Cruise Boats Disappearing because of methane deposits? Well i have heard alot lately about many cruise boats dissapering around the area of the bermuda triangle. And I have come to think its because of methane deposits around the coast of islands. Please help me to understand if this is true. Well the methane deposits release huge air bubbles from underneath the sea floor and of course bubbles rise. But All the pressure from the water is on top of the bubble making it to become bigger. Before it reaches the surface these bubbles should be huge because of the amount of air pressure and when they come up they release into the atmosphere. Well if a cruise boat just happens to come along when these bubbles come up then doesnt the cruise boat ride on top of these bubbles then has to fall off the bubble.. my estimate... around 300 feet back onto the water. and thats a large drop for a boat and it causes the boat to spilt and sink. Is this a reason why these cruise boats r dissapearing? Do yall have some other reason why they r gone

Life on U-Boats during WW2? For a school project, I have to create a 'made-up' interview with a U-boat crew member (or any rank, it doesn't really matter) based on information that I have researched. I haven't been succesful in finding much information besides which ships U-boats sunk and etc., and I was wondering if therre were any sites that could point me to how life was on a u-boat, and crew members' experiences, things like that. Thank you in advance to anyone who knows of any information!

Two Boats.? Two boats start moving at the same time from opposite sides of a river. Both at right angles to the parallel shorelines. One boat is faster than the other so they meet 720 yards from the nearest shore. After arriving at their destinations, each boat remains for 10 minutes before starting on the return trip. Once again, each boat is travelling at the same speed as it did before and on this occasion, they meet 400 yards from the other shore. How wide is the river?

Higgins Boats and Machine Guns? Why is it that the Higgins boats used at Normandy on D-day had no way to provide cover for disembarking troops (mounted machine guns, rockets, etc), and opened in the front, exposing the men inside to fire? I've seen that the boats used to cross the Rhine river in Operation Varsity did have at least one kind of mounted machine gun, and opened in the rear of the boat. was it really too hard to slap a few MG's on a landing boat on D-Day?

do you guys think that german u-boats also contributed to the collapse of titanic? i mean, it could really be possible that German U-boats were also responsible for that, don't you think? -German U-boats used to stay down deep the Atlantic as threats for naval vehicles -Titanic sunk down the Atlantic Ocean in 1912 -In 1912, Germans were starting to set up their U-boats -Maybe that German U-boat went away after a time of the collapse of Titanic, which perhaps led it(U-boat) to be unnoticeable. It seems worthless to know, but it opens a door of another possibilty about occurences. Agree?

Noah tell others to build boats but what if they already have boats? What happens? If they have their own boats then why need to build new ones? Since they don't have to have to save animals then their boats don't have to be too big but just enough for their own family members. They would save their father, mother who are old and their babies and kids. Maybe no space for cousins. What if one is too poor to buy tools to cut down wood to build their own boats? Who will help them? Humans loved to worship God or Gods so that means they believe in mighty God all along. I do not believe only Noah's family worship this one God only. There must be more. If not many more then at least 10 families if using statistics. Let's assume the world was covered with water for 40 days, there would still be survivors if people started to see there was a huge flood. Also, those people with boats would have had ropes to climb up to Noah's boat the take over that boat and killed Noah's family in a real situation. As believers say all humans were wicked including disabled, blinded, babies, those who are deaf. God killed them all because they are wicked. The armies who have huge boats should have survived as well and may or could have set fire to Noah's boat as well or climb on to throw Naoh's family over and they all died out. Unless God used his mighty power to destroyed all boats except Noah's. Also, if people saw a flood is coming, they could have used some methods to climb onto Noah's boat to survive. If there are many humans then that would be the case if they see a huge boat around. They are not going to wait too long if Noah did told them the warning of a God's flooding the world.

Bayliner boats? I've heard mixed reviews about Bayliner boats. Looking at a 2007-2008 Bayliner 175 or 185 runabout or ski/fish. For around 13,600 new for the 175, it seems like a great deal! So what is the truth? Is Bayliner really the bottom of the quality list? What makes a new Bayliner so much cheaper than any other boat?

Sylvan boats? Does anyone know anything about the 2002 Sylvan 186 Fish and Ski? I was wondering if it converts into a fishing boat (do the front bow seats change to a fishing platform?

The goal is for one person to get all four boats to the other side in the least amount of time? The only way to get from one side of the lake to the other is by driving the boats. Each boat can be driven across the lake individually or towing another boat. Towing more than one boat at a time is not allowed. If a boat is towed, the time to cross the lake is determined by the speed of the slowest boat. For example, if the red boat (2min) tows the green boat (7 min) it will take 7 mins to cross the lake. 4 boats are: Red 2 mins Blue boat 3 mins Green boat 7 mins Yellow boat 10 mins The answer is 21 minutes to cross. How did they do it?

In terms of boats, what is the difference between diesel and gasoline engines? I was considering buying a boat. Something like a 23 footer. I wanted to know the difference between a diesel and gasoline engine in regards to efficiency, ease of maintenance, etc... Also, I am fairly new to boats. I have ridden and driven them before, but they were not mine. Is there anything I should look for when buying the boat? I don't want to buy a boat and then say "oh crap" because the boat doesn't have the feature I found out it needed. Which brand is good too? I was looking at the Bayliner 237. I read one review about the 5 liter mercruiser Alpha I engine and people were saying it was bad. What do you think? I forgot to mention that I live in Dubai and the weather is hot year-round.

Options for shipping large boats overseas? I am interested in shipping a boat from Maryland to a country in Europe. The problem is that it is too large to fit in the standard 40' (or 80') container because it is too wide. Does anyone has experience transporting boats without the use of a container? I am willing to travel to a different port on the East coast if it is needed. If you could provide rough price figures or point me in the right direction where I should look it would be appreciated. Please refrain from the legal side of shipping as I am fully aware of that angle. Thank you, Artem
