I'd look for a 11 to 12 foot hydro. and you will want one that is designed to handle your expected top end. a hydro will be faster then a runabout using the same motor.

is there somewhere to buy plans to fit what im looking for and also would i need to change the gearcase or can i use the stock one

Would love to see a picture of your critchfield.Awesome boats! Look for a good used D hydro and a short tower if you want to use the hydro.

Check the Hull and Hardware list in the left colume on the main page of this forum. MRC, B&H, or contact one of the builders in your area. Replacing the foot with a racing gearcase will give you more speed. You will probably have to have someone make an adaptor plate and drive shaft to use one.
