Visit the site http://www.bateau.com/categories.php?cat=27 they have a selection of boat plans that might fit your needs. It wont be a Perfect factory specified boat but if you want to build it then try out their plans.

Obviously this depends on the costs for your contractor in your area and labor.   Materials will vary in price as well. A good place to research that would be at a place such as Home Depot (for your materials)   Once you cost them out, you can shop for lower prices.   Permits also need to be costed in as well as cost for blue prints, septic systems or sewer; whether or not the lot has electric to the boundries or if you have to put in it; etc. Take your time and research it before you settle on a contractor.  There are so many ways to go; stick built, pre manufactured, kit (for log cabins) design simple or complex; single story or townhouse.  I did a lot of research on the internet and was never bored.  Learned a lot.  Have fun.

There are way to many factors to give an answer..\nWhat is the hull design? Weight? What is your goal? top speed?? are you willing to sacrifice your hole-shot for a few mph? approx shaft hp of motor? what RPM range will the motor be operating in?\n\nContact a reputable prop manufacturer. ie Oakland Johnson

Rather than detail such info here, I have gathered several websites to help you on your way. \n \nAs for doing it inexpensively, you can only cut so many expenses, but as you educate yourself on thier general construction and avaialble parts resources; you should be able to id where dollars can be cut back.\n\nIt looks like some wings are available for only $62.00, my estimate for an all told price would be around 200-300.  YOu would need to define your idea of inexpensive to id a possible model for your goal.\n\nI wish you success and fun in your endeavor.  \n\nP.S.  Thanks for mentioning the ZAGI...now I am interested too, they sound like a lot of fun.

It should be depending on your height and weight.  Most wakeboard companies have a chart to get you the right size.  Try www.liquidforce.com.  Another good site for researching wakeboards is www.wakeside.com

The boats are called airboats (there is a pretty good photo gallery of them at http://www.airboats.com/webfolder/ ).  You can get plans for them at the following site:\nhttp://www.airboatsnfish.com/manufacturers.html\n\nHope this helps!

It is cheap to make a surfboard only if you know how to make one. If you dont know how too you will waste a lot of money and it will be a pig in the water. \n\nSurfboards are made out of a foam blank, it is then shaped and a hard fibreglass put over the top. Its not a good job, it stinks and is higly toxic. Walk into a shapers bay and you have a headache after 2 minutes of being in there.\n\nBuy a second hand surboard if you want to save a few dollars. Best option I think.

They make a lantern hanger that cantilevers the lantern over the side of the boat. Basspro has one for 12 bucks.\n\nhttp://www.basspro.com/servlet/catalog.t...

If you can't find them in the classifieds then try and contact canoe outfitters in the area. They will usually sell their overstock and used canoes.\nhttp://www.yellowusa.com/category/Canoes/Baltimore_MD.html \nI hope this helps, Happy Paddling!!!

Depends on time of year and type of boat, 10 to 50$ per day.

break down the cost in Board size new and used.\n\n10-8 ft new $550.00 used $350\n7-8ft   New $495.00 used $300\n6-7ft    New $435   Used $250\n5-6ft    New $400    Used $200.00\nYou can find less but they will be water logged or pretty crappy. That will get you going look for the college kid that bought the surfboard to be cool and never used it. Nice and new and cheep because he is moving to Colorado. g.l

If your BF is really into wakeboarding and can do alot of advanced tricks i would suggest a Ronix board or a Hyperlite board. For Ronix get him the One series, excellent board. For Hyperlite get him a 2006 hyperlite Byerly. Awesome board. For his size i suggest a 139-142 cm. Find a board shop in your area or search the internet and order on-line.

I hate too say, but that one is a tough to answer. To actually build them, probably around $50 but the rest depends on the spokes and hoops you get.
