I 100% agree with Evan, it's the depth that matters.

Sorry for the delayed reply: I was out of town, on a boat with no internet access.
yes will 80 mm enough? and can motor I've shown be used or do I need more HP?

I liked the idea of using a rotex engine from salvaged PWC, but since I use a straight shaft prop and not the jet what kind of gearbox should I put behind that to achieve a reverse ?

Find out what the designer specified and it will give you the rpm at the shaft. Work from there BUT those Rotax turn at high rpm and I don't think you will find a gear box to reduce it enough.

So it's not that easy? motor is gonna give me a headache I think, was nesting the frames today, did the best I could, still I used way more wood as I thought I would 8O just enough or just not enough material left for the straight stringers, we will see.
Since it's possible that this is becoming a build thread, and that it is not a Bateau build, maybe the webmaster can move it to the appropriate topic forum, or not?

Jacques what are you thinking for the stringers? I was thinking also single 8 mm or maybe 2x 6mm laminated? and how many stringers ? 2 , 3 or 4? :doh:
