The boat is made of extruded polystyrene foam and fiberglass. Length 3.25 m, width 1.1 m, transom height 0.4 m, side height at midship 0.45 m, at the bow 0.5 m. It is planned for use in displacement mode with outboard motors from 3.5 to 6 hp. Perhaps I will try to test under 9.8 hp. In the future, I plan to finish the retractable floats (outriggers) in the bow and possibly in the stern. The boat will look like a "water strider". Initially, the floats were planned in the central part of the boat. But in order to increase free space, I moved the guide tubes under the floats to the bow and stern of the boat. In the distant plans, I plan to test the boat as an airboat on ice. That is why I messed around with skis on the bottom. As protection against abrasion, I installed 20x2 mm aluminum strips on the skis and bow bulb with screws. p/s/ Since the boat did not fully meet my expectations, it was dismantled and scrapped. Although the technological solutions suited me. It happens, mistakes are inevitable. I will continue to search for hull contours that suit me.
