| My first boat  . It uses a 13hp Lifonda engine coupled to a 50" prop (made from a 2x6  ) and has 38"x8' hull. I won't be able to test it in the water until next next weekend because of studies  . I can't wait to test it, I haven't boated since I was a wee young'in lol.   'murica boat | |

| Cool. I made a small boat out of plywood once just messing around, but it ended up being too narrow which made it tipsy. Let us know how the testing goes. | |

| Update. Well the engine and tower assembly is too heavy for the 3 foot hull to the point where I only get 2" of freeboard near the transom  . Quite scary especially when turning lol. So this summer after school ends and before my internship I'm going use my little 5hp Honda as a long tail mud motor, churnin water is so much more efficient than movin air. The 13hp will be put to use in the Muskrat where I can now use the heavy duty horizontal input transaxles  . | |
