Speed boats are based on classic wood boat designs.
Plans are available for a variety of yesteryears beauties. Modern materials make for much lighter boats requiring less horsepower and much less maintenance than the original classics. With their light weight, they don’t take a lot of motor to get them moving, and easily pull skiers.

I have to say, motor guys and others have been known to stop-in-their-tracks-and-stare with the boat. It hits holy-crap-wow status with everyone. Good job.
