Default building air boat, any tips???

hi everyone. I'm building an air boat out of foam. I tried to build two with wood, but they failed. One of my friends told me about his that he is making out of foam. So i decided to try it. I have the basic shape as u can see in the pics. If anyone has any design modifications they would like to suggest, I'll be open to them. The hull is 36"X20". I have a magnum xl-52 4 stroke with a 11X7 3 blade pusher prop (the prop is not in the pic). I'm not concerned about weight because the foam is so light. I'll try to keep everyone up to date on the build. Please leave a response with tips if you have any.
