Default jet ski hull to scull conversion?

Forget it. A scull gains its efficiency by being narrow and longer than the
displaced wave length at its maximum speed. A jetski hull is WAY to short.

right! the jet ski is short and yes the back yard has a debris pile of
jet ski's and hobe hulls-another conceptual design over.
and sail boards sans coaming but carrying excessive rocker
cost effectiveness is basic, once the resin cloth and OARS approach
used canoe, the idea falls short.
i tried raising money-this is a manatee project-but no success with
that as reaching past those living off donations is difficult
