Futura 3.8FR length 11'6", width 6'0", int length 8'4", int width 3'0", weight 144lbs, max OB 20hp, load capacity 1534lbs.
There may be variations over the years with Furura models but the Aerotec stayed the same in these specs... except for the last few years they shortened the cones so its nearer a Bombard 365 but they never changed the name.

Just refurbished a Futura 380 FR airdeck and i must say, she is great. Not as wet as i was anticipating, as the tubes are quite big.
Use a 4hp for on the river and swap to a 20 for the sea .. transom plate suggests 25hp is the max, but as she is old, i figure a 20 is about as big as i want to go.
