: Weight-wise you can easily get close. The BP's I built last year (18.5' x
: 19") weighed in at 29-31 pounds fully outfitted. A 19 x 17 surf-ski
: would be comparable. Where the difference will be is in the design. It's
: hard for someone to home-design a craft that will be competitive to a
: factory race hull. For home use, I would design my own. Would I be
: competitive in it? Heck no because the engine would suck! Still, it would
: be nice if someone (anyone) made plans available for a strip-built
: competitive surf-ski. Sounds like a niche to me!

Ok, tried to post the link, but won't work, on Nick's site, go to the Drawing Board section and look at the boat pictured there on the title page, nothing inside about it, but I'd bet it's an outrigger :)
