Hey John, I know it is a long way from what you were asking, but I would like to offer $100. I don't mean to hurt your feelings with this offer and you certainly won't hurt my feelings if you tell me to jump in the lake!

Thanks!

I would be alot of work to do it but you could trace all your parts onto a sheet and then go to a print shop and enlarge them 40%, the 36 inch hull would be 50.4 inches long. Then cut them all out of wood. I think it would be a great gas boat.

I have a kit and may do that before I build it for a 40 power boat.

That sounds like a great plan John...maybe someone will make you a better offer if you let it sit for awhile.
I'm in no hurry, so just let me know!

Thanks!
