 What ya'll think?
It's my day off and pouring down rain so I needed something to keep me occupied. Here's a basic layout sketch for my boat. I drew another version with a pointed bow, but the point takes up deck space and this boat won't see much use in timber. I'm open to any suggestions and feedback.

 Re: What ya'll think?
Hey Jason fuck you!!
I took visualization to a new level. See this guy drew this out on a piece of paper. If he puts the paper on the ground, and stands on it, his foot does not fit in the boat. I used chalk, stood INSIDE my boat and go to see the room I would have.
I rather have fun and use Crayola products.....plus I don't have time to sit down with a ruler and draw shit

 Re: What ya'll think?
Don't want to go any longer. Going to be running a MB 27 Mini Lite on this hull. I did consider going a little higher on the side height, but this will be a protected water boat. Not many waves in the everglades and want to keep weight down.

 Re: What ya'll think?
Made a few changes. 14" hunt deck, 20" sides, 4' deck. What size is the drivers box on ya'lls rigs? Also going to lower the hunt deck. My goal is to have it about 2" above the water when the boat is at rest. What size is the trolling motor pad on the front deck?
Thanks, Nathan

 Re: What ya'll think?
I thought about using the sidewalk chalk idea also. It gives you a full scale example to look at. Problem is I have a brick driveway. Doesn't make a very smooth surface for sidewalk chalk.

 Re: What ya'll think?
I'd make it 18' long, and if not 4.5' wide. You'll be glad you did.
