I have been doing quite a bit of research on the
subject of building boats and in particular displacement
hulls since I too am in the process of building an
electric boast. one good source of information has been
Glen-L.com. He will provide plans etc to build your own but
more importantly he provide a great deal of free
information. I bought one of his books since I wanted to learn
about the "stitch and glue" method of boat building and
now am in the process of using this information to
built a 16 foot outboard powered electric boat. The
outboard will be of my own design The motor I am using for
this outboard will be a 5 Hp to start but I am
planning on trying several motors and props. The first
thing I need though is an effecient hull to to my
testing. I am modeling my boat after the Lo-voltage one of
the glen-l designs however I am modefying it to
accomidate an outboard. I hope that this helps you with your
endever, good luck<br>Don
