Insanity or genious?

Well, I tried.

This boat will be use on a calm water lake in Keystone lake Oklahoma

When you go to launch that boat post up here. I'm not to far away from Keystone and I wanna come watch the show.

I'll Send you a message 3 weeks before field test

I have seen similar 'projects' in the fla keys.

mac 21 with ~25hp IIRC.

-but you removed the ballast. that's totally unsafe! (top heavy)

you'll need to add some weight (concrete?) (or fuel tanks) to the bilge to keep it stable.

-don't count on sailing in only calm conditions. because weather does change.

also you'll need to reinforce the transom. for the extra power...

Yes. I'm trying to get better stability and for that a field test would take place to determine what to do. I'm exchanging emails with experts in the hull design field to correct the issue and meet safety standards based on multiple variants. The engine mounts are not pretty but was tested with 500 pounds with no problems before I even install the 9.9hp engine.
About the ballast you are right. But first I need to install the 5000W generator, 60 gal. air compressor, Electric water heater, Air conditioner, Microwave, refrigerator, external cooler, stove top, and a 17 gal. aluminum marine fuel tank to determine weight needed and experiment with the ballast where is needed (front, center or rear depending on weight distrubution) Thank you srust58 for your interest.

Fun idea but hopefully you can / will take it out for a test float before putting much more work and money into it. Just to make sure it floats upright with two or more people standing on the side deck.
