And why inboard??? One of the advantages of having a flat bottom is shallow draft. But an inboard defeats the advantage. How's about a nice little four cycle outboard? Rick I design and build my own boats because I want them to turn out the way I WANT, not the way "most people" want. True, for performance, reliability, weight, etc. an outboard would be better. In fact, I have one. Goes real nice, sounds like: "WAAAAAAAAAA!!!" But THIS boat I want to go "pooketa-pooketa-pooketa" as I sit behind the wood wheel and watch the scenery go by. I happen to like the smell of diesel over the smell of 2-stroke oil. I chose flat-bottom because it's easy and cheap, not for shallow draft. I still might put some Vee in it, I donno... http://www.oldengineshed.com/waves/listersl.wav Understand the concept? Lloyd Sumpter |
