27 Ft. Motor Boat

[acelisjr]

I bought the plans for the 27ft. MB and I'm still playing the options of either a stern drive or outboard motor. Pros and Cons and details of installation? What is the maximum horsepower the boat design take? Can I power this with 2 - 300 hp engines? Please advise. Thank you.

I am still waiting for an answer to the questions. Is this the support we can get from this site????

I''ll send an email to Morten and tell him about your question.

Thank you for your question. I am sorry I didn't see your message before.

You could go for an outboard mounted at the transom. You would have to make some adjustments since the design is made for the outboard in a transom, but the changes are limited and pretty much straight forward I think.

60 hp is the maximum I recommend for this design.

A stern drive is much to install in this design. I am not even sure there is room for the engine and drive in the hull, so I would not recommend this for the boat. If you want an inboard engine I can recommend using a sail-drive instead of a stern drive.

Kind regards,
Morten
