Do you know the hull drag at design speed?

Have you decided on a gear ratio?

Have you a preferred cadence?

Do you know how much power you want design for - how many people, how fit, male or female etc?

Easier to make from steel than wood. You should be able to make one in about 6 hours.

If you provide the above information or enough to allow me to work it out I will give you a prop design.
