RE: Design

Marin,
Who cares if the space is narrower ... it's much longer. Same space. You got a point about moorage though. I tend to forget about that up here where there ar'nt too many people. My moorage is a little over $500. a year. I think the keel offers much more drag and produces much more turbulence than shafts and struts. About your GB ... if you put two 55hp Isusu's in your boat and changed the shape of the stern so the bottom turned up at the stern to the water line or nearly so you would cruse at 7 1/2 knots burning 2gph. Just an opnion and just a thought. Speaking of thoughts check this out. 1943 Noorduyn Norseman 600hp 1340 PW 60K (about) 907 223 5282 or on e-bay. Thanks again for your comments on my pictures.
