" I was also thinking of building it as a v bottom and using a single outboard. "

What you mean by that?

I built double Eagle as a wood center console (deleted the cabin), and use a 3.0L Gm inboard reduction gear. I stretched it the 10% and it is a great boat. I mostly fish with it out to 25miles offshore. It is good in offshore seas, and can outrun most other fiberglass outboards in the tougher seas. ...

Slip is a difficult thing to figure out, but generally about 10-20%. I say generally because you can have a steep pitch prop and it runs with more slip than a flatter pitch prop and yet the boat goes the same speed. My experience is that as pitch goes up, slip goes up too. So don't get hung up worry...

I think your prop guy is on the right track. A 12" prop will start getting blade tip cavitation at about 4000 rpm. The 10" will start around 4800 rpm. Pitch and cup get the power back. Bill What's the majic formula for that? Why a 12" prop @ 4000rpm? There is sooo many boats, ski boats, mahogany's,...

Hi, what RPM is that engine rated at?

Are you proposing to cut the diameter to 10", or, change pitch to 10" ? I not following that, sorry. In your prior posts I believe you needed more pitch. Perhaps by adding cup as you mention you can get the pitch you need that way. I would not cut the diameter down though, because when you go down i...

They hold tools, sandpaper, paint brushes. paint and resin buckets, and anything. they can be a seat when working down low or a step when you need to reach something. I need to go buy about five more! Bill Buy them? I thought everybody stole them ?? At least the ones I see for 'sale' are thin light...

Gosh, Neel,
Which is a better proposition, giving up on the PB22, or, building a garage at the new place just for the PB22?
You gonna stay in the hobby, right?

Don't be scared to death about the inboard installation. This has been done so many times there is ample help and info around. If you do decide on one of the cold-mold designs, by the time you get to the engine installation process, you will handle it just fine. The Gentry is a fine choice, especial...

So whats the deal about the toilet paper,??
I can somewhat understand buying up some foodstuffs, non-perishables, etc.
But toilet paper??? Why?
What am I missing?

use a notched trowel,
in large areas you can get air bubble that may stay in the laminate, a notched trowel helps let air out
don't ask me how I know

Geez man, you are all over the place with your question. you started with a cold-mold mahogany that you wanted to stretch BOTH beam & length & make stern drive. then you went to ply skins boat. If the boat you quote in the OP is a modernistic approach to a interior, and you want stern-drive, and you...

working with the plans right out of the mailing envelope, they tend to crawl around a lot. I had many weighted ducks, big paperweights, to hold them down as I stretched them out flat. here is a old notebook article from Glen Witt https://www.glen-l.com/weblettr/webletters-6/webletter48.html#notebook...

I initially transferred my original plans to heavy stock paper, I think it was a roll of flooring underlayment paper. I drew them full size, and then I had full size drawings, all the sacred lines, on heavy workbench paper, thats what I used to assemble the frames. I made the transfer with double si...
