Re: custom wooden boat...
Got a picture?
I assume straight inboard?
How many feet forward is the stuffing box?
When you say it is painted, is it possibly skim coated in resin and glass then painted?
I would think a boat that size would have a tendency to be wet and pound with a inboard to start so I would think a 4.3 might be the best compromise.
