Default Looking for free boat plans...

Hello,

I would like to build a 9 meters motor boat with round form in WEST
technology in which I am experienced on small boat (6mtr). Diagonal strip
lines of plywood should be used with epoxy and finaly laminated with rowing.
Inboard motor is prepaired Mercedes 300D with 90PS. Form should be
displacement/semidisplacement with speed aproximately 10 knots cruising and
12 knots max.. I found od www.tadroberts.com something for studing White
pine, Douglas fir and Yellow cedar, nice forms but still to far from good
plan to start bulding.
So, if you got free plans or good site please notice me.
Thanks.

I don't get it. You want to build a 9 meter boat, which will cost you
several thousands of euros or dollars, but you want free plans???

There are too many people out there who have not hoisted in the fact that you
get what you pay for. ;-)

Although I am biased....

This is not a matter of not wanting to help someone. This is about decent
plans and the price you pay for it. If you want to build a 8 ft or 2 meter
dinghy, there are quite a few free plans out there on the net. And such a
desing would alse make a free plan viable. you can build a plywood dinghy
for a few tens of bucks worth of plywood. However, building a 9 meter boats
is quite different. First, I think you don't find any free plans for that,
and second, like I said before, the price of a decent set of plans is small
compared to the price you end up paying for the materials of the entire
boat. I mean, you can find a decent plan for a 9 meter motorboat for $150
(Woodenboat plan 53, a 32' power cruiser from Eldredge-McInnis). That might
be just 1% of the total cost of building the boat.

That is true, price for plans is not too high but I do not need complete
plans for external and internal works and dimensions of all parts, just hull
form, which is better than many free "boxes" sold as boat. I alredy have
some good forms and get some by my self by measuring few Croatian
traditional boat (very good boats) but I want see and study how to improve
this forms.
Thanks anyway.
Miljenko.

Miljenko, do you have a paying job or do you work for free?
Let's say you are a plumber, will you install my new bathroom for free?
Why not?

Where did you get the idea that a boat designer has to work for you for
free?

You sir are a cheap Cad... but even so.. I do hope you find plans to suit
your needs... And hope they prove to be worth the money you paid for them

You just reminded me of the School Report comment that always makes me
smile:

"This boy consistently sets himself low standards, which he consistently
fails to achieve"
