Possibility of building a reinforced concrete/ferrocement hull in sections

We know because we have put the time and effort into learning. On the other hand, you have the square wheel syndrome. Every expert is a fool because your square wheel is different, therefore better. Instead of being arrogant and making wild claims, show an example that proves me wrong. That would be interesting and I would welcome the lesson.

I can't wait for Monday. A friend is buying an outboard for me.

40kg/40hp production outboard.
While checking boat weights, I came across a 33' catamaran float weighing 80kg. This made me a little happy; maybe I'll be able to build floats in a similar weight.

Am I trying to invent a square circle?

Want to hear about submarines? Or high-altitude kites?

I'll try building a beam out of elevation mesh, styrofoam, and some of this glue. I'll also try epoxy.

You said propeller than go to propeller thread...

Ferrocement was an ideal construction method during WWII due to the shortage of steel. Building in sections is not an insurmountable challenge. We routinely build bridges, large buildings and other structures in sections. I think that there are other materials available at this time that can make a cheaper and lighter boat. However, there are other uses that can make it attractive. For example, floating docks. Caissons are used for underwater foundations. They are floated to the site and then sunk. Until that point they are boats.
