Greetings from western Norway
I`m researching for a freighter canoe to be used in the fjords and up rivers here
There is something about the lines on the freighter`s that is just good to the eye and in general if it`s been around for a while it`s normally well functionable
The objectives are set due to our weather conditions.
The sunbreeze comes around 5 o`clock at 6 it can be 4 to 5 foot waves 20-30 feet between intervals, the worst are inland lakes with short intervals.
Cruising speed is set due to distance i would like to travel 50 kilometer per hour (25 knts) on 2/3 throttle
Length prefered 16 - 20 ft Beam at least 47 inches
Maximum hp are set to 50 but as little as possible ofcourse
I used to do a good deal of motor boating and we would say an efficient hull would give 30 knts on 30 hp
So the big question, do anyone know of a freighter that has been buildt that can do this? Or can be modified
Any ideas?
