Out of curiosity, was it a clinker style miniature of their larger
vessels? Inboard, cabinsole deck, etc.? Because if you could get the
lines, you could probably draw up a pretty accurate clone.

When we went looking for plans for a 17' Chris barrelback we ended up
purchasing a scale model and then extrapolated the measurements up to full
scale.

If you go to delftship.com you can download freeware hull design software
from which a lines plan can be generated. After establishing a design the
hull can be rendered and rotated in real time to evaluate the lines of the
boat. I also adjusted the bottom shape to increase efficiency on plane.

A dxf file can then be exported to CAD to take off an accurate table of
offsets.

You can check out our boat at www.edison-marine.com. While we think she is
a very beautiful boat she is also a green vessel being powered by electric
motors!!
