I bought a 13.5' fiberglass hull from a guy for cheap. I fixed a couple of holes in it and am laying some interior down. Now, without any interior installed, this thing is heavy. It took everything in me to pull it 8 feet to my workspace. No trailer yet, you see.
It's set up to use an outboard with front steering. I'll figure all that out later, but my issue at the moment is trying to figure out how many horses this thing would need. Like I said, it's pretty heavy. I would say easily over 300 lbs. Any ideas or suggestions would be greatly helpful. I'm planning on using it for weekend camping trips in Puget Sound during the summer. So me, my wife, two kids, and some gear. Probably an extra 600 lbs between all that.
