2. One of the 7 Marine 557 hp outboards

Default Lake racer model

Center Console, One well designed pad about 12" wide at the transom. Work on the strakes and corners to be more efficient at getting rid of the water. Make it lightweight to be a runner. No fishing frills/special rigging/foo foo bs just a seat, a battery to move around for balance, some controls mounted to a small console, a 25 gal tank and 300 hp on a little bit of setback.

Just dreaming.

A big sail and four pedal powered paddle stations (for calm days) and a rudder for steering.

Best idea I've heard yet. Sounds like you've got a plan there Ridge.

I know of a certain cuddy model that's soon to be stripped down of a lot of excess weight coming available soon.

"OOommphh!" Lotsa work and minimal return. Your still gonna have an inferior pile when all the dust has settled. No way to make all happy. Still waiting on someone to twin.
