    My great uncle built a boat in 1980 that we believe is the clipper. The bottom was redesigned and we don't have plans at all. This bottom is junk and wanting to put keel bottom in it

    That does not look like any Chris Craft I have ever seen. The Clipper had round bilges and not hard chines like what you posted

    If this was redesigned by your grandfather, then he probably took ideas from other boats and made his own. There are many details, like the square windows that are typical of a simplified amateur build. What do you need blueprints for? In general the repair is done to the same as the construction was.
