choppy water runner
I had to rethink my build. the body of water I will spend some time running on is pritty choppy at times so I need a boat for that type of situation.
is there any boat plans that are good for choppy water? knowing me I will probably ramp the waves also.
post up, any help is appreciated! !!

Dougs 72" plans handle rough water great. I cut mine down to 60" and the rougher the water the faster the boat. no problem jumping the wake from 18' bow rider either.

RE: choppy water runner
hey Mr.Freeze.
cool just checked out the plans.
but how do I go about printing the plans to the appropriate size? how did you get yours to 60''
and what hardware are you using to run the boat? max speed?

RE: choppy water runner
I printed them out full size and cut them down using a straight edge. It was trial and error at first because I didn't print them at 75%, so this way the the beam and free board remained the same as the full sized but but just 12" shorter.
