Question for old boaters

[Martin Gallianno Jr]

Being an old boater, I am looking for plans for two old out of production hulls, First is the Wildfire originally designed by Octura but not offered in kit. Prefer 40 size but I can scale it. Second is a White Heat 30, also from Octura, a 30" boat but I can scale from any size plans. Please let me know if you have or have a line on either of these plans. Thanks a bunch, Martin

Martin,

Maybe you can check out Octura's archives they may have something in there??

Later!!

Mechanics illustrated had an article on the white heat back around 1966 1977 with plans in it if I recall. Getting older every day.

1962. Wow how time flys. I have the original copy somewhere in my attic if it hasn't deteriorated by now.

Not sure if epoxy was around back in those days!! A family friend built it from the Popular Mechanic plans back in 1960 or so. It is really neat! And it's pretty much ready to run!!!
