Eldridge - Mcinnis hull design

[Bob I]

Where can i get information and drawings for Eldridge - Mcinnis hulls?

They appear to be a versatile design.

Any one got input?

I believe Fortier is still building Eldridge-McInnis designed boats from 26-33' - http://www.fortierboats.com/

The bulk of their designs were done sometime between 30 or 40 years ago? I did find a couple of references, like a 25 footer built at http://www.traditionalboatworks.com/powerboats.htm It's too bad that some of the older designs aren't as well catalogued on the web as those done in more recent times.

Thanks twalker
I have seen Fortier Boats and would like to build an aluminum 28 ft. version. 28 x 9 trailerable.
Been to the other sits.

What do you think?

You might want to check with the Mystic Seaport Museum to see if they have drawings, or if they know who does.

Allan Mcinnis (son of Mcinnis of Eldridge&Mcinnis) has recently retired from the brokerage business. He is/was living around Hingham, Mass and his phone number was 617-749-5570 or 617-749-3570 (a bit hard to read)
PS i belive the area code has changed it and believe it is now 781
