Yes...

Call Jerry Davids. He has built some real good J Hydros.

I got a kit from Bill Giles a few years ago, and my son had lots of success with that boat. He could help you out with the measurements. If you get the numbers from him send me an email and I can give you the other numbers that we changed slightly to run J.

Its always fun to build a boat with your kid for J so they appreciate it more. Contemporary J boats are simply A boats with the motor moved farther back. Bottom widths can be 35 or 36 inches, it doesn't seem to matter.

J plans

I dont have plans yet , I am looking at several design and like to compare to see what is common between them and what some of the best designs have that makes them work. I took this approch when my 125 was built and it seems to work very well.
