Bracket tub shape opinions

[1bayouboy]

Still gathering materials but meanwhile devising a plan for the mold. After looking over all the pics I could find, I decided I want to try for maximum flotation and looks.

So I enlisted some help from the capt and traced the hull bottom then cut it out so I could have a visual aid...

Some help from the capt....



Getting the bottom traced



And here's the shape so far..the inside of the blue tape....it follows the 21 degree panel and blends over into the 13 degree panel. Maximum width is 52 inches. The flat section of the tub's keel is 3.5 inches above the flat section on the hull's keel to leave room for a garboard drain. I think I left enough room on the sides for tabs....and I can also put a little slope on the sides. I should be able to mount the motors on 30 inch centers.....a couple of inches wider than stock....and which right now is looking like it will be twin 140 zukes.
The mold building will be a little tricky but I think I have a plan to keep the front and back parallel and at 13 degrees while I get the sides and bottom fixed in place. I'll know if it works in the next couple of weeks as I try to build it. It should have a lot of flotation. I'm still considering the setback....I'd like to keep it as short as possible and still be able to trim the motors all the way up. I'm not sure the distance from the inside of the transom to the end of the cowling on those motors....if somebody knows please chime in.
