| Hi Jamie. What is the current transom height and angle. It looks low even for a short shaft motor. I have been raising the motor (30hp short shaft Johnson) on my boat and am currently at a 21” transom. I would have to make a new bracket to run higher. My 15 Johnson short shaft also runs on a 20” tra... |

| 50mph is a nice goal. In ideal conditions, might be attainable. I would shy away from a set back transom and go for an inset (3-4”) transom. It would move the cg forward and provide a built in trim tab. Some people put hooks in the bottom or weld a strip across the bottom to reduce porpoising in an ... |

| I like the idea of 30hp tiller type of racing. Having a race boat and motor that is available to the general public and can also be used as a fishing boat or grocery getter could attract more people to racing. There are pros and cons to all types of boat materials. Aluminum is durable and easy (for ... |

| See if you can get some tremco 440 tape from a window place. 1/8x3/8 works great 1/16x3/8 works well if you are careful. I was just suggesting to put a layer of epoxy where you plan to run the bag tape. Not on the entire part. I have never used one of the frogs for the hose. I always wrapped some bl... |

| Crawl, looks like you are doing a nice job with the right materials. I did a similar job with a friend on a Switzer Shooting Star years ago. It was a lot of work but worth it. How about instead of tee nuts, screwing a piece of 1/4” aluminum flat bar to the underside of the plywood. It’s easy to dril... |

What power will you be running.
I have been thinking about building a similar boat either of plywood or if I had the money, carbon/nomex honeycomb panels. Would probably weigh 55 or 60lbs but would not be as malleable as aluminum. |
