[QUOTE="Ranchero50, post: 386504, member: 1523"] What is the width at the bottom of the transom? That's how Jon boat width is determined. I would suggest that you read and research as much as possible before pulling the trigger on anything. You really need a plan and a goal. Spend a lot of time thinking and planning. I think I was around 2-3% work, 97-98% thinking when I built my hull (which is stretched out to 17'6" x48"). Without knowing the power plant it's impossible to make relevant suggestions on the layout. Without knowing the hull weight it's hard to suggest a power plant. Weight is the enemy of a jet boat. Wood is heavy, wet insulation is almost as heavy, wet wood is worse. [/QUOTE]
