Sorry you feel that way,

While I do want to sell boats, I don't really think this is going to
get me any leads.

Just for the record I have made this post for informational reference.
We have a great discussion going on rec.boats.

We Have tried to build a boat in the spirit of the past but with newer
technology which reduces maintenance and is designed for the
application. Beside how would you feel if we took a vintage boat and
modified it!! I feel that would be sacrilege.

I am open to all questions regarding the construction methods and
drive system. I am here to share not sell.





Some discussion of the construction or links to photos of the hull in
build
would be interesting for a boatbuilding group! As would some more details
or photo's of the drive train.

I will be working on just that in the coming weeks. My contracting company
website was broker for several months during construction but I have over
450 pictures of the construction from the strongback to completion. Until
then I am happy to field any questions.

The drive train is simply a direct coupling of the motor shaft to the prop
shat using standard marine couplings and shaft logs.

We are looking a a v-drive reduction gear to get our motor speed up and
increase usable torque at the prop so we can use a prop with greater pitch.
Right now we are spinning a pair of 13x 12 counter rotating wheels.

I will work on the construction pictures as time is available.
