Now, 38 years and a lot more experience later, I built another one, but with a lot of changes. The new boat was built using birch ply instead of the mahogany, is lighter, wider and probably faster. I, like you, installed a modern engine that will kick out twice the RPM of the HB and is made for boats. Here's a link to a picture of the boat with just cockpit work and painting left to do, taken back in 2011:

That's awesome! I remember the Pay'N Pak as kid. I would have loved to have one of those boats!!!
