Default RE: Rescue Boat project

Cant really get the materials I need to glass, but lucky for me my dad is a wood worker and offered to make the pontoons if i design them and give him the specs. The materials that are going to be used will be some balsa and epoxy. My design will be similar to the pic further up this thread, only I will need to make some stands on the back because Im using airplane props.

But I might try tuse a bogey board too. if i do i will probably cut out 25'' from the front except on the sides, I will keep around 5" on each side, so from an over head view it will look like a U with a thicker bottom.

Any opinions on my ideas, I will probably need new motors for the bogey board though. its pretty big, maybe one 700 motor with a 14x6 or bigger(depending on the torque of the motor)
