Help for shallow boat diesel with idro drive

[Gian Milan]

Hello everyone and thank you for welcoming me to the forum.
My name is Gian and I'm from North Italy.
I'm owner of a little company (13 workers) specialized in manufacturing stainless steel and aluminum.
Our skills are TIG welding, CNC bending, drawing in 3D and waterjet cutting; but we don't know how to make the keel of a shallow boat for river!

For a long time I want a boat like the SJX, but in Italy and Europe are not imported or produced; I'm sure you know this USA baots:

Boat has to be able to navigate in rivers similar to :

Can you help me for design or give me an email adress of a professional designer specialised in shallow water with pump drive?


Sorry for precarious English and thanks to all!
