I am seeking almost any kind of 11 or 12 ft long hull to install a 25HP Kohler VTwin into via
the use of an inboard prop shaft etc. What I am effectively wanting is a cheaper to run
( and acquire) substitute for a Personal Watercraft. I am strongly influenced by the Racing Crab Skiffs
up in New England whereby they are using 20 ft long skiff hulls that are 42 inch at their widest and
using Honda and Briggs 20 HP engines via an inboard setup.
Hopefully we can find affordable components used by some of the other commercial inboard products
and adapt to the recreational use Kohler 25 hp PWC project.
Or better yet someone might have some ideas of how we can take off the shelf components from
some other application ( like Go-Kart Rear Axles and sprockets etc ) to build up a workable and
reliable solution.
here are some photos of the racing CrabSkiffs
Especially also please suggest other locations on the internet where I can learn more about inboard propulsion designs and setup in
the 10 to 35 hp range.
