Re: RB16 New build 1st time Kentucky
TommyD , if no one answers in the next day or so try posting up top under powerboats in Plan,s and Building . Or go on and post up top . Many people don't follow all build tread,s so there are fewer people to answer your questions . I would start a tread up top and use it to ask questions , or pick ...

A lot of small power cats can be beached , Wood,s , K-design and various others . If you not looking to haul a lot of heavy material I would think a small cat might fit your needs .

Re: Tunnel
Looking at the study plans the max hp should not be over 50 hp , don't know if higher hp and speed affects the tunnel or hull performance but I would think it would .

Re: Landing craft, quad sized.
I looked at your craigslist , plenty of Bay Liners with I/O ,s , didn't see anything cheap enough I would beat up hauling material . On your Facebook marketplace there was a 24' Carolina Skiff 6k within 250 mi . We used mostly 24' Carolina Skiffs for work and crew boats , they will haul the world , ...

Re: Landing craft, quad sized.
A used Shugart barge could be pushed with any or the 16-20' house boats with enough power on the back . But if you are at the point that you have the property then pre planning for a boat is past . I think your best option would be to try and find a used boat to buy with a cabin , no motor , large e...

Re: Looking for boat plans for my next build
I think the 50 mph and 40 to 50 gal fuel may limit you on your options . The C19 , CX19 and C21 will give you your fuel requirement but miss on speed by a little , with 37 max and 30 cruise you are not off by much , about 30 minuets on a 90 mile run between max 50 mph and 37 mph .
