Default Help needed for custom "kiddy" boat

Kiyu,
Great site and thanks much for the link.
I have another question for all the builders out there. Is it Ok to take
the plans for a full size boat and just "shrink" it to the size I want?
Looks is one thing but I also want something that is safe for the kids.
Thanks again
Bruce

I would like to build a small (6-10') wooden boat for my grandchildren

would like it to look like an old runabout with mahogany decks and such.

I
plan on using an electric outboard for power with shop made controls to

cockpit.
Does anyone have any idea where I might find plans for such a craft or

any
ideas in general.
Any help would be appreciated.

You might look at an 8 footer for kids called Bebop at

May not be exactly what you want but is worthlooking at.
