There used to be little boats called sea fleas that went quite fast with
very little power and were easy to build

Hello:

I am looking for a set of plans for a group of High School students to
build a small, fast, and stable power/speedboat. It should not go much
faster than 30mph, feel much faster, be stable in a chop and in turns,
hold one person, and be appropriate for being build by 10 students in
about quarter of a year with one hour of building time per day. I would
like to experiment with the engine to run as environmentally friendly as
possible. Budget: $1500. Used engines could be available. I have never
build a boat, but have plenty of construction and mechanical experience.

Any recommendations for plan sets?
Outboard or inboard? Why?
Any other tips/links/etc?

Thank you so much!

Karsten
