Hey everbody---thanks for the sources  I will keep you posted.
To: Ann Muir-- the catalog sounds exactly like what I'm looking for.
I've been to the library and about all I could find were a few
runabouts that were really outdated.  Also if anybody knows a source
for jet-ski type jet units, I'm leaning towards that for power.  I've
got a buddy that bought a duck hunting boat with a snowmobile engine
hooked up to one that works quite well.  I was thinking of getting a
little more sophisticated than he has but liked the jet boat idea.  
Any suggestions Pro or Con???  I'm afraid to ask about the cost vs. a
standard outboard but I was thinking it might be great to use on some
of the little lakes in my area.  (shallow spots, rocks,etc...)
Again   Thanks for the help.
