Tim, I'm going with the OLD RELIABLE Thunder Tiger .40 with a fresh assortment of new props - and once again playing it safe - going traditional flat bottom after my last step boat failure - I may end up doing it all in cedar strips - practicing to build a kayak... someday
shooting for a 3- lb hull - 5 lbs complete. Clean a simple - not traditional - i have a couple new ideas for rudders and possibly a roll cage.
I will try to post my concept picture. In a few minutes.
