Re: Modernizing a Prout Elite 37ft

Prouts are more open than the cats you are talking about. Take a lagoon for example. If the galley was down in a hull, you wouldn't be able to see or even talk to someone in the saloon. The hulls are...

Re: Modernizing a Prout Elite 37ft

Well Atoll, I think I've found a Prout almost as good as yours will be.

Far too many images to post here. Here's the broker page.

Re: Modernizing a Prout Elite 37ft

I bought a Vetus KS55Z Black Padded Marine Steering Wheel (550mm) from ASAP after I got out of the marina to find that the previous wheel came off in my hand. It was a bodge job somewhere down the...

Re: Modernizing a Prout Elite 37ft

I just did my 35. Smaller I know, but I bought 7.5l of Seajet and managed to do three coats, 4 in high fouling areas, and still probably had 2l left. Seajet Shogun has a spread of around 8m2 per...

Re: Modernizing a Prout Elite 37ft

Not seen a Prout motorboat before. Doesn't look bad indeed. 🤣

50kg though, sounds heavy. I was expecting half that. Still, I suppose it is robust.

Re: Modernizing a Prout Elite 37ft

This Snowgoose looks reasonably tidy.

But the reason I'm posting it, is that there are a fair few images there...

Re: Modernizing a Prout Elite 37ft

Ah so you're going for a hard top? Curious how that will looks on a Prout with it's curves.

Also curious to see how you deal with the main sheet track and genoa sheets. Those are the two main...

Re: Modernizing a Prout Elite 37ft

Looking good. Certainly going to be the best fitted out Prout of that era. I wish I had to skills to do the same.

Any concern on carrying diesel up front? It's reducing the space of your locker...

Re: Modernizing a Prout Elite 37ft

Sorry Atoll, more on your fuel tank...

Do you have a drain in the cavity that the tank does in? I can't see one on my 35 and the cavity is often 1/5 full of water and crud. Which brings me to my...

Re: Modernizing a Prout Elite 37ft

That's good GPH. I get about 2.5 at 2400-2600RPM. That equates to over six knots in flat calm seas, four beating, and five plus most other times.

I've only got a 100l tank and 40l of cans. Need...

Re: Modernizing a Prout Elite 37ft

What witchcraft is this that allows you to do 5nm per litre or was a joke I missed? And where is your gearbox? You seem to have a lot of space in the engine bay compared to my 35 with a Yanmar 3GM30...
