Need Naval Architect

[elcapitan]

Is there anyone who would be willing to draw me up some plans. I am wondering how much it would cost to get plans drawn up for a 26 foot offshore center console. I want to incorporate a large carolina flair into it and i have a few desing ideas. I also want the boat to be dual outboards. I will be using these to eventually build the boat but want to know how much it would cost to have the plans created. If anyone can help please let me know.

Thanks
Alex

You should contact, Tom Lathrop ( boat design member, tom28571 ) and present this query to him.

I don't know if Tom has a design that is suitable, though his buddy might (he knows who I mean).

I'd also entertain the project and have suitable hull forms to work from. If interested, contact me through email (click on my name).

What material do you want to build from? Aluminium Steel Ply Glass??

[rasorinc]

Just an idea and info. Designed by Ken Hankenson N.A. can be made larger and is an inboard though could be made an outboard with some weight and balance work.https://www.boatdesigns.com/products.asp?dept=719
Here is it's bigger brother. https://www.boatdesigns.com/products.asp?dept=790

It is quite easy to convert the materials list to aluminum (at least for me)

I would be more than happy to draw up some plans for you for your project, I use SolidWorks for my design work, which, when the design is finished I can produce CAD 3D model images and detailed working drawings.
Please can I invite you to take a look at http://www.vipermarinegroup.com

for advice.

Go with PAR for the project.
He is very much a "hands on" man and knows what he´s talking about, in both terms, designing it, and building the junk. And the best...he knows how to keep it alive without dumping all your income every time you service it!

Not just my two cent. € cent anyway

Is it true that all boats built in Turkey list to port 12* when launched and you then add ballist to plumb them? Stan

[PAR]

Oh, it's not that bad in Turkey, then only list 5 or so degrees to port.

[rasorinc]

On a westerly heading then, they list towards Mecca?? Had a great long lunch roday with lots of libation.

[PAR]

Unless my ex-wife is aboard, then it'll list to which ever side of the boat she happens to waddle toward.

[apex1]

You´re soo stupid.
All boats built by ME list at least 10° to port (wine) than I ballast them with a sufficient amount of 5 Star (board) Cognac to be on level!
This way at least I am level...(at which)... am levvell...ourks

Hähä, yes if you like to say so......

What means smart in this case?

[rasorinc]

You can offset boat list by schnapps corrective list in the legs = smart.

Well, and who does the NA job now?
