A friend demolished his boat and gifted the hard parts to me. I basically got the boat minus the hull.Parts list includes a marinized 1970 chrysler 360 with a 71c 1:1 velvet drive, 6' stainless propshaft, bronze strut 7.5" drop aprox 10 degree, a three blade 14" bronze prop, rudder,steering gear, stuffing boxes for prop shaft and rudder, and some miscellaneous hardware. So far all the pieces look very serviceable
The boat he tore apart was a cabin cruiser but I am interested in making a runabout with a loa of 20' for day trips with 4-6 persons.
what would be some good designs to look at? This would be my first powerboat build,having only built canoes and kyacks before.
