Hi All boat builders and others. (i have to excuse my english cause i live in sweden)
So bear with me :))
I have just finished my kids boat a little 10 footer.
Build from scratch without a drawing. It turned out very well.
Now i'm thinking on going ahead with a boat for the whole family and i'm realy like the modern bow riders today.
And i fell that i realy going to use a drawing so it will be easier to build and correct things.
But the thing is with the new ones that they often or almost comes with carbet and so on.
i would rather have a boat that does not include any
carpet, just a plastic interior so i just have to wash it of when i go fishing or the kids totally fills the boat with sand from the beach. ( yeah, i tell them to empty their bukets but how listens to a father ;))
I'm looking for a hull of Glen-l models that can be transformed to look like the boat in the link.
i have checked all plans and photos on the site and the only one that i could think of is SKI BASS.
the length of the boat should be around 5 meters or 18 fot and the wide of the hull should be like 2.5 Meters or 7 to 8 foot (i think i have the right conversion factor here)
i will run my boat mostly in proteckted water shuch as bays and lakes but sometimes i will leave the coast line to head out to the best catch places.
Also i would ile to put a Pylon on this one like a builder of the aqua cat has done as showing on this site. Pylon = rasie the point where you hook up towing line for wakeboard/skiing (if any body dont know what that was) all ideas and pointers are very appricieted and will be taking into concideration.
The link if the post link dont work.
