Anybody know of any plans preferably stitch and glue, for a small 13-15 foot sport boat with a similar shape or performance as the 13 foot sport whalers, trihull design? Or any other suggestions for small, light open fishing boat, preferably not a pointy hull or single V, but not flat bottomed either, that would fish one person, and fly with a 25 horse? Thanks in advance for your suggestions. NOTE: I have a lot of experience with resin and cloth/glass and good wood working capabilities/shop and have done stitch and tape too, so I can take on a more difficult build without much problem. What you want is called a "garvey". There are plans in the two books by the late Thomas Firth Jones which you might find at the public library or can purchase via his website at www.jonesboats.com if it's still there. Or you could try searching the Internet for "garvey" which I have not done so can't say what will turn up. They are simple high performance planing hulls apparently popular among fishermen along the New Jersey shore. Jones compares them to Bosotn Walers. |
