I'm guessing you mean scaling it in all directions until the length was 15'.

While I can do it in the 3D software, it doesn't translate well into laying out onto plywood sheets.

But I did anyway just for a laugh and it would be about 39" wide with a max capacity of about 550 on board. That's just a direct scale. If I did a different sized version, it's easier to redraw from scratch and make adjustments to make it easier to build and look better.

Someone asked me for a SOT version of the current kids-sized one and I've got that in the works. Also sketched a 10' x 31" version with 300 pound max capacity.

Eventually, I'll get to a 12.5' x 36" version to match the Cobra Fish-n-dive.

it's on the list. I'll see if I can work on it a bit tonight and get a better feel for when it'll be ready. Email me for further details.
