Building a 25' boat

[Samuel Hagan JR]

I was wondering if anyone on here has actually built a boat bigger then our rc boats. Like a 5' or 10' boat.

Here's what I've been drooling over the past month.

I built a simple 11" jon boat back in the early 80's. I copied the dimensions of a Coleman Crawdad which was a boat made from some kind of plastic. I used it to fish small lakes for a while. The Crawdad had a nice wide bottom which made it stable for it's size. It was made with formers made from 1x2's with full length stringers. I sheeted it with 1/4" plywood and glassed the outside. I painted it in the back bedroom of the 14 x 70 mobile home we lived in at the time. My Dad and a friend of his built several runabouts and day cruisers form Mechanics Illustrated plans back in the 50's.

Do you have any pics. They have plan kits for shovel nose hydroplanes also. They look awesome.

I saw the playboy boat. I couldn't find the Eager Eve. Looks really good. I'll ask you a bunch of questions at the meeting Sunday.
