Looking for building plans

[vinicius]

Hi,

I am looking for building plans, stock plans if possible, for a DE around 30-35 ft. The only one I was able to find was Pot-Luck from Glen-L. Any advices?

Harry Sucher, this one is 26+ and you can stretch it 10%, he also has a the same thing in a 36.

The Maine maritime museum has plans for Arno day boats.
I've got plans for a 24 and a 28, but I'm sure there are bigger sizes too. Also William lowell has the stock of royal lowell boats for sale. I can give you the address if necessary

Also,
John Gardner has plans and building details for a classic 32 fooy jones porter, and a 37 foot hard chine lobster boat
Both in his book: wooden boats to build and use
Wooden boat store has lines for an Eldridge Mcinnis lobster boat around 32 I think
Doug hylan as plans for a 28 or 29 . Maybe he could expand these for you.

Thanks. As long as I see most - or all - of them are with single engine. Any idea about a twin engine model?

Im sure that you can find a nice sea ray with twins in it. But down-easters are designed to have one engine.

This boat is a little small for you, but posted it for others to see if considering a cold molded lobster boat.

Yes, I know De are designed to be single engine. However my intention is to use it in Brazil, and once one venture a bit offshore(more than 20 NM) you are basically on your own. If you have an engine problem it will be quite difficult to get somebody to help you, there is no Coastguard and the Navy only helps if you are sinking. So a twin installation is a good safe precaution on Brazilian waters.

I have found this one:

However it is the only draw I find from it. I was looking for something similar.

Anyway thanks for all information given here.

And no, I am not looking for Sea Ray.
