Pleasure boats hulls suffer from drag issues, though not solved using hydrogen, it helps.


Pleasure boats come in all shapes and sizes; from 12 foot outboard skiffs to huge ocean going yachts with helicopter landing pads. To one degree or another, all have one common attribute, a hull. And thereon lies the (common) problem.

The hull’s performance of all pleasure boats, unfortunately is susceptible to all kinds of water drag. Its design (shape), the amount of marine growth on it, the paint some one used, its factory finish, it hull-weight, its displacement, not to mention the wind, current, waves, temperature, etc, etc, and a thousand others.

All of these can and do contribute to reducing the boats performance and fuel economy. The result is always realized in higher fuel expenditures to a degree and the dreaded - spending (more) time at the fuel dock.

No, this is not a Ten Secrets to Reduce Your Boat’s Fuel Consumption, with neat ideas and tricks to make it go faster, while burning less fuel. But it will provide useful information about a recent technology - Hydrogen boost.

Pleasure craft will always face unknowns, strong opposing currents, winds, waves, so even if your boat’s hull is top of the line, technologically state of the art, fuel economy is still a stand alone issue that’s subject to improvement.

So, whether your pleasure boat is a classy sail boat with a small diesel, a speed boat with triple outboards, a slick gasoline powered cabin cruiser, or a huge diesel powered yacht, I’m sure - the amount of fuel it consumes is an important issue - right!

Now, no serious mariner wants to spend any more time sitting at a fuel dock than necessary. The good news is; there are ways to reduce fuel costs even if a major hull overhaul isn’t possible. However, technology has been developed to answer this issue utilizing hydrogen.

Using a hydrogen boost to enhance fuel combustion, thereby increasing fuel efficiency, and reducing emissions, is a tested proven technology. Remember, you can increase your boat’s horsepower by enhancing and accelerating the combustion process. This means under the full load at the propeller.

To understand the how’s and why’s of hydrogen as it relates to marine engine, is easy. And as far as a hydrogen molecule is concerned, well take a look at what happens inside a diesel engine with hydrogen added. Or inside of a gasoline engine with hydrogen added.

Remember, the inside of the combustion chamber in a pleasure craft is no different than that of a Big Trucks, the The Family Car, or Heavy Construction Equipment.

To get more information on what hydrogen is really capable of, go to Hydrogen Energy.

That tiny hydrogen molecule and zillions of its family, will make short work of ordinary fuel in the charged chamber's combustion - you'll be amazed.

After all, shouldn’t you spend less at the fuel dock, and enjoy more time on the water with your pride-n-joy?

Happily, Pleasure Boats can be an enjoyable memory making vessel, or, unfortunately, a money hole, i.e. headache....?
