Looking for designs / plans for a basterd canal boat
Looking for a hull design, preferably steel, to cruise canals (Erie,
Champlain, Chesapeake/Delaware) ICW with performance to handle Lake Ontario, Lake Champlain and short stretches of coast Atlantic. Thinking something in the 24-25 ft range, 8-8.5' beam (heavy trailerable, 5000# range). Have been looking at Mr. Gardners' Modified' St. Pierre Dory hull but am open to suggestions. Thanks (TIA), Wayne Cheney |

I don't think you'll find a better designer than Bruce Roberts for your
needs. Here is an example http://www.bruceroberts.com/public/H...escription.htm Have Fun Brian Cornish "WayneC" wrote in message t...

Here is an example http://www.bruceroberts.com/public/H...escription.htm Have Fun Brian Cornish Thanks for your reply Brian. I agree, checked with Bruce Roberts first thing and the last time I did I didn't see what I was looking for. The Waverunner is to large to trailer. The Longboat would be ideal but is only available in fiberglass. After your reply I followed your link back to BR's site for another look around I stumbled over the Coastworker 25 in the 25 ft x 8 ft planing hull (Trailerable version). This looks like it would fit the bill or is at least a close approximation. Before ordering the study plans I would like a little more info (specs and performance) on it and have requested same from BR but if anyone here has any info on the Coastworker 25 I' appreciate it. Still looking for other designs ideas as well. Thanks, WayneC |
