Paddle Wheel Boat

1/11/2017
Here are my first set of drawings. The first shows the size difference. Going to replace engine with a auto motor converted using a marine conversion kit, extend the side pontoons to fully support the weight of the wheel, add a forward set of rudders so can now steer in reverse, and increase the paddle wheel size to 6 feet diameter with 12" paddles.​

As you can see the bottom of the boat is longer and therefore I can lengthen my trailer to support all of the boats weight. Before the end of the trailer only went as far as the aft of the main cabin. This will also increase the safety factor of other drivers seeing my trailers brake lights. It will also require me to move my tandem axle further back.
