I am looking for assistance in designing a ski boat for disable (wheelchair) slalom waterskiers.
The problem
Current centre mount ski boat whilst have a small wake at able body ski speeds it is too big for wheelchair skiers.
The idea
Could a light weight v nose aluminum punt with centre mount ski boat be the answer.
The fixed paramaters
For competition the following is required.
Centre mount motor
Centre mount ski pole
Boat length 6-6.5m
Must be able to track straight whilst withstanding lateral load of skier.
Min skiing speed 39k(22mph), max skiing speed 58k(36mph)
Thank you
