You kinda gotta wing it with a project like this seen lots of stuff on you tube, that would be a good place to start.

Good luck!

i have a 100 percnt home built alum welded 1/8 in and 1/4 in keel 9 ft long 4ft wide boat with a 650 waverunner engine and jet it does 35mph with 2 guys in it and itll run a dried up ditch, nevermind the simonette in october.....thats a breeze. ive taken it on long trips for a small boat (up to 200km) the older yamahas work good because they have there own cast alum intake housing. u just need to build a grate for it to handle the beats and downsize the rock intake. i put a stainless solas race impeller in it which handles the gravel great. theres a cpl vids of some manufactured lund type boats on utube a little teflon and u would have an easy build boat. i evn have pics of a heli long lining me out of a log jam (under the log jam) with this thing. pm me ill be happy to show u the hellbilly or aluminum coffin as its also been called. and give u some insight for some ideas. im in mexico for a while rit now thou. as soon as i get some time ill get some pics on here of it. i

Hey there: As far as a design goes, just go to the building supply store and buy the cheapest wall board you can find. Then take your jig saw and cut out what you think will work, drill some holes around the edges and tie it together with zip ties. That way you get to stand back and look at what the finished boat shape will be. It is a lot cheaper to cut up cheap veneer that aluminum, once you get a shape you are happy with then you have the templates to use for layout and off you go.
