Aeromarine Conquest 44

[Andy Nightingale]

Has anyone got the setup notes for the Conquest 44? I've acquired an unstarted hull that doesn't have the plan with it

I have built and owned quite a few Conquest's.

Most any instructions you find are dated. Many ways to build the boat.

My favorite I think is,

Put the engine as far forward as you can get it.

Standard 90° header.

Put strut cat outside the transom set 9/16" above the bottom running surface.

4" standoff with straight blade rudder.
