A half would be perfectly acceptable Alan, providing it's the top half :hehe

Seriously, I'll see if we have the drawings tomorrow and get back to you.... We wouldn't want to see a paddler languishing in a workshop due to lack of information would we?

Well I dug out the drawings for the Lulonga, and guess what, it doesn't actually show a waterline!

The only thing given on the plans is a displacement of 12Lbs, and from the ones I've seen sailing, the waterline is about three quarters of the way up the hull to the lower deck.

So it's not a definite answer, but I hope it helps a little Alan?

Regards
Eddy

Thanks for your trouble Eddy, ill work on that information.

Just ordered two of the 200 rpm motors from Kim. When I get them ill order the other gear from Motionco, after first running it past you to make sure it's the right. If that's OK
