"inspirational shots" on the other thread.

If your boat build is as nice as your strong back it will be beautiful!
Thanks Tcason and Shine for the comments on the strongback.

And how about another inspirational shot just to help everyone stay motivated for the build....

Good luck with the build. The panga is a very seaworthy boat and an easy design. Keep picture posting on the high side, we all like them I think. I posted tons of them. I hope you all liked them. I think you did, but who knows. On the console issue I would think that if you keep the battery in a forward compartment or two batteries forward it would help offset the rear load. One optima battery weighs 59 lbs for the 31 class and can be mounted in any position. If you use two forward it would much more weight than the offset of the console and possibly you. I may be wrong so bring on the suggestions. I feel the boat should be what you want it to be. Your building it and will have to live with what you built, so make it your own. BUILD-ON! Dave
Dave Thanks for the input on my console question. I'm still no closer to a solution but do have several points to research before the hull flip. The plan however, is to have two batteries but not sure of the exact locations yet. They very well may be pushed forward a bit depending on the console math.

I have a question for all of you following along. What do you want to see pictures of? Several have requested me to post a slew of them. My goal is to build a beautiful boat and to keep those interested abreast of my progress. So if there's something you want to see specifically, just let me know and I'll do my best..

I think the 90 hp would be reasonable for that boat.

I see now. "Can accept outboards up to 115 Hp but we don't recommend anything larger than a 90 Hp."
I think the 90 hp would be reasonable for that boat.
So how about fuel economy, is the Panga 22 better off with the 65, 75 or 90 Hp? Does the expenditure of funds up front pay off in the end and is going above 35 mph in my Panga really necessary or even safe? Study plwn states 75hp will push it to 36mph. Although outtrunning a black cloud every now and again is commonplace in the gulf. And then the additional weight of a 90 on shallow draft...
