What kind of hull do you have in mind?
As a side note, nitro and gas are two different things and a lot of times, the difference in the size of the boats. The gas guys are a fickle bunch. To us fuel burners, gas is for getting to the race and nitro is for racing. :)

i bought a hawk 7.5 figured that i better try something that comes with plans and the wood and instructions before i try to build something just out of my head but when i do i was thinking somthing like this http://www.fralickboats.com/images/gallery/22_ash.jpg
i know its not an r.c. but i can scale it down and i'd like to put an out board nitro on it but im not sure what size

If you want to get into gas and do some building how about trying out these guys.

They make the hulls and sell all the HW for offshore type gas boats. Buying the hull premade makes life alot easier and the hull is tested to be a good handling boat. But by not buying a complete kit you can still build your own boat. Just a thought

The recommnded settings are just that, a starting point. depending on a lot of factors including temperature, himidity and altitude, your settings will differ.
