Default SPAD Airboat

Hey all, I haven't posted here in a while, been pretty busy with work. However over the past 2 days I have constructed a new hull. I did this rather hastily and any future hulls will be more refined. 4 mil coroplast was on sale for $2.99 for a 24" by 48" sheet, the CA cost me more than the coroplast!!! My hull measures 16" wide by 31" long. It has a 10" center ride section with 56 degree tapers to the edge. At the front I have over lapped the piece of coroplast so that the flutes run in the direction of travel and would create air bubbles underneath the hull. here are some pics.
