First build Outboard powered Dumas deep v 20

[Tico]

Well, I was inspired by a build I saw on another forum of a dual outboard Scarab open fisherman replica. I had always wanted to diols one but every said I was crazy. I first tried to buy a small deep v with tall gunnels and couldnt find one. Then i tried building one from scratch but it didn't turn out well. After hours searching the net I found what I wanted, a Dumas 24 inch deep v boat kit
that had taller gunnels than all the other boats in its size range. Anyways, here are some build pics...

I then filled the 3 forward compartments with foam just in case of an accident

Since I'm gonna go with an outboard, I added another reinforcement to the transom then added some transom knees for strength

I then fabricated an outboard bracket with enough support that I can either hang two small outboards or one big one. It's not finished yet just mocked up. I hope it works!

And finally, I cut out the cross supports so I can make a drop in liner. If i go with a single i am going to model it after a flats/bay boat. If i go with twins, it will be modeled after an offshore open fisherman. Does anyone have any motor suggestions?

Hi Tico

Have been looking for a boat like this to build but have not been able to find plans for it. Do you by any chance have plans for this boat?
