    well then copy some ones bottom dimensions and configuration and
    go for it
    the top cap can be any configuration you like

    all we are saying is it is tricky not impossible

    here's a bottom you can look at
    its 20' by 8' i made this one just cut the dimensions down and your good to go

    Thanks alot i'll use this, if you have any pictures and maybe even some pictures of construction or dimensions that would be cool too.

    ok then
    its got a 6 " flat pad and a 10 degree dead rise and the first set of chines are 26" from outside to outside
    the step is 10" deep and around 6" high the transom is 20" tall

    if i was you i would stay around 6 1/2 to 7' foot wide minum and then go 16 or 17'

    the pad and chines i would leave as i said

    have fun
    i would use okume ply wood or berch and clear fur for stringers

    put the fuel tank in the back about 4' in front of the transom under the deck

    good luck have fun
