Plans/Architect wanted for 35ft Aluminum Center Console

[mleto1]

I'm in the planning stages of building a 33-37ft Aluminum fishing center console for offshore fishing. The boat needs to be along the lines of a Contender, Sea Vee, Yellowfin, Rock Salt, etc. I would prefer to find plans, or a Naval Architect that could draw a boat so I could get some material costs. Pricing will be very important. These plans need to include drawings for all stringers and panels.

I want to get some material costs to see if this will be possible to build a boat on my budget. I only need plans for a bare hull, with gunnels and deck. I will add all accessories.

I would also consider a big catamaran similar to a Parker Fincat. Fuel efficiency is very important.

Preliminary plans:

35ft LOA +/- 3 ft
Twin or triple outboards on bracket
22-24.5* deadrise (stepped hull a plus with a slightly lower deadrise)
500 gallon fuel capacity
Massive below deck fish boxes
WOT of 60mph
Cruise of 40-45mph
Great fuel efficiency (would like to see over 1.5mpg at cruise)


Any insight is appreciated.
