Taffy by Charles M. Ungerbuehler

Hi,

I am new bee in boat building and DelftShip as well and last few months I have spent reading about the topic.. finally I decided to build small boat Taffy designed back in the 50’s..
I never used delftShip before but with the help of some tutorials I found here I managed to come this far (with the table of offsets and some diagram of the boat which I have).

Being inexperienced in this field I am not sure did I do everything right size-wize and regarding transferring all the info from table of offsets right.

Would this boat float and should I do anything to make it better/safer on the water? I plan to use it on a sea with 40-60 hp outboard motor (is that enough power for boat like this?)

I would appreciate some advice and help from those of you who know the software better so I could finish hull design print out drawings and start chopping the wood :).

Thanks in advance to all.
