Default .074 NORVEL POWERED FLYING BOAT

Hello all,
I have never built a flying boat & wanted to inquire about some general info concerning the build of a 1/2A boat
I am flying a SIG LIL Rascal with .074 Norvel & it is well powered & was thinking about putting together a high wing flying boat with the motor attached atop the wing. What are the ideal locations/proportions for a good flying boat?
The LiL Rascals dimensions are what I'm using as a guide
Is there a rule of thumb for the step in the hull as far as size/distance?
Typically are the wings removable?
What are the hulls typically made from? (formed plastic/covered balsa/mono-coat?)
Any advise will help
