Save your money buy some plywood and get some plans,if you want plans for a deep vee i have a cpl somewhere on pdf you can print at home,my friend built this one for a small nitro motor but electric would work also and you could build it for arround £15 -£20 including glue.

If your not good at cutting plywood id suggest making her from balsa then skinning the hull with some very light glass cloth and resin,i made a cpl of nice hulls that way,one was a sailboat the other a pt boat.
