Has anyone done this and what would be a comparable horsepower/speed rating to an 80 horsepower outboard?
I expect the price to go down significantly on the price of jetskis at the end of this summer and I keep on missing all of the deals on 80-100 horse outboards.
I like the styling of the rebel and the plywood sheet contruction but is there a maximum hull length recommended for a jetski hull?
From all of your guys personal experiences would you recommend a flat hull or a vee hull, keep in mind I will most likely run this boat on the ocassional river and every so often on the bay of san diego, but used mostly in the gulf of mexico at it most northernly shores.
I have literally spent weeks reading the forum and oogling all the wonderful boats you guys have built and think that I will be ordering the plywood/fiberglass/DVD special and the plans for the Glen L rebel within the next week or so. I want a fun family boat that we can enjoy for a few years. I will be doin a bare budget build and dont want to take a year to build.
I just need a project that the family can enjoy when I am done. I think that the rebel is a good size and can hold the wife and son as well as enough "stuff" for a day on the water.
Does anyone else have any input?
Let the adventure begin!
