I'm looking forward to your build. I like your FS12 pics... I check them often. I think the FS17 will be perfect cut down with the big deck! I really like the shape of the boat. I can see lots of variations with this boat.
On a side note... the Aquasport rebuild pics are great. I check them often as well!

:D A 40 will be OK, the problem is there is not a F30.

Who knows, I may go with a 2 stroke 25; they are available with electric start . They are also about half the cost.

Hey Shine,

If JMM rendered the low shear for you already, can you post those pics? I'm curious what goal you're aiming toward.

Excellent. I'm very interested in seeing this build. I"ve considered exactly that mod. Maybe not making the casting decks quite as large.

Maybe a stupid question, but if you extend the decks the sole only needs to be the length of the cockpit, not the full length from E to A as in the plans? I was planning on running it from E all the way to A.

Exactly Donny. The casting decks make up for the sole. I believe the only other place you will need a peice of sole is in the rear for the transom. May be wrong there. Just build up the last frames to the height of the casting decks. Don't get me wrong you can put soles in if you want for storage, and to cover the foam if you use it, but you don't need to. And I might use a lighter plywood for them.
