    Hi,
    I have designed a deck boat hull, which I want to convert it into multipurpose variation. Paddle boat to Outboard motor. Looking for kind feedback regarding pros and cons of the design.
    Below is attached is real time rendering of hull boat for inspection.
    Thank you.

    The hull forms of a paddle (wheel?) and an outboard will be quite different shapes. Getting "kind feedback" about the "pro's" of this concept will be easy, though I doubt you'll learn much. It's analyse of the things you haven't considered or thought of (the con's) that will be most helpful, so you can address issues you may not have realized are there.

    Okay, a Garvey hull form. What are the general parameters for this hull? Target speed ranges, weight, etc.?

    Its a client paddle boat, they wanted it like deck boat style with paddling system. 4 seater, Approx average person weight 80 kg.
    Boat dimension:
    Beam: 7 ft
    height:3.5 ft
    Length: 10 ft.

    Max speed is not their concern, they want to chill in there lake with good food. storage and fishing equipment.
    Below is the final design draft.
