Boat building plans Scam???

[Josh Bardan]

Ok so i've been trying to research on building my own boat but can not find any good info. I found this site and thought I would ask here. Does anyone have any boat building plans I can buy? I keep coming across this site

and it looks like a good deal. Does anyone here have experience with this book/plans? Any advice would be good. Thanks!

Welcome Josh!

Have you thought to check with your local library for books about boat building?

Happy boating!

These collections of boat plans are all over the internet- Most of them are legit. A lot of them are collections of reprinted plans from old magazines.

What kind of boat are you looking to build? There are a lot of free plans out there... Try here-

There are loads of other sites, too...

For some easy builds, I highly recommend Harold Payson's 'Instant' boat books. They are all smaller boats, from 6' to 18 or so, power/row/sail depending which you choose. I have built one from his book in less than 2 days!

Just remember that you get what you pay for- it's worth buying plans in some cases because you get the support of the designer when you are building!
