Newton Plans assistance needed

[poolschool]

I have a set of Newton plans for the 1/8 scale Winstn Eagle 1989 lobster boat (plan no.157) I am a little confused over the rear sponsons. On the first 2 sheets they are shown, but on the framing details page 3, they don't seem to be there. Also the frames for the transom etc will not suit the rear sponsons.

Some help would be greatly appreciated here please.

Thanks

Gino

Gino,

The rear sponsons are like that of an Outrigger Hydro, they will need to be made out of foam/wood construction and adjustable.

Thanks Joe, that makes sense, but on the plans it does show a framed construction?

I still don't understand though what happens to the side of the tub? Will I need to modify it to eliminate the "angle", I've seen pictures of the rear sponson boat having a tub very similar to a rigger with flat sides, not angled so much from the bottom if that makes sense. As far as I can see, this will be a complete redesign of the tub and hull sides than that what is on the plan sheets.

Help please.
