What is the minimum HP (outboard) needed to get the 19′ version in wood to plane out? Since this is the same hull used in several boat designs then, I assume, the hull weight is about 1200lbs for the wooden 19 footer.
Minimum hp is about 75. The Mackinaw in wood weighs about 1400 pounds.
what about salt water, are they lighter than fiberfglass
What about the rust factor ? Mostly in salt water, Is there a version that uses less HP?
Rust isn’t an issue if the boat is properly finished. You can use less hp on this design…
