MOTOR
BOAT DESIGNS & PLANS
FOR MOTOR BOATS UP TO 16' LENGTH
We have 14 designs, of
various different styles and types :-
POWER

16x56
ply motor launch of ultra simple construction using pre-shaped ply hull panels,
frames and transom. The chine joints are completed with epoxy resin fillets and
tape making construction quick. A weekends work will see the hull panels
marked out, cut, stitched together, frames and transom in place and all seams
epoxied. She uses 4 sheets of 6mm and 3 sheets of 12mm ply in her basic
construction (hull, seats etc).
Approximately 250 lbs lightweight depending on how you fit her out. A 20 hp
outboard will give a speed of around 25 mph. She can be fitted out to your own
requirements. She was originally designed for Scottish waters where she has been
very successful. |

POWER 14
|
The
hull for this launch was originally based on our Power 16 model but instead of
going for a simple flat bottom panel, we have used a 'V' bottom shape. Whilst
this makes construction time a little longer it gives a slightly better ride in
choppy conditions. The plans give details for both simple stitch and tape and
ply on frame construction.
She has a large open cockpit with plenty of locker space. Forward is an optional
cuddy. 11 sheets of 6mm ply plus a further sheet of 9mm are used for the hull
construction and 2 sheets of 6mm ply are used for the optional cuddy. LOA
14'6" (4.42m); Beam 5'6" (1.67m); Approx wht. 375 lbs (170 kg); for
the open version and 475 lbs (215 kg) for the cuddy version.
|
8' SKIFFLE JUNIOR MOTOR BOAT
|
The 8'
Skiffle is a simple motor boat designed for children to use although she can
accommodate a small adult. The hull uses a flat bottom panel with single bilge
and side panels and uses simple stitch & tape methods in her construction.
She can take outboard motors of around 5 to 7hp - she could take more powerful
motors but 7hp is a safe limit. Construction takes just 4 sheets of 6mm plywood.
LOA 7'5" (2.26m); Beam 4'1" (6.35m).
|
 |
12' SAND MARTIN SIMPLE RUNABOUT
|
Using
between 5 and 6 sheets of 6mm ply the Sand Martin uses simple stitch and tape
technology in her construction. She can be fitted out in a number of different
ways but the standard arrangement shows two thwarts with side benches aft and a
foredeck with stowage space below. Weight will be approx. 120 lbs (54kg) and she
can take outboard engines between 2 and 15 hp. With a beam of 4'11"
(1.49m), she has plenty of room for fishing and is a very stable craft.

9'6" LITTLE
HARRIER MOTOR DORY
|
This is a
smaller sister to the 13 Harriershe has the same simple V bottomed
hull shape which has plenty of stability and room in such a short length for
fishing and pic-nicking. Under the seats can be used for flotation and/or
stowage and she can take outboards up to 20hp.
She is car-topable
and uses 5 sheets of 6mm ply. LOA 96 (2.90m); Beam 47 (1.40m);
Approx. Wht. 85lbs (39kg).
|
HARRIER 13' MOTOR DORY
|
The
Harrier is a simple single chined 'V' bottomed stitch and tape ply dory for
outboard power. She has been designed to give as much carrying capacity as
possible in a 13' car-toppable boat making her suitable for fishing and
picnicking as well as for use as a tender to a motor yacht. The hull can be
fitted out to suit - the standard arrangement shown on the plans has aft and
centre seats plus a foredeck/seat - she could take a small cuddy. Construction
uses 7 sheets of 6mm ply. LOA 13' (3.97m); Beam 5'3" (1.6m); Approx Wht.
145 lbs (66 kg).

SHETLAND 14 WORKBOAT
|
This
sturdy craft has been designed for a client in Scotland who wanted a rugged
general purpose boat for fishing and diving in rough water. She may only be 14
long, but she is for all that, a large boat and she incorporates both integral
buoyancy tanks and a water ballast tank.
There is plenty of seating plus an outboard well and she may be fitted out with
an inboard engine. The standard construction plans have all the hull panel and
frame shapes for steel construction but she can of course, be made from plywood
using stitch and epoxy methods. LOA 143 (4.34m); Beam 6 (1.83m);
Draft 8 (0.2m); Approx. weight 350 lbs.

15' ELECTRIC SKIFF
|
A
lovely little skiff made from four sheets of 1/4 plywood using simple
stitch and tape techniques. She has a fine entry for moving quickly and easily
under electric outboard power (a conventional petrol outboard may also be used)
with a stern wide enough to take someone sitting comfortably without upsetting
the trim of the boat too much. 147 x 39 and approx 75 lbs.,
she is ideal for car topping to remote canals and rivers for some quiet fishing.
She may be adapted with a trolley for wheeling around locks or will take an
outboard well if preferred.
|
15' RASCAL MOTOR DORY/SKIFF
|
This
is a simple and very easily built motor dory for use with outboards up to around
50 hp in size. She can either be made by wrapping the pre-shaped sides around
the frames, fastening on an external chine stringer and then putting the bottom
ply on oversize, or, by simple stitch and epoxy methods using pre-shaped ply
bottom and side panels which are given on the drawing.
She can be fitted out very much to suit your own requirements and she could take
a cuddy or small cabin. She uses 7 sheets of 9mm ply and has a length of 15
and beam of 56.
|
16' CURLEW MOTOR PUNT
|
This
is a very simple stitch and tape design using 5 sheets of 9mm (3/8) ply
with pre-shaped hull panels and transoms. With a beam of 46 and a mid
depth of 16 she has plenty of room for fishing, camping or for family
pic-nics.
She may be rowed but is primarily designed to be powered by an outboard of
between 2 and 20 h.p. The design is very adaptable and she could easily be
fitted out with a cuddy or sailing rig. Curlew may also be made in two halves
for easy transport. Details are also given for a deeper version.
|
16' CAPE COD SEMI DORY
|
The
Cape Cod is a motor dory based upon the Swampscott model with it's flat but
rockered bottom panel and 4 planks per side. Unlike the sailing Swampscott, the
bottom is kept fairly wide aft so that she can take a reasonable size of
outboard (up to 35 hp). The plans show details for both the simple stitch and
tape and clinker ply methods of construction and the standard fit-out shows a
foredeck plus narrow side decks and storage both fore and aft. She could be
fitted out with a cuddy or small cabin etc. LOA 16' (4.88m); Beam 6' (1.83m);
Approx. wht. depending on fit-out 300 lbs (136 kg).

construction. The standard fit-out has a central bench seat/oar locker
and she can take at least 6 adults.

motorboat is based on a typical Maine Lobster boat and has been designed
for strip plank construction (although she could be built using
clinker/ply techniques using the same moulds). The hull has a high
freeboard with flat planing sections aft and tumblehome worked into the
hull aft.
She is essentially an open boat with a narrow
side decking and bench seating with stowage under, however, she could be
