Hello Mayhemers,

  Hi,
      Why a Kort nozzle on a Trawler are you going to build a Tug from the hull? For that size of hull (depending what you will be doing with the boat) I would suggest around the 70mm size Kort and 4 blade prop if you want the Kort to work.
      Cheers,
            Faz. :-)) :-)) :-)) :-)) :-)) :-)) :-))

The Brixham Beamers have a single fixed Kort.
Probably Dutch influence.
