Point 1...please only post your question in one forum...almost everyone who might wish to answer will find it. What are your qualifications in design?...Do you have any experience in boat building?...this might help us to determine where to point you.

The forum search function is your friend:

Students building & testing a single-person WIG "skimmer"

WIG spit chord question

Air boat style airplane boat

Studing WIG (Wing In Ground Effect)

And many, many more threads where ground effect craft are discussed.

Using the search terms "WIG" or "Wing in Ground Effect" should reveal as much as you might want to know. Suffice to say that they are not easy to get to work well, and be auto stabilising in pitch (a key requirement).
