New to A-Boating and I thinking of building one.
My original thought was to go with a small engine (Rotax setup etc) on a 12'x7'6" hull, but if I go to a Caddy setup I'm sure I would have to go bigger, but I really don't know. Still checking my options before I make a final decision.
Thanks for the help,
Jim



P.S. The Caddy motor in reference belongs to a friend who is selling a Caddy 500 he pulled many moons ago to put in a RatRod, complete engine with tranny/everything there and he has done nothing with it at all/sitting in his garage. I'll find out more tonight how much he really wants, but I heard he maybe asking $500.00 for the entire setup. I know noting about the Caddy engine except for what I have read on here regarding DD applications etc. Also, I no nothing about the tranny or how much I can sell that for/don't need it? Any thoughts on that and recouping some money off of the tranny? Seems like a good deal for the price etc.
Edit to show the info I just found that this is a 425cu, not a 500. Also, with the 425cu the hull size might need to be smaller???
