Hi Guys
Will be starting to build one of Mike Luszcz's kits in the next few weeks. I'll be running a CMB greenhead in it and believe I'll need to incoporate a belly plan nothing else to give the engine more clearance under the cowl, as well as lowering the centre of gravity.
I'm aware of the max allowable dimensions for a bellypany, but would like to know if there are any general rules around the clearance I should allow from Sponson bottom to underside of the belly pan?
I suspect that on some boats the bellypan when built to max allowable size based on the rules will hit the water in some conditions? Or am I being paranoid?
Cheers
Bob
