I think what you need to do is be more specific about the styling, use and hull form you're after. Glen-L offers everything from a classic warped bottom, mini runabout (single or twin cockpit) to, shallow and deep V's and even 3 point hydro's, so I'm not sure what else to suggest without some additional guidance.

As far as styling goes, you can change pretty much anything, making it look like something else.

Looking for something like this Mini Speed Boats - YouTube
and or this Mini Hawk Boats - YouTube and only single engine and possibly twin hull cat type so its more stable.

This is Bullet, found in the Ken Hankinson section over at Glen-L and looks pretty much just like the mono hull versions of the boats you want. The arch was added by the builder and it seats two.



There are others over there, including a cat or two. It's a misnomer that cats are more stable then monos, especially when it gets rough, you hit a wake or it gets choppy.

You do realize this is a very small segment of the powerboat market, so plans will be slim pickings.

Hi
Been looking at that one i like it alot and looks like it will cut throw some chop to.
And thanks for the people probably going to go with the glen l bullet.

The Bullet is a Ken Hankinson design, which is exclusively sold by Glen-L. It has a fair bit of bow flare, so she'll be as dry as a boat like this can be. As for cutting through chop, don't get real excited about this ability, as the entry angle on this boat is pretty bluff, by modern standards. It needs to be, to support the weight of crew and outboard in such a small package, so a nice fine entry to slice through chop, is sacrificed a bit to accommodate this need. You'll do well with a Bullet. There are many built and lots of fun.

I know that its not going to cut throw big chop but im talking about one foot chop nothing to big just wake from it self and other small boats. This is the style of boat im looking for just trying to find a couple more similar designs before i buy the plans.

Look up the Runabout 12 over at Bateau.com - boat plans on line since 1993
