Could one convert an old speed but hull into a mould for a rib ?
Bearing in mind the plug would be altered by 50 percent.. or more ???

most of the ribs in the country have come from speed boat hulls!!!

Speed boat hulls do not look a very deep vee.

Will that make a difference in speed or stability .
Or both.

Will turning at speed be a problem if a speed boat hull is converted to a rib hull .
