Re: New beginnings I thought my old 18x46 was a canoe, that's narrow. 24" sides, tall and skinny. Ought to get pretty good speeds with a 35/37 hp. What motor you going with?

Re: New beginnings Seems like the longer, narrower hulls perform better with LTs... I figure it would be a fast rig with a surface drive, and as far as load carrying goes, I don't have that many friends........

Re: New beginnings Who did you use as your material supplier, and did you consider having a 1 piece hull bent?

Re: New beginnings I use discount steel for most of my materials. I was looking at their website last night and it looks like they have a 18' brake. I saw that Gale marine in Galesville Wi. (near Lacrosse) does boat fab work, and has a 20' brake. not sure if they can easily get 10' x 20' materials at a reasonable cost.
Love what you've got started. I think that the tall sides make the bottom look narrower than it actually is. I bet it looks different in person compared to the pictures. Keep the pics comin.

Re: New beginnings Also, does the bottom taper in width from front to back or does it just appear to in the pictures?

Re: New beginnings with the 24" sides, will there be a clearance issue with the front of the motor (when trimmed up) and the back bar of the cockpit with having a hunt deck? I assume you will be putting a tall transom motor on it.

Re: New beginnings No... and since my motor has a tilting tiller even if that fucker comes flying out of the water and the tiller were to strike the false transom, that pivot would protect anything from harm

Re: New beginnings That being said I might make a transition to a lower height for the false transom for getting in and out easier... but that could always come later

Re: New beginnings Well Discount steel said their maximum length for a break is 12' and Gale marine said they can make a bend up to 20', but cant bend a one piece hull because the maximum between centers on their machine is also 12'.
How is your build coming? you havent posted any new pics for a while.
