Default weedwacker boat

What kind of boat do you think would be the best to put a weedwacker engine in?

I have a Ryobi 32cc air cooled in a 44" deep vee. Runs like a dream with good acceleration and very stable in the water.

Ive got a 21cc Hoffco weedeater engine on a 42 ince deep V and I love it. Its not pretty but its a lot of fun, Im not sure what speeds its capable of, but it sure seems fast to me.
An engine that big would scream in a deep V.

Pending on your motor as to what kind of performance you can expect and also , what size hull . As the rest suggested , a deep vee ( mono ) would be the best suggested especially for someone new to boating . ( deep vee's are SUPER play boats and are very forgiving if you goof setting her up ... )
