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. |

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.

Meindert 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? -- Jacques http://www.bateau.com "Miljenko" wrote in message ... Stephen Baker wrote in message ...
