Yep fairing should not be to bad for you. Qustion though, did you take your skeg all the way to the transom, if you did you need to cut off 18" so that there is no disturbed water going to the prop. Maybe the picture is distorted and I am seeing it wrong.

Re: Panga 22 Slow Cooker
Hi Tom. The skeg was installed starting 4 inches in front of the transom. No plans to go fast in this boat so I am not too worried about the turbulence issues. We have had a cold streak so progress is limited. Got the spray rails on and glassed over and started fairing the hull. Not too exciting. Slowly getting her ready for paint when the temperature starts to climb.

Re: Panga 22 Slow Cooker
To be fair to Tom here, prop turbulence happens at almost any speed. Disturbed water can cause excess prop slip and loss of fuel economy. If you go this route; you ought to do a slip calc at cruise speed.PapaDave wrote: ↑Mon Jan 24, 2022 3:37 pm Hi Tom. The skeg was installed starting 4 inches in front of the transom.

Re: Panga 22 Slow Cooker
Anything over displacement speed of 6-7mpg will cause interference with the prop. Chop off the skep now while you can unless you're running a 15 or 20 HP motor. When you know what motor, you are putting on, I will be glad to help to size the prop for you.

Re: Panga 22 Slow Cooker
I took your advice Tom and cut the skeg back 18 inches from the transom. Thanks for looking out for me. Besides that, it has been too cold to do much on the Panga so I started another project. My big whitewater dory is tough as a solo boat so I started on a one person double ender whitewater dory (11.5 feet long). This new one will be easier to drag around and run solo. Almost ready for exterior paint and deck coverings.
Re: Panga 22 Slow Cooker
Neat works and it looks cool too. I've never been in one of those but bet it's fun. How you can keep the floor so clean is a mystery to me!

Re: Panga 22 Slow Cooker
Nice little drift boat! Lot of use for them in my area.
Re: Panga 22 Slow Cooker
It would be a perfect size dory to run the Kenai solo Fuzz. I do need to get back up there soon. It has been too long. I put together two sizes of hatch drain molds that should work well for a few different boats. Just need to be waxed and then tested. The little dory is set up for four hatches and completely decked over, so I will build two hatches of each size.
Re: Panga 22 Slow Cooker
Good looking hatches PD. Tom

Rolled on a few coats of graphite and almost ready to paint the outside prior to flipping over. I am curious about the final weight. Trying to keep it under 200 pounds.
