What he said...

find one you are interested in and search for the name (or just try at
svensons). It's probably on the net already. Not to knock the guy...
he is printing them out for you and mailing them but you can probably
print it out satisfactorily on your own.

Yeah... clarkcraft or Glen-L (www.glen-l.com) have great plans. Both
put out "real" plans... not reprints (or copies) of old magazine
articles. There is <a style='text-decoration: underline;' href="http://www.bateau.com" target="_blank">www.bateau.com</a> also. All 3 of these offer more
extensive plans and partial to complete kits.

Mike,

Which plans are you interested in? There is enough boating/boatbuilding
experience out here that you can tap into to answer most of your questions.

Goodchild copies & cleans up plans from old boatbuilding magazines that you can
pick up on Ebay or...you could just ask here & someone who has a copy may be
happy to scan them & send 'em on to you.

Mike,

get a copy of HH Payson's book Build The NEW Instant Boats. Build Diablo.
You'll have a *MUCH* better boat for little extra effort and cost. Much, much,
much better.

I agree, I have worked with several folks who have built Diablo. All
are very impressed.

Hmmm.
The plans Goodchild sells are those already published in boat building books &
magazines. If your local library has the magazines you could get them there.
The primary fee for these designs were a part of the original magazine price.

Gator Bayou Boats plans probably haven't been published before with the intent
of free access to the plans so the "designer" is certainly due and should expect
his fee for his work. Not many folks will or should copy plans that the designer
or its rights owner is actively selling.

However I think I would be reluctant to pay that much for those particular plans
either. I used a 9 ft. double ender as a kid similar to his Pirogue but I don't
recall it flattening out on the floor when I leaned it up on its side.
Interesting site. And he sells Sonar powered lures & Harley parts as well.

Were there any specific plans from Goodchild you were looking for? These are old
designs and are generally of framed construction. You won't find many stitch &
glue boats there.
