looking at 4x8 to 6 x 12 flat bottom with 45degre bow. I belive the wheels are more efficent than a prop with less slip in the water. I am thinking 6-8 12x12 paddels on 2-6' wheels.
thanks

How small is your "small side-wheeler" going to be? Length, width, displacement, Style (shape) of hull?
Displacement speed limitations are going to be the issue but the dynamics of a side-wheeler are going to be too complicated for anyone to predict the actual speed.
Hi all
I noticed a post earler that referd to a rule of thum "1000W per ton" does this aply to pattel wheelers to? I am thinking about building a SMALL 1 or 2 person side wheeler with 2 eletric wheel chair moters (500W each) and the gear boxes that are atached. Then reduce down with a 3-1 belt reduction.this will give me about 4-5 knots with a 5-6' wheel. I have the speed controll and the joy stick to controll it. Any input?
