Hey Ozpulse ;)

That's a truely beautiful and dynamic looking design!
What will the size (lenght) of the boat be, and where should the engine be placed in a boat like this?

TO THE MODS: After you changed this site it's impossible to enlarge pics and drawings. Screen just go pale. Can you correct this?

Cheers! :cheer:
Woodie.

45" long Woodie, the engine mounts down towards the back to the raised tabs for the engine stand uprights.

If you are running IE7 or better, or Firefox let me know. Otherwise if using older IE versions, I'm afraid there isn't much I can do as I will not revert to older software to accommodate this obsolete version of IE. It would mean going back to the stone age! :)

Thanks Mark! B)
The trick will be to get the thrust line right, which is why I havent included the engine stand as yet. Once I figure which motor Im going to use I will draw them in.
Haha, looking at it now if you built up a F1 style centre for it you could run a gas engine in it with a standard water prop.

Last time I downloaded the latest version of IE, the download I received was so badly corrupted I had to have my hard drive reformatted.

Listen guys...I've been doing this for years...updating a browser is not a problem if you get it from the correct source. If I may, I strongly recommend you get Firefox and stop messing with old versions of IE...its just a PITA.
