16ft surf launchable plywood boat

Think the outrigger float ama can be built more buoyant so u can build a platform on the outrigger arms to stand up on or sit on...but i could imagine it being a nuisance on the odd occassion....

 

You mentioned some Bateau designs...so I thought I would show my modified Bateau Classic 17.....I eliminated the small cuddy on the bow and made it an open layout with a center console.
The high freeboard and cockpit depth make it safer than the lower sheer designs imo. I also like the enclosed transom...like when entering my local harbor in a following sea.

 

In Hawaii they catch some pretty decent pelagic fish from them. Tuna, ono, mahi etc. Just have to get the fish on the right side I guess.

 

I built my canoe amas based on Dierking's amas. Great concept. fishing and sailing are not my idea of a good time
