Do a web search on wood boat plans and you will get many such as bateau.com
and glenl.com and many others Wooden boat Magazine has ads for their plans
plus plans from, other advertisers.

I would like to get started in building boats.
Could someone suggest a book of plans that would be good for a beginner
builder?

I am looking for plans for a hydroplane for now with ideas on going with
other styles later.

I have tried a couple of items off ebay, just poorly scanned old
magazine articles.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank You
Bob

I would like to thank you and Kiyu for your advice.

I looked at some of the plans on the sites you recommended and think I
will order from them. I have the feeling that the plans will be a lot
easier to follow than just scans from magazines, at least for starting out.

I assume that they will be a little more detailed.
