Default RE: Scratch built push tug

I plan to use two 550 motors possibly 3:1 reductions.I will fiberglass it cause it's heavier than the pacer z poxy I'd prefer to use.I have no plans as of yet how I'm gonna build the super structure but I will make 80% of the deck removable and sealed.I think my draft is too deep for the lenth.I'm thinking of adding 4" to the hull.I have to sell some rc truck stuff before I can purchase gear for it.I have to locate shafts and stuffing boxes and install them before the fiberglass work.right now my next plan is to try to make a mininplaner out of my router to make thinner planks for the next hull.I may sell this one
