[QUOTE="86tuning, post: 444555, member: 23006"] turbotodd, thanks for the tips. I may have found a reasonable deal on an older XL800. Will see how far it takes me. Would prefer a 4-stroke with EFI but they're out of my budget at the moment. First need a physical proof of concept, then may do it again in a season or two. Champagne taste, but beer budget. I had thought about sportjets, but they're quite a bit taller from what I can see. I'm hoping to tuck everything under a low rear casting deck. The o/b on my other boat is a mercury 75 and it's great! But heavy. Next, have to switch the MIG welder to aluminum wire and argon, then learn to weld aluminum. My paper models are beginning to look reasonable. Will go with 9-10° constant deadrise, and run the delta plate all the way forwards to the bow seam. Looks like that will make for the simplest build. Also getting a quote from a local sheet metal shop that has a 24ft press brake to do the four bends of the hull. See you on the water! [/QUOTE]
