. But i think the Z-drive is part of power transmission section. I don´t find any information about the depth of the drive. How depp is the drive under water. I need this, because I have to adjust my outboard engine and i think the underwater pa...

Hi togehter, does anyone have the exact measurements of the front wing? Espacially I need the angle of the foils, how much is the angle of the sweepback and how much is the angle of the sweep from buttom up? Yes I could measure it by myself, but I have no exact instruments. So if anyone has advice o...
