wake board boat help

[deathcloud88]

hey everyone. iv been stewing over this for about a year now when i first saw this article http://www.wakeworld.com/getarticle.asp?articleid=516. So am interested in designing my own steel boat, but i don't know much about it. from the pics the hull looks fairly simple but looks can be deceiving. So what am asking is where to find inexpensive information to help form a design and find correct measurements. I'm an experienced welder, and know a little about solidworks and 3d studio max. So any help would be most appreciated and welcome.

thanks Brenton
