Wayne,
Tried to give you an answer yesterday evening about the 48 inch Lobster boat plans but got tied up with other things. Anyway, here are a couple of links you will find interesting while you wait for your stuffing tube and in between cutting out other parts. Page 4, post #60 of the first link has the plans for the 48 inch Lobster Boat in .pdf format. Both links are interesting reading and I think you will find some good boat building hints in them.
Here's the first called "Lobster Boat Plans", it has 24", 40" and 48" (of course).

This second one is a partial build, the hull. Jimmy hasn't gotten around to finishing the cabin but you're doing your own thing there any way.

Enjoy the links.
I'll be following this build closely to see how a Shrimp boat is built
, so take your time and do a great job. I'll be finishing up my smaller stand off scale Tug boat. It was supposed to be a Midwest Liberty Tug kit but I saw a New Englan Tug I liked and have modified the superstructure to look like that Tug. Just takes more time than I thought it would. That's o.k., I like building.
