Need guidance on twin four stroke build
Hello,
I recently got ahold of a pair of FS40-M marine four strokes. (After searching for a very long time)
I'm in the planning stages of a boat build. I want to make it from wood and fiberglass. What I don't know, is how large to build, and what type of boat would be best. I really want something that looks semi scale, not just a speedboat with an open deck exposing the engines..
The engines themselves are NOT powerhouses. Combined, I have about 13cc of glow, four stroke, old technology (these are pre-Surpass engines, 1982)
So I *might* have the power of a single .40 two stroke.
The engines will drive a single prop, that's pretty much set, since Ive already started machining parts.
Could someone here point me in the direction of where to find some build plans for a boat that would fit the bill? Thanks.
