Hi, I finally received the Mini Maia21 plans, but I´m realy upset with the differency betwin the metric values and the inches(US) values. The metric values provided at my project are very different from what I see on the page description. I´m not confident with the metric values. Can you please do...

Hi projectors team, Recently I bought the MiniMaia21 project, but I didn’t receive it yet. Reviewing the specifications I found a significant difference between the metric and US/British measures. The LOA is specified as 21' 2" and for me it should be 6,46m. On the metric column its 6,9m and ...

Hi Evan, I think that you could add the hull speed on the "Mini Maia 21 - Study Plans". I consider this information very helpfull to decide. I expect to run close to 6 knots with the proposed engine 6HP to 8HP, but here where I live - Brazil), it´s not easy to find 4 stroke with litle pow...

Evan, you are right.... If I have to choose, I prefer to stay alive than standing with risk. For sure, the center of gravity need to be low. I think to use PVC on the top of the boat. Is it a good choice? I asked just to help me to imagine the cabin volume. I prefer a nice and beatiful boat than an ...

Well, as I could understand, the displacement hull can run at 6 mph. The LB22 can run faster than, but what I need? The HMD18 look nice to me if I’m putting the spot light on accommodations. 1. I want a boat for 2 people with sleep accommodations. 2. I want to run between 10-15 mph and this issue ...

Hi group, My name is Jeferson Scholze and I live in south of Brazil. We have a very big lagoon and I want to build a boat to explorer it with my wife and my too kids. I’m looking for the MT24 (Maia24) project. I want to know what should be the cruiser speed that boat will run if I install an inboa...
