Check out this one, I think it is a database of
boat building sites around the world.

It has thousands of links to information.

Schools, you may be able to find plans for the boat your
wife wants.

Re: decided to build a boat for karly
 

That looks like a great project, with your wood working skills it should come out sweet. What type of design is it, similar to a flats boat?

Re: decided to build a boat for karly
 

willy its sorta like a chicken breasted barnegat bay garvey..... I believe the boat will weight approx 450 lbs.
Iam gonna start building the cradle for it tomorrow if it dont rain ;D ;D ;D

Re: decided to build a boat for karly
 

What no garage??

Bulid one at the same time!! just make sure that you make the door big enough to get the boat out after!! ;)

I have always wanted to build a boat but never got around to it.

Good Luck!

Re: decided to build a boat for karly

Re: decided to build a boat for karly

Re: decided to build a boat for karly

Re: decided to build a boat for karly
 

he probably has not started yet, he is too busy cleaning that V of his ::) ;D

Re: decided to build a boat for karly
 

I agree with ya CY. To much polishing on that V. ;D

Re: decided to build a boat for karly
 

believe it or not I just had the tree in my driveway cut down so now i dont have any excuses..... :P :P :P

Re: decided to build a boat for karly
 

wow and we thought you were only building it from lumber not cutting down a tree and then ripping it to planks for the boat lol.

Re: decided to build a boat for karly
 

lol ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

Re: decided to build a boat for karly
 

Great plan. I remember helping my Pop build a lil'16' runabout when I was about 10. Some very good memories. I still can smell the mahogany sawdust when I think of it. We use hand saws, old time brace and a yankee screwdriver.

Re: decided to build a boat for karly
 

You get started yet LS?

Re: decided to build a boat for karly
 

Thought these were interesting.

Never seen this style without the "optional gunnals".

Re: decided to build a boat for karly
 

Tey have them all over th place here!! Very low draft, small motor all you need and they are great in all the bays and rivers.

Re: decided to build a boat for karly
 

I bet that boat rides like a........well, like a flat bottom boat.

Re: decided to build a boat for karly
 

Its wide. And cheap. And inexpensive to operate. Sounds like a good boat to me. :D

Re: decided to build a boat for karly
 

I'd take one, but I think I would spring for the gunnals. The tops of those sides wouldn't last long with my crew.

Re: decided to build a boat for karly
 

I agree on the gunnels...also would like the center console rather than a tiller steer.
