plans for airboat

I'm looking for some plans for a plywood airboat. about 14' long. can anyone help out. i don't need anything real fancy. just want to be able to seat about 3 people and be able to fish without flipping it. don't know what kinda motor i will use yet. i don't need to go fast but i want to be able to make it across a river. friend of mine had a continental 220 years ago, i think it is a bit too big, i want to keep the cost down and not alot of power i would have to worry about getting outa hand.

 

Google 'airboat plans'. Here's one hit... Sam

they also have the two man one. i may go that route. says the 2 man needs a motor around the size of a snow mobile engine. hum,,, i live in northern indiana, i may be able to get one.

 

I tried the google route too, with the same results you guys got, no one wants to give away free plans.

I'm a modeler, not familiar with air boats, but there may be plans here and you may get idea for a design, being most all of the rc airboat are scatch built. Put some real plans with some rc plans and you may have a boat. Not much different except for size and power plant.

You might want to post your question in an airboat forum.
