Ok.....Random thoughts..Building a "strawler" or a putt-putt out of a sailboat isn't a new thing. Dad would really like a wee inboard engine. A Northumberland Cape Islander is a thang of beauty. Boatdesign.net is here for a reason and I appreciate it. Iboats is there for people to go buy boats. Outboards are beautiful, especially when you can't see them...in my dad's eye...if I modified the boat in keeping with her lines I could make her lovely. Thanks for the feedback.
