Hola Roberto,
I have a K-250 and a set of plans, but most everyone these days puts
trolling motors on them, so that part of the design typically doesn't apply
any longer. But anyway, what is the question? Just pose it here, and if any
of us have an answer we'll respond.
BTW where are you? If anywhere near an existing PSUBBER with a K boat, it
can be constructive to just pay a visit.
Best,
Alec
