Seeking Venrnor Hydro plans
I am very much interested in building a replica of a late 1930's Ventnor 3 point hydroplane. I have yet to find a set of construction details for such a craft. Does anyone know where I might begin?

I have checked out these leads and unfortunately I still cannot find a set of Ventnor 3 point hydro plans. Any other suggestions?

I will need a few days to check with other ACBS boat owners. Some own them, the boats, they may know where a set of plans are sleeping.

The boat can be built without a original set of plans.

Which exact hydro model are you looking for? They start at 13.5' and go up to at least 20'. Or do you want the dorsal fin 20' ?
