Ahhhhhhhh........ I don't know.
That's half the fun of a prototype. The guys at the boatdesign group
ran her through "Hulls", and her hull speed keeps going up as you add
length. Time will tell.
No, I'm staying at the 9.9. Under Canadian regs, a vessel with under
10 hp doen't need to be licensed. I will run her around to the Coast
Guard shack on a calm day (6 miles in Lake Ontario) to get a Safety
Inspection sticker off them, once they stop laughing.

Bruce, that photo "TIMS full speed ahead" looks very interesting!Surprisingly she/he(Timmy)looks quite good and seems to be moving along quite nicely!
Do you plan to use a larger HP outboard when more units are lashed or bolted together?, as at your hoped for 90'+ length won't the drag caused by the extra surface area of the extra "Modules" be too much for a 9.9 to move? or isn't that important?
Look forward to seeing a "Longer" Timmy!
