Default Gunwhale padding? ... new pics

What do you figure the finished weight will come in at?


I was originally hoping for 20 ~ 25 lbs. Now I'm hoping for
30 ~ 35 lbs. The gun'l rubrail will be a big portion of that.


Any plans for an outboard, and if so, how big?


It could carry an outboard, that's one reason I made the
stern sections a little bit fatter & flatter than I would
have for aesthetics & pure rowing performance. Should carry
any reasonable 9.9hp (70 lbs? 80?) and the fat part of the
skeg is sized to clear a short shaft. It won't motor as well
as a flat-bottomed dink, of course; but I expect it should
plane.
