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 atwww.jonesboats.comif 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.

Yes, Gardner has a couple of great Garvey style hulls, one is the
right size but I want to build the tri hull. And for my "sound" boat I
wanted something with higher sides than the garvey, and that would
handle bigger water. Look at John Gardners 16 foot Dory Skiff in "The
Dory Book" by the same, it is a pretty boat I think I can build pretty
light. Thanks William nice to see you again so to say.

Sorry, wasn't paying attention.
Maybe someone will read it an want to build a garvey.

No problem, I have not been real clear as to what I needed here as I
am still deciding what will be the right boat for me, or two boats in
this instance. I have all but ordered the material for the design I
finished, won't be long now till I have some sawdust in my hair again,
yipppppeeeee!
