free plans on the net.

Does anyone know of websites that offer decent boat plans for free? I am wanting to build a small 10 or 11 foot ski boat, plywood and fibreglass construction, must be able to handle up to a 30 or 40 Hp outboard, carry a driver and 1 passenger, do about 30+ mph, and be able to handle somewhat of a rough lake when the wind comes up. I`ve found some plans from Glen -el marine but they want money for them, this is the internet and there should be some website that provides free plans but I am having trouble finding any.Thanks Billy

How much do think the boat will cost in materials and engine? Now would you be willing to risk that investment on a free plan - you get what you pay for.

Try this place. Go to the outboard runabouts category. There is a bunch of plans for just what you want, drawn by William D. Jackson, one of the best of his time, free. Sam

Svensons has a lot of interesting old plans.
But why are people allergic to paying for plans when they want to spend many hundred hours and dollars on building the boat?
Have you looked at Glen-L and Boatplans Online or Bateau?
