Make the deck about 2 inches wider than the prop you are going to use . When you scale the plans up let the other dimensions come out as they may . It usually ends up that the lenght is a little more than twice the width .

I would go aprox. 34"-36" long by 17"-18" wide. I would make a closed deck aprox. 1 1/2"- 2" above the bottom of the hull filled with styrofoam or some other floatation material. Any smaller and you will have a wingless airplane not an airboat unless it weights out like a brick. JMOA. Dennis
