    I would like to build a ten foot hydroplane that would be capable of handling about a 30 h.p. outboard. I have never built a boat before but I have always wanted to do this. Does anybody have any ideas or suggestions on a good set of plans that would produce a fast and fun boat that is designed well?

    Thanks, Glenn
