    I believe Fortier is still building Eldridge-McInnis designed boats from 26-33' - http://www.fortierboats.com/

    The bulk of their designs were done sometime between 30 or 40 years ago? I did find a couple of references, like a 25 footer built at http://www.traditionalboatworks.com/powerboats.htm It's too bad that some of the older designs aren't as well catalogued on the web as those done in more recent times.

    You might want to check with the Mystic Seaport Museum to see if they have drawings, or if they know who does.

    Allan Mcinnis (son of Mcinnis of Eldridge&Mcinnis) has recently retired from the brokerage business. He is/was living around Hingham, Mass and his phone number was 617-749-5570 or 617-749-3570 (a bit hard to read)
    PS i belive the area code has changed it and believe it is now 781

    Im looking for information on Eldridge McGinnis as welland I called those numbers but had no luck they were businesses and one was a wrong number and the other disconnected. I am looking at buying a 1922 double ended 25ft launch that was supposedly designed by McGinnis and was built by "Company 19" of North Boston in 1922 anybody have any links or information on either let me know please

    Probably McInnis, not McGinnis.

    The first response from Google and Bing for a search on "Eldridge McInnis plans"
    is http://library.mysticseaport.org/manuscripts/coll/spcoll094.cfm There is a partial listing of the Eldridge-McInnis plans in the collection at Mystic Seaport.

    The biography on the link above states that prior to starting his own business in 21924 Walter McInnis worked for George Lawley and Son. Another Bing or Google search leads to http://web.mit.edu/museum/collections/nautical_list.html Scroll down on that page for a brief description of McInnis-Lawley collection which includes 3,500 plans.
