Overview Reviews Details Accessories Articles & Videos by Steve Kindig A top choice for picture quality fanatics For the last two years, Samsung has built a flagship series of LCD TVs with a wildly different cosmetic design, as well as a series with nearly identical performance and features, but a more conventional look and a lower price tag. For 2013, the "conventional" design is Samsung's F7500 series. It's an opportunity to get state-of-the-art picture quality while saving a few hundred bucks compared to the flagship models. The UN55F7500's LED backlight employs Samsung's Micro Dimming Pro technology to produce a more accurate picture. The TV divides the image into multiple areas and applies the correct contrast levels to each area. The edge-mounted LEDs can actually dim independently based on the content in each scene. Expect the spectacular — in 2D or 3D The F7500 series delivers a spectacular picture in 2D or 3D. Just slip on a pair of the included glasses to enjoy a deeper view, and not just with true 3D video sources — switch on the TV's 2D-to-3D conversion for added depth with regular 2D video. And even if 3D doesn't appeal to you right now, this set still deserves consideration if picture quality is your number one priority. It's that good. One of the first Smart TVs with a quad-core processor The UN55F7500 is one of Samsung's smartest Smart TVs ever thanks to a 1.35GHz quad-core processor. That's more horsepower than most tablets have. Besides surfing the web you can do things like multitask or use one app while downloading another. Whether your connection is wired or wireless, you can do a quick web search while you watch movies and TV shows, and enjoy TV while you chat with friends and family online. Along with built-in apps for services like Netflix®, Hulu Plus™, and YouTube™, you can download new ones from Samsung's large selection of apps. Samsung's Galaxy phones and tablets add handheld viewing and control Samsung's AllShare™ Play lets you wirelessly access and stream content from any compatible device. If you have a Galaxy S3 smartphone or Galaxy tablet, you can share movies, photos, and music via the UN55F7500. Your Wi-Fi® network lets you do things like toss photos from your phone or tablet to the screen with the swipe of a finger. Or push streaming video like Netflix movies from device to screen. Sending content from your phone to your TV is cool, and going TV-to-phone is even cooler. Just download Samsung's free Smart View app and use the TV View feature to mirror whatever's on the UN55F7500's screen on your Galaxy S3 or newer phone or Galaxy tablet. You can leave the room anytime without leaving your entertainment behind. Think of it as whole-house television you hold in your hand.

Crutchfield had the best price and with their superb reputation it was a no brainer. Picture is outstanding and the set looks pretty even when it's off. Installation was simple, just plug the power cable in last and the TV does the rest. I got my PC hooked up to it so I don't use the aps. Nice upgrade to my 3 year old non 3D 55 inch LED TV made by another popular manufacturer. Lovin it! Pros: Vibrant colors Cons: Should probably get it calibrated. Was this review helpful? Yes No Excellent TV! Written By JayG, Alexandria, VA on Monday, August 11, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I bought this as a second TV in for our family room. The room has a lot of natural light. This TV can be very bright, has deep blacks, and a very crisp clear picture. As with all Samsung's, there are plenty of options to adjust the picture as you see fit. It's also one of the better sounding TV's I've heard. The Smart TV app's are pretty fast, especially Amazon Instant Video. I highly recommend this set if you are looking for a reasonably priced mid-sized TV. Pros: Excellent picture and deep blacks. Great in bright or dark rooms. SmartTV works very well and is faster than any other Samsung TV's I've had. Cons: Motion control is pretty useless. The remote that's included is not my favorite but I use a Logitech universal remote anyway. Was this review helpful? Yes No Great TV Written By M, Worcester, MA on Saturday, March 15, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Great TV. Fantastic Picture and easy to set up. I was initially looking at the 8000 series but decided on this one a little less expensive and the few changes in the 8000 series over this 7500 series are something I nor average to even higher end user may not see any difference. I'm very happy I choose this one. The voice control and hand motion control is OK. Not sure how much I will use it but kids like being able to talk to TV. Still easier and faster to use remote to change channels and TV functions. Camera is nice to have for Skype calls. I also like how it can access my amazon prime movies to play right on TV. Pros: Great picture. Cons: Renotre is not bad but buttons could be easier to press. 2 out of 2 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Pretty Amazing Written By YourLocalAdvisor, Brookeville MD on Monday, February 03, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) We got this at an outlet price and have loved it ever since we got it. We had a 1080p HDTV from JVC that we thought we loved until we got this one. The picture is so much more clear and brilliant. It was like seeing HDTV for the first time all over again. But it also tried to do too much. It is nice, but sometimes I really just want to watch TV and not deal with everything. Pros: Picture abilities, TV Frame size (meaning that it is thin and good looking), weight, camera, internet access, Skype motion footage, apps, no obvious SAMSUNG logo like Vizio does. YouTube access is great and can be done from you laptop of smartphone right to the TV. You can also use your phone as a remote, but it is very limited. Cons: The remote sucks and the guide that comes with the TV is annoying. It starts from the beginning every time you open and close it. VERY annoying. And 3D just kind of sucks in general, not really specific to this TV. But, who really needs 3D? Honestly. Maybe with expensive glasses it is better? Who knows. 2 out of 2 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Beautiful picture, bad everything else Written By Doug Z, Mountain View, CA on Friday, January 31, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) The picture is absolutely beautiful. Nearly everything else about this TV is an exercise in frustration. The remote is a bad joke -- the touchpad is nothing but a d-pad that ignores 2 out of every 3 clicks (and the remote goes through a set of batteries about every 2 months). The "smart" features aren't. Playing a movie from my home NAS? Works great -- except there's about a 50/50 chance it won't have any sound, which you can usually fix by rebooting the TV (ie, turning it on and off, and starting the movie again). Worst CEC implementation I've seen -- it's constantly fighting with my receiver trying to be "in charge" of controlling everything. It regularly puts up a dialog announcing it's "lost the Anynet+ connection". I'd think long and hard about buying this TV again -- unfortunately I think this kind of shoddy software comes with every TV these days -- and really it's almost worth it for the picture. Pros: - gorgeous picture Cons: - plan to buy a replacement remote, because you'll need to... - doesn't play well with other HDMI-CEC devices - even the software update mechanism isn't very reliable 4 out of 5 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Samsung UN55F7500 Written By Mark, York,PA on Friday, January 03, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) The TV was very easy to install. It is very light compared to the older unit (4 yrs). Hookup and setup was easy. Getting through some of the screens is difficult at first until we understood some of the vast increase in functionality. My wife likes the picture, but wishes the controls were a little more simple. The Eco light control sometimes turns the light back a little too much. Overall a great set. Pros: Lightweight Easy to set up Great picture and sound Detail and motion very crisp Cons: Eco light control sometimes gets the picture too dark in reduced light Mute does not turn off the audio to the sound system, so we then have to mute it separately 2 out of 2 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?

Yes No Samsung UN55F7500-REVIEW Written By Samsung UN55F7500, Woodcliff Lake, NJ on Wednesday, December 11, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Phenomenal TV...clear, crisp picture. My wife keeps asking if the TV shows we watch are now 'live. Sound is also good, but when you add a Samsung Sound bar, even better...everything works seamlessly Pros: Great video and audio..loading menus are extremely fast. Why would anyone need a 4k TV? Cons: Can't think of any... Was this review helpful? Yes No Terrific TV (won't be beat until 4k & OLED come out) Written By Meade, Charlottesville on Thursday, November 14, 2013 This is fantastic TV with a great picture, snappy fast menus, and a very low profile look. I'm sure that you can read about the detailed features in the description, so I'll just mention what mattered to me when deciding: When comparing the F7500 to the 8000 (1 model up) and the 7100 (1 model down), there are just a few features that change (e.g. blur reduction, micro dimming, webcam). Frankly, you can't tell the difference in picture without a side-by-side comparison and some really keen eyes & the webcam isn't useful enough to change anyone's mind. The deciding feature for me was the faster quad-core chip and the Smart Evolution kit compatibility. In short, the menus on the 7500 and 8000 are just faster. Netflix, Hulu, Pandora, and especially Plex all load and play faster with the faster chip than on the lower models. Also, this chip only upgradeable ($200 extra kit later) on the 7500 and 8000. That means the top two models will be faster longer; the 7100 and below will not be able to be upgraded. Truthfully, I think Samsung is completely aware that the 7100 or even the 6300 are as good picture-wise as the upper end TVs, so they put in a slower chip and locked down the upgrade ability to force you into the higher end model. That was the case for me anyway. All in all, it's a great TV and I'm very happy with my purchase. Pair it together with a Sanus LL11-B1 mount from Crutchfield for a terrific low-profile that puts the screen <1" from the wall. Pros: -Some useful SmartTV apps especially Plex, Netflix, Hulu+, and Pandora. If you don't know what Plex is, Google it immediately. It's basically a free Roku in your TV for playing your own music, movies, and pictures. Amazing! -Great picture, which is made even better with the thorough picture settings -Small bezel (~1/4") and thin panel (~1/2") -Very fast menu navigation due to quad core cpu -Wireless (this is 802.11 N, so it's very fast) -Camera can be hidden (unlike last year's model Cons: -The motion detection is gimmicky and not particularly useful. I hid the camera. -The SmartTV stuff is cool enough but not as good as a standalone Roku, AppleTV, or WD Play. -NOT A TOTAL CON, but the remote is a little different. What's great is how small, fast, and low profile it is. What's annoying is that is has so few buttons, that many inputs and options (ex. for a DVR) are hidden in secondary menus that require additional clicks to get to. 8 out of 8 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?

The television's white LEDs are arranged along the left and right edges of the screen and a proprietary light guide is used to focus its luminance inwards towards the middle of the screen for a more uniform brightness. Samsung's innovative Micro Dimming Pro technology scans zones across the image and adjusts brightness to deliver deeper, darker tones and brighter whites. It also eliminates the "halo" effect and any kind of image distortion that can happen with diffused lights. The result is a picture rich with vivid detail and accurate color reproduction. Ultra Clear Panel: Sometimes you can't keep sunlight or house lights from shining right on your TV screen. With Samsung's Ultra Clear Panel, you can still get an amazing picture even with reflective light. Ultra Clear Panel absorbs most ambient light and virtually eliminates reflections. Ultra Clear Panel also helps make colors more vibrant with deeper blacks and enhanced contrast for crisper images and excellent shadow detail. Clear Motion Rate 960: Clear Motion Rate (CMR) is Samsung's more comprehensive and accurate measure for how well the LED-LCD TV can display fast-moving images. Previously, motion clarity was expressed simply by the refresh rate, measured in Hz. CMR, however, takes into account all three factors that contribute to motion clarity: panel refresh rate, image processor speed and backlight technology. CMR is measured by determining the thinnest line a TV can display in a moving image. The thinner the line, the higher the CMR rating, and the clearer the picture you'll enjoy on the screen. Panel Refresh Rate (Hz): Samsung's screen refresh rate (240Hz) significantly improves motion detail and resolution by sampling the image more frequently, leading to smoother, more fluid movement. Image Processor (Auto Motion Plus): Samsung's proprietary Auto Motion Plus image processing technology is faster and more responsive than conventional image processors, as it interpolates intermediate frames to smooth out the image. LED Backlight Technology: Samsung's Edge-Lighting Backlight technology regulates output precisely in synchronization with the screen refresh to lessen the time it is lit, reducing ghosting and motion blur. Auto Motion Plus: Auto Motion Plus removes blur and judder from scenes with large amounts of rapid movement to provide a clearer picture. Auto Motion Plus reduces blur so that action movies, sports and video games have enhanced clarity. Advanced panels and unique backlight technology combine with proprietary algorithms to reduce the response time and yield a more accurate image reproduction with faster onscreen motion. Auto Motion Plus can be set to Clear, Standard, Smooth, Custom, or Off. Wide Color Enhancer Plus: Wide Color Enhancer Plus allows you to see picture color the way the director originally intended. Witness the entire RGB spectrum brought to life on your screen to bring you exceptionally vibrant, yet natural-looking images faithful to the director's original intent. Motion Lighting: The TV automatically adjusts the brightness of the screen in response to the brightness of the room. In bright light, the screen brightens. In dim light, the screen dims. HDTV Tuner: The TV has built-in over-the-air HDTV (ATSC) and Digital Cable (QAM) tuners, so you don't need a separate set-top box to receive and decode over-the-air HDTV/SDTV or unencrypted Digital Cable signals. 1080p Resolution: The LED-LCD television displays all inputs at a resolution of 1080p (1920 x 1080).

HDMI (MHL) Port: The HDMI 4 port is designed for the connection of select mobile phones and other portable electronic devices using the new MHL (Mobile High-Definition Link) standard. Simply plug your MHL compatible smartphone into the TV's HDMI 4 (MHL) port using the HDMI cable that is included with your mobile phone. MHL allows you to display full 1080p video and still images on the Samsung TV from your mobile smartphone. The TV's IR remote can be used to control basic playback functions (such as Play/Pause, Stop Fast Forward/Rewind, and Menu navigation). Your MHL compliant device will also charge while connected to the TV's HDMI 4 port. To find MHL-certified devices, go to www.mhlconsortium.org. Full HD 3D (via HDMI 1.4): The Samsung LED-LCD TV offers Full HD (1080p) 3D capability. Samsung 3D TV utilizes Bluetooth-enabled active shutter glasses (two pair included) for a full 1080p 3D viewing experience when coupled with a 3D source, such as a 3D-ready Blu-ray player or an HD 3D broadcast from satellite or cable providers (connected via HDMI 1.4).

The optical digital audio output will only output in 2ch stereo or a matrixed 5.1ch signal (DTS Neo 2.5) from sources connected to the TV via HDMI orRCA. Analog Audio: The television features a 3.5mm (minijack) audio output for connecting the television to an analog 2-channel receiver. You will need a minijack-to-RCA adapter (119MCON2M, sold separately) to make a stereo RCA connection between the television and your soundbar speaker or AV receiver. The TV's analog audio output terminals will output 2ch audio from any of the television's source inputs. ARC (Audio Return Channel): The Audio Return Channel in HDMI 1.4 enables a TV, via a single HDMI cable, to send audio data "upstream" to an A/V receiver; increasing user flexibility and eliminating the need for any separate S/PDIF audio connection. This feature allows audio to be sent from the television to your A/V receiver through the same HDMI cable already being used to send audio/video to the television. This eliminates the need for extra cables connected to the TV. ARC allows audio from the TV tuner, Network connection, inserted USB device, HDMI inputs, or any analog connected device to be heard through your ARC compatible AV receiver via the television's HDMI ARC input. The audio from the TV's tuner, network connection, and USB port can pass as Dolby Digital or 2ch PCM. HDMI and analog connected devices will be output as 2ch PCM only. Note: Both the television and the receiver must support ARC for this function to work properly. When connecting an A/V receiver that is compatible with Audio Return Channel (ARC), connect it to the TV's HDMI 3 input. If connecting a system that is incompatible Audio Return Channel (ARC), an additional audio connection via Digital Audio Out (Optical) is necessary. SoundShare: The TV is compatible with the SoundShare feature found on some Samsung Crystal Surround AirTrack active speaker systems (sound bars). SoundShare makes a wireless connection between the TV and the speaker system via Bluetooth. Once the two are paired, you can control the volume and mute the sound by using the remote control from the TV or the speaker system. If you change the AirTrack from TV mode to another mode or turned off, the TV audio will resume playing from the TV's speakers.

This conversation is closed.
Are you living before you die? Are you living off your passion?
Hello Ted world! It's great to be back again! Recently, I have been doing some soul searching, thus, I have been asking myself a lot of questions. And when I ask myself deep questions like that, I like to ask other people the same questions to sort of, if possible, look at things from a different perspective, and in the process learn about people. I have talked to a lot of people lately, especially adults. I am 17 by the way. I have talked to all my teachers, parents of friends, went to a retirement home to talk to some much older adults there. And before I share some of what I've learned over the months. I really wanted to get your opinion. So if you don't mind, I would more than appreciate if you could please answer these following questions. I want you to be as honest as possible. If you feel uncomfortable doing so in public, but still would like to share, please, feel free to email me: firstname.lastname@example.com.
The questions:
1- Do you believe that you have a purpose in life?
2- If so, what is your purpose?
3- What are 2 things that you regret?
4- What would you do if you knew you couldn't fail?
5-What are some of the things holding you back in life?
6-What is your definition of success?
Don't have to answer all the questions, however, I would love it if you did, but don't have to!
THANK YOU SO MUCH! :) Can't wait to read all the answers!
Mar 31 2013: HELLO FONKOU......nice to see you again:>) Looks like you have been doing lots of exploration.....good job!!!
1. Yes
2. To learn, grow, and evolve as an individual while contributing to the whole.
3. I regret nothing.....regret uses too much energy that can be used for learning and growing.
4. I would do exactly what I am doing. In my humble perception, there is no failure.....only exploration.
5. No thing is holding me back in life.
6. Being in the moment with kindness, compassion, empathy and unconditional love.
I cannot wait to read YOUR answers Fonkou, which I sincerely hope you will share:>)
Mar 31 2013: Hi Colleen! You seem like a very sweet woman! Very refreshing!
Nice answers, but would you honestly say that you don't have any regrets at all? There's not one thing you would do differently given the chance?
Apr 1 2013: Hi Fonkou,
You seem like a sweet person as well, and I've enjoyed your explorations in TED conversations:>)
Yes, I am honest with my answers to your questions:>)
Having no regrets, and thinking that I might have done something differently are different in my perspection.
Regret: "to mourn the loss or death of; to miss very much; to be very sorry for; grief or pain tinged with emotion; an expression of distressing emotion; disappointment..."
I do not spend time and energy on those emotions/feelings for a past event. As I continually evaluate information and lessons I've learned in the life adventure, sure, there are things I may have done differently. However, I did the best I could with the information I had at any given time.
As I grow and learn, it does no good to focus on what I could have done and regret what I did. In my perception, every moment in the life experience is an opportunity to learn, grow and evolve. If I spend time and energy with regrets, I am focusing on the past, and the heart and mind are not open to exploring the present moment.....make any sense?
Apr 1 2013: I understand what you said with perfect clarity! While reading that though, it reminded me of a woman I talked to a while ago. She was around her 50s. While in the conversation, I noticed that every time I gave her a compliment, she became uncomfortable and quickly moved on to another topic. I noticed it and pointed that out to her. By then she broke down, and talked about how she spends her whole life trying to be the absolute best person she can be, but every time she does one negative thing, it's all people remember. Then she went on to tell me about all the regrets she has. It was very clear that this woman lived in the past. And will continue to do so for a very long time. Very sad, just thought I would because that's what I thought when I read that! :)Apr 1 2013: Fonkou,
Unfortunately, many people orchestrate their lives based on what OTHERS remember or may think about them. Perhaps that is one factor that fuels the feeling of regret? Trying to make sure that s/he pleases other people?
At the end of the day, what is important to me is how I feel about myself. A huge lesson and example of this happened years ago when I challenged a toxic business in our community. As the whistleblower, I brought the situation to the attention of the local governing board, state environmental board and USEPA.
The owners were in violation of local, state and federal environmental laws....they had NO permits for ANY business, much less a toxic business in the middle of a residential area in the village. The owner was the chair of the local permitting board.
My life was threatened, and because these folks lived in the community all their lives, it seemed like EVERYONE supported them, and I felt like public enemy number one. It was said that I was just tryng to "ruin" them because I didn't like them....lots of stories like that circulated.
Because I was threateded and warned to "drop" the issue.....get the hell out of town.....watch my back....etc., I was afraid to go out into the community. I used to walk in the woods every day, and I stopped because of fear.
It was the first time in my life I did not feel liked or accepted by a group of people. It took several years to resolve, and I kept asking myself....do I want to be liked, and feel safe? Or do I want to do what is right for our environment? Over and over again, the answer was that I need to do what I feel is right for the environment, and if I am threatened, never feel safe or liked again, it is ok.
The business was finally ordered by the environmental court to vacate the site, and as soon as that happened, some people started speaking in favor of what I did. It took some folks many years to understand the ramifications of of the business and my reason for taking action.
Apr 1 2013: Well, I think it goes without saying that you're very strong woman! Just wow! I feel honored that you took part in this conversation!Apr 1 2013: Dear Fonkou,
I am honored to participate in this conversation, in which you have asked some VERY GOOD questions that impact all of our lives. I did not come to the earth school to be complacent, and I like exploring. If everyone asked the insightful questions you have asked, and were more mindfully aware in him/herself, we might have a more peaceful, content world:>)
Are we REALLY living life with passion and purpose, without regret? What, to us as individuals, is failure and success? What does it mean in our everyday lives? These are GREAT questions!
I am VERY impressed with your insight, and with all the young people who contribute to TED in such a meaningful way. It gives me hope for our future...thank you Fonkou:>)
Apr 1 2013: Thank you Colleen! I really do try. I am always asking myself the big questions in life. That's all I'm about. I feel as though if we all participated in the same conversation, then the world would be a much better place. But unfortunately, the majority of people do not think about such things. Which is why I want to be a talk show host. I can relate to different people. Through that, I hope, I will get the world, if not, then just the U.S to get involved with what happens at Ted.Apr 1 2013: 1. There is no purpose as such. The fact that you are here is reason enough. You decide.
2. After years of 'doing my duty' and working a 'proper' job and paying tax and a mortgage, I realised that I just don't care about money and things in the way many people seem to. So I am now a full-time musician. I guess my purpose is to enjoy life as well as make people enjoy the party they are at.
3. I regret the times I've combed through my past looking for regrets. The past is just a goodbye.
4. Honestly, try to fail, just to spite the universe :)
5. My expectations of other peoples' expectations.
6. Doing what you love.

Apr 14 2013: I chose to respond to this because I am 22 and fortunately I have very recently found myself answering these questions, as well-- I am just so happy that I am taking on these better views of life now as opposed to a long time down the road, or I die never having realized any of it-- which many around us will do. I will preface my answers with a brief layout of me: I just graduated university with a degree in theatre performance, plan on fulfilling my life's desires on doing comedy, entertainment and television, but NOT with the hopes of before that many have of striking rich and having tons of fame with that definite power. I realized that comedy is who I am, fortunately I was gifted with talent in many aspects that make a good comedian, and now I plan on doing it because it would make me happy every single day of my life-- bringing joy and laughter into the lives of those around me. The money and "success" will come as it does, and I will take whatever comes my way (and if a lot comes back, I will put a lot of it back in ways that I see fit)
- +1
1- Do you believe that you have a purpose in life?
Personally, yes, but that is because comedy was something I was meant to do since birth.
2- If so, what is your purpose?
To entertain. (As well as educate.) Both of major importance.
3- What are 2 things that you regret?
None really....Not spending enough time with my family. (That's all I got.)
4- What would you do if you knew you couldn't fail?
Comedy. Which I am excited to do knowing that I could surely fail-- but that's saying there is a definition of "failure."
5-What are some of the things holding you back in life?
Having enough hours in the day to exercise daily, cook/eat healthily, work a job that pays the bills while I am working for free until my comedy career becomes sustainable.
6-What is your definition of success?
Being in a place that you can feasibly sustain your life (perhaps with someone else and a family) while enjoying 99% of what you do every day

Apr 3 2013: 1-2 i don't know a specific one but if I have to choose I'd say changing the world and looking out for every single person around me at every time
- +1
3- so far I haven't made any choices in my life I regret or would change since I am happy with the outcome of where I am now
4- if I knew I couldn't fail... Depends on what I am trying to achieve if it is really important I wouldn't even bother trying to fail...
And if I try to fail and still succeed at the thing I am doing I failed myself but if I can't fail neither can I fail myself or the objective so its not really possible to do this one...
5- death is holding me back from a lot of things in life and I have no wishes to explore what's in death at this point and try to do everything I can if I had the money
6- definition of success... I would feel successful if I changed the way of life of a lot of people and let them make the most out of their life without getting recognized by people or honored because of doing so. (A goal nearly impossible but certainly worth trying)
And to get back at the title if I knew what comes after death...
Perhaps life is just to get enlightened in at the point of death and no return all the puzzle pieces of this life fall together and you'll find a purpose in being in another state of life?
Certainly no fear of death when the time comes I'd be too curious on what's behind the so called light people see.Apr 2 2013: Very interesting conversation!
1- I think I discovered my purpose recently.
2- To become a successful person.
3- First, being angry and yelling at close people. Second,doing things without thinking.
4- Play lottorey.
5-Shyness, laziness.
6-My definition is the achievement financial security for yourself and family.
It was a nice experience for me to answer these questions, thank you!
Apr 3 2013: Thank you so much Teodor for taking your time to answer them!

I believe I have a purpose, but it's kind of a long explanation.
In a certain way I don't regret anything. I often think that the good choices we make and the bad ones are all tied up together, if the bad things hadn't happened, the good ones wouldn't have either.
Success for me is cultivating a mild sweetness.

Has anyone here ever done any boatbilding? Id like to try my hand at it. somthing small maybee 16-18 foot and trailerable. and if that goes well maybee a larger boat for coastal cruising. Has anyone been involved in such things? Im interested in knowing if there are any specialty skills needed. I am a pretty good stick welder and I am also very good at MIG and flux core.

Steel Boatbuilding
I have and I constanly repair boats daily mostly they are all aluminum on the hulls I work on. I do repair some steel hulls tho.
You could do it.
Shape (design) and warpage control would be your biggest obstacles on prototypes. Steel would be heavy also and by the time you used thin enuff material to keep the weight down it would be weak. Prolly why you don't see small steel boats much untill thicker materials are not so much a factor.
Painting the backsides of everything could prove impossible after welding so rust would catch up to you quickly. Not saying you could not do it just saying there is more than enuff reasons NOT to use steel in a trailerable boat.
Aluminum makes much more sense...IMO

I don't see why it wouldn't be posible if you had the funds and time. There are a lot of designs out there for plywood boats. I would think that the rib and shell system wood work ok if you translated it to metal. Its the basic idea behind larger vessals.
I've done wood and fiberglass boats. The only steel was on a barge. ie floating steel box.
If you have the funds, SS would be top notch. Also alum, but my alum skills would need to be a lot better.

Hey, we can trailer our 80k Cat 988 rubbertired loader! You just need a bigger truck and trailer! I have seen some BIG boats on lowboy trailers. The guy I used to work for had his 40' topaz moved on a trailer. Yes it was a permit / wideload and we had to take down the tower.
I was thinking more on the lines of costal craft as opposed to a john boat.
For a small boat I could see a Alum frame and thin alum attached with water tight poprivits. Basically the same as a john boat. I could however see the same thing done in SS done at 4x+ the weight.
I ride in a steel boat all the time over in a park in Pa and i always wonder why someone couldn't build one. But i don't have enough time or big enough shop...BobBob Wright, Grandson of Tee Nee Boat Trailer Founder

Spool Gun conversion. How To Do It. Below.
Had one built for me in London and live on it now in France. Built for the rivers and canals of Europe. The hull came from old plans of traditional Dutch working boats, but the superstructure is my design.
Photos of the build are located here - http://community.webshots.com/user/dewebb1
Steel boats / ships are all over the inland waterways of Europe (thousands of them) due to the beating they take traveling through locks, etc. Mine has a substantial "D-Bar" rub rail that takes most of the beating and I am always repainting it. Some locks are only 5.10 meters in width and my ship is 4.85 - not much clearance on the sides.
I have a friend who is building one, essentially like mine (24 meters) single handedly. His is a work of art and, I hate to say, will be the most beautiful boat of its type in all of Europe when it is done - right now, mine is, IMHO! He has been at it for three years and has all the steel work completed and is now outfitting the interior.
His main arsenal of tools are a stick welder, plasma cutter and a grinder - not to mention a heavy duty, but ancient, crane to move the steel plate. It is being build on a set of rails which will take it a couple of hundred yards to the side of the canal where two very heavy duty cranes will lift it into the water.
Quite a project, but one that shows what one man and a lot of determination can do.

How does your barge handle on open water???? I have been doing alot of internet reading and reserch on Dutch barges. I have been unable to find any American builders that offer a boat of this style. I am so pleased to have your reply due to my fondness of the Dutch barge. I would like to build or have the hull built and fit out myself a 55 to 60 foot by 13 or 14 foot beam barge to cruise the Great lakes, the Erie barge canal in New York and the Intracostal waterway.
hope to hear from you again

It can be done. I built a 48 ft. replica of a Chris Craft years back. The only thing that yu need to do is throw the square overboard. Everything on a boat is built on a curve. You can do that with a piece of wood 1" square and about 10 ft long. I also built a custm 40 ft. twin hull a few years back. Although I wouldn't want to buy the fuel for either one of them today. They both went with gas engines instead of diesels.

Red Bull's hopes of getting Daniel Ricciardo's runner-up spot at the Australian GP reinstated have received a blow with Ferrari and Mercedes warning it's important to support the FIA over the new fuel-flow technology.
Starting second on the grid at Albert Park on Sunday, local hero Ricciardo produced an immaculate display to claim his maiden podium in his first race for Red Bull.
However, more than five hours after he crossed the finish line he was excluded from the results after the FIA found that his car "consistently" exceeded the maximum fuel-flow rate of 100kg per hour.
Red Bull, though, are adamant they didn't do anything wrong and have indicated they will lodge an appeal with team principal Christian Horner describing it as an "immature technology" that is "impossible to rely 100 per cent on that sensor".
It appears they won't have the backing of Ferrari and Mercedes in any appeal though, even though the teams have admitted they were scratching their heads at times over the new technology.
Stefano Domenicali, the Ferrari team principal, is quoted by Autosport as saying: "We need to rely on the fact that it is a situation that is well managed by the FIA. We have the FIA that will do their job and I am sure there will not be a problem at all."
Toto Wolff, the Mercedes executive director, also insisted that it is important that motorsport's governing body is backed over the issue.
"The FIA is obviously controlling fuel flow and checking with all the teams, and it is a question of learning by doing it between the FIA and the teams," he said.
He added: "The fuel-flow meter is an FIA system and this needs to be integrated in the cars. This is a learning process where the teams support the FIA and vice versa."
