Which engine should I use??

[Mr.Design]

Hey Guys...I've been reading your replies and they're so helpful!!! thanks for that.

I just want to apologise for the typo error the speed is actually 35 knots on petrol NOT 5 knots...sorry my bad!!

Also guys any Layout plans or ideas of how this 20 feet fishing boat would look like. From your replies it sounds like there's no room on this thing to fit 2 adults!!..lol

Keep the replies coming!!

Here's one I know:

and it's still running 28 years later... with a bit of added epoxy here and there

Runs 25 MPH at 2500 RPM so about 80 to 90 HP from a 350 GM V8. It will do about 40-45 wide open but that hasn't happened since the last time I tried to ski barefoot 10 years ago... Hmmm. I USED to be able to do that

It's fine for two used-to-camping-out people. I've had 8 aboard for a 15 mile run, 3 standing, 5 sitting...

Dunno about how many can fish, it skips a Generation in our family. My Dad and my Sons Do It
