Outboard Aluminum Jet boat design

[pendelton]

Hi guys
Wondering if anyone out there had any knowledge of where to find good plans for building a 6degree outboard jet style of boat. These boats are very popular in the pacific northwest. I have done quite a bit of research on finding plans and even pre built hulls. Looking for something in the 22' range and a pre built bare hull runs about $12000. I did find some plans for a white water boat like this, however the plans look like they date back sometime. I am a little stuck on the bottom design. I know most have a one piece bottom and are built on jigs now and cant seem to find any info on how this is done for sure. Also the chine and keep pieces seem to hard to find unless you use old style building techniques. I guess thats a pretty good idea of what I am thinking and hopefully someone out there has some good ideas. Also wouldnt be opposed to buying just a boat bottom and going from there if a builder out there would sell one. I really want to do most of the work so I can design some things the way I want and not how the big builders think they should be and also hopefully save quite a bit.

Thanks all

It is not clear to me, and maybe to others, if you will use a conventional outboard propellor or one with a jet pump unit. I know that's not the focus of your post but it's my question.

I will be using both actually. I have a outboard with the needed items to switch between prop and jet pump.
