Scott that sounds good. I'm glad you're getting inthused about building again. So the hull you were describing- what is the desired h.p. target?



25-50 horse... 10 degree deadrise and long flat bottom, the whole hull
complete will be around 300-350 pounds and should easily hit 18-22 mph
with a 25 and who really knows with a 50, maybe close to 30? Maybe some
of you power boat guys can guess for me...

Again, it's the second boat down on the page, with the "soft" chines...
That was the change I made was softening the chines.

Still would like to hear input from anybody out there who is familiar
with smaller power boats, skiffs and whalers as to any thoughts on how
this hull might work, and if I am on track with my above estimates??

Thanks...
