Help for shallow boat diesel with idro drive

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:

We want install this jet (One or two):

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!

Gian
