Default Build 6: SI3 Hydro .60/.90 size

Building this out of 3/16" Birch 5-ply, 1/8" Carmelized Maple 3-ply, a little balsa and liteply for bulkheads & skin support. Engine mount is still on the drawing board, but will allow for 2-3 inches of engine movement fore/aft. Planning around 12" diameter props, 3" rudder, and hopefully it won't weigh a ton.
