    i found a hull on a junk yard, conventional v hull speed ski boat 16 footer.

    i want to salvaje the hull will separate deck and dispose of it.

    my question is,,,

    what changes should i do to the hull to make it a shoalowater skiff ?

    should i cut a section and make it more flat bottom, and add a tunel in the back.

    or just the tunnel.

    im assuming this boat used to have a 70 hp engine or bigger,
    i will be using a 25 hp outboard so i have to make this boat light.

    If the hull was on a junkyard it was probably there for a reason, I think that you are going to spend a lot more money fixing it than just buying a second hand good skiff hull
