what are some custom hulls i should consider?

i like the gator tail boat and motor set up the best but am open to any opinions.

At least 5 mpg and sometimes over 10 mpg - depends on load and
throttle use - the aftermarket carbs burm a bit more fuel but either
way 2 6 gallon tanks will take you over 50 miles with ease...
