Now this small aluminium has the right design and is cheap enough that you could spend some extra money in bracing, http://www.kijiji.ca/v-canoe-kayak-padd ... nFlag=true |

Aluminum is a must...steel is much to heavy. You need a 14' starcraft wayfarer. Or the bottom half of a Critchfield.... |

If you're going to abuse it, what would you buy, welded or riveted? |

It is a lot of time and money. They use only the shell of the original hull and modify it. That being the case I think it is more important to start with a hull will the bottom design and hull length that would work. That is why I like the $150.00 boat on an earlier post. http://www.kijiji.ca/v-canoe-kayak-padd ... nFlag=true https://www.redbull.com/au-en/how-to-ma ... at-go-90km I do like the Starcraft if I was going to a large hull. I really like the Wolf Frontier models...these boats are built in BC. The prices start at $2700. Sizes start at 12 feet. They have some of the features needed for a raceboat already in the boat. http://www.wolfboats.com/images/boats/W ... ontier.jpg http://www.wolfboats.com/open.php http://www.wolfboats.com/ |

Not a tin boat, but this 10 foot fiberglass is interesting. http://www.kijiji.ca/v-powerboat-motorb ... nFlag=true |

I picked up my tinnie last weekend, an alumacraft 1448 MV, it has a 20" transom it's rated for a 25 HP but never been one to under power a boat. Do you guys think a twin 40 OMC short shaft would work on this? |

YeeHaw You might want to consider a hydraulic steering damper. Mercedes damper from and ML350 works nice. |

That's good news Tom. It's a good thing I have an OMC twin short shaft 60 on hand. If a Tohatsu 50 would good to go then my 60 will be fantastic. Do you think the tiller handle from my triple 60 will bolt on? |

I'm no expert on OMC tiller handles but TunnelV should know, he did a retrofit. |
