What kind of horses is the jet unit rated for?

If I am not mistaken, jet drives are a less efficient propulsion system so you might be able to get by with about 1/2 the horse power if converting to an O/B....

Never seen aluminum rust :doh: . I always thought that was reserved to iron based metals.

Best case scenario would be to have it welded. Cut the old weld out, making sure to remove the porosity and simply reweld.

Sorry, I must have misread. I thought it was deeper than that. If I have to, I can just raise the sole an inch or two. Thanks for your response.

What is the freeboard height from chine to deck and if it's desired, can it be lowered? -- similar to that of ph18

Maybe I am missing something :doh: , but I don't see where he has an option listed for a bracket. I see the optional twin outboard motorwell, but no mention of a bracket in the study plans. Am I just overlooking things?

C21 Transom ???

Has anyone ever built the C21 with a full transom and engine bracket? Is this a possible/feasible modification? Any downsides to such a change in construction?
