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. |
