    Hey! I have been looking for plans to build a 12-16 foot boat. It must have a displacment hull, draw very little water and operate on a small 5hp outboard. I need some ideas. I looked at the flat skiff 14 but it was a bit wider than I wanted. Any ideas?

    Sounds like a traditional rowing skiff with a motor bracket added, if you ask me. They're designed to be efficient displacement hulls that do well with very little power.
