Default Re: I Need A Shrink !

Thanks Conner I'll post a bunch of pictures of the guts of the hull in a little while. I appreciate your input on the engine and duo prop earlier. One thing I noticed already is that the floor of the 25 is laminated (glassed) to the stringers which is something I have not run across in the 23 or the 20. The floor is cored with 1/2" balsa and the glass is very thick probably close to 3/8 1/2 inch thick. The one thing I don't like about the floor support is the span between the port and starboard stringer which is quite wide probably near 5 feet. I'm gonna put a little more support under the floor by laminating some false stringers to narrow the span. I checked out your boat on photo bucket. Do you know the gear ratio of your drive?
