Good morning ,
I am living in Poland and have a question l wish to buy this boat ( see Fotos ) its a szuwarek 364 it is 72 kg and l have a seagull 40 plus motor, will it push this boat ok.
Thank you Barrie Watson
thanks Phil I dont need to go fast 8 km is enough, its 11,11 foot, they have some funny boats here for river fishing they use 28 foot long 3 foot wide flat bottom boats with 5/6 hp motor and they are very fast.
regards barrie
It is a semi displacement hull and top speed is governed by the waterline length unless you can get it to plane. a small seagull pushed my 14ft very happily and a 6hp suzuki didn't make it go much faster.
Very similar to yours but 150kg.
crescent 42 (13ft 8") though it looks smaller on the water

Very good sea keeping qualities. Loads of freeboard. Doesn't suffer from slap as do many flatter or triple hulls. I don't go out when the weather is rough but I have been caught out a few times and this is a good boat in rough seas.

the boat is now sitting on a trailer in my garden l am looking for a way to build a tent on the boat to be able to sleep and take cover in bad weather, maybe someone here on this forum has some tips, regards barrie

Have a look at " Thames Rowing Skiff tent"
Quite a common thing in its day, you can still hire them on the Thames.
