Default Hull Design Drawings

Hi All,

i checked through the search, but couldnt find anything. so i decided 2 make a new thread.
Anyhu, i was wondering if any one had any boat hull design drawings that they could post up, so others and myself could look at and build off.

or know of any sites i could get some from.

any hull design such as:
mono's
outrigger's
hydro's
cat's
etc

i look forward to your reply and drawings.

Corey.

There are a few different plans at www.modelpowerboat.com you will need to register to be able to obtain the free plans.
No cats, it seems they are quite hard to come by, however there are a few hydro's, riggers and monos.

Wow, those were huge :O about 72 inches long. Would like to build one but with electric hardware and for that 72 inches is a bit big :P
You know if its possible to scale it down?
Cheers

I build the wild thing mono on that site but i scaled them down to 16in. I just copyed it to the clipboard and pasted it in paint. Then i scaled it down in the print setup page. Probly not the best way to do it but it worked

Have a look in SV27Dayton's thread on the stepped cat, alloutcustom has a picture of his version of plans in there. You can then take it to a print shop and get it blown up to desired size, well that is what I intend to do anyway.

I can connect you with the guy that gave me my original prints if you like. I modified my boat without changing the prints but I'm not comfortable giving them (prints) out directly.

Here's my thread. You can see pretty much what mine's going to look like.
