Re: Anybody built a cabin cruiser?
Bill,<br /><br />I've been trying to print the plans, but even on 11X17, the plans are cropped. Guess I need to figure out how to use on of the plotters, and come in early to crank them out C-size.<br /><br />This will be a winter project if I tackle it. I still need to finish the pair of canoes I haven't yet started ;-) <br /><br />If'n I get the zodiac a co-worker is selling, I'd plan to take the 40 hp off of it, and use it on the Eve. If I was to buy new motive power, I think a 50 hp honda would be a perfect match.<br /><br />I was also thinking about doing away with the motor well, and haning the motor out back. First thought was the advantage of the well is it keeps the motor and prop away from fishing lines. Second thought is, if the prop gets wrapped up in something else, it'll be major grief getting it unstuck with the motor in the well. Me thinks hanging it off the back is the better route, I could care less about trying to make it look like an i/b. <br /><br />Considering our states propensity to rain, I have the feeling the zodiac will loose it's charm after a season or two, and a cabin boat will be much more enjoyable to take out.
