I have been lurking this forum for a bit now trying to get some inspiration and ideas for what i want to do, and how to do it, when it comes to building a fast and reliable boat. But the more i read the more confused i get, so i need some help to make up my mind and get going.
My goals are as I said to build a reliable and fairly fast boat. The areas I will drive in are a big lake and the sea. Will only be used for calm water situations, but can preferably handle water disturbances created by a breeze. I would like a boat with some size to it, maybe 35-42" range, either cat or mono. Been looking at hulls like Delta Force, Genesis and similar. Speed wise I would like to be able to hit 60 mph, but if this is a bit over the top anything close will do.
As for economy I don't have a set budget, but I would like to do it right rather then dirt cheap. The most expensive setup's are not an option at this stage as I would like to start out with something I can afford to mess around with and learn from, and rather do another build or upgrade later on if I catch the speed boat bug.
My experience level is pretty good when it comes to building, but I do not have any experience with fast boats. I have mostly done scale boats and touring cars so far on and off for the last 20'ish years. If you could point me in the right direction when it comes to the equipment, I will continue studying the build posts and guides on this and other forums until I get the setup right.
Any help you can give me is greatly appreciated!
