    Hello, a friend and I are looking to build a center console runabout/fishing boat for a 90 hp 4-stroke, something in the 18' range, we're both pretty good with wood and glass and WEST, any suggestions on where to start looking for plans ? With the weight of the 4 stroke we thing we need something with some beam aft so it doesn't squat when at rest. Thanks-
