hi,Bushmen.This boat is glass over foam.Its my one-off design.there is no water rudder on this boat.it is not required.as long as motor is runnig at anything more than idle boat will react violently to full control deflection.at idle will still turn,just takes a sec.the gunnells[sides],are angled to promote loosness.also bottom,intentionally dimpled.this is like a better quality wake-board,dimpling causes more air to go underneath board,losening it up out of the suface tension that is created on the waters surface.The boat has about 60 hours on it from new.I built it for my girl friends son who has since lost interest.it is not stupid fast,but not slow either.looks cool and scale when used.could be easily retro-ed with the poulan 44cc chainsaw motor.that would be stupid power. boat is 42'long,20'wide,and 18'tall. I already have a zagi,don't really see a need for two,though great fun,for the price.hold for more pics.
