Prefer wood. I just don't have what it takes to build one and the plastic boats don't do it for me. I am interested in a boat or just the hull/deck.

anything specific? if you got the plans i can cut it for ya for a price.
laser cut it*** haha
i can cut it and put it together, ill charge material costs and shipping and little bit of labor...
if you HAVE the plans...
I don't have any plans. What I'm thinking I want is a little offshore deepV A cross between a mini rio and a mini v I want it to handle waves but be stable. Will run bl and don't need to go faster than 20mph.

I have some MHZ Geckos (13" I think) that handle rough water well and absolutely rip with a $26 Chinese motor/ESC combo on a $20 1350mah 2S LiPo. I think they are great and highly recommend them. Just to make this post clear, I have no plans to sell either of my Geckos, they're just too much fun. Rather my intent in this post is to recommend them if the Mini-V and the Mini-Rio don't have what you seek.
The one-piece fiberglass hull comes with the rudder, stuffing tube, driveshaft and motor mount installed for somewhere around $145 if I recall. Not cheap, but still a good deal considering the completeness of the bare hull and hardware. 'Glass work on the hull is excellent. A couple of hours of work could have you on the water.

The MHZ mini Fountain is another boat to consider then.
something like this perhaps? http://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showthread.php?t=854832 hth

No, That is 18" long and I already have a dumas deepv 10 that is a much nicer looking boat. I want smaller/lighter to run a 380 bl motor.
Thanks
