I'm not a lawyer, but I would guess that if you buy a set of plans, you can
make changes to it as you build the boat. If you go look at the home plan
websites, you'll see they sell changeable (printed on mylar or vellums) plans
for more $'s than the regular plan (the changables are eraseable so you can
make your changes and you then copy them). I'm not sure if a similar process
is available for boat plans.

I believe you are committed to 1 boat per set purchased though...
