Hey how did your desighn turn out with a bigger engine?? I actually desighned a paddlewheel boat with 5.5hp OHV engine last summer and got it plained off at 15mph at times we think it may have topped 20mph but i am currently putting two 8hp briggs and stratton engines on so= 16 total horsepower but i think i can easily get 35-40 mph out of it with my desighn.

@Stirmlost - You must have gotten your gearing about right. The funny thing about planning boats is that the drag force hits a sort of brick wall where V^3 knees up to a sort of asymptote. At this point it takes a disproportionate addition of power to make even small speed gains.
