    What 3D modeling software do you use?

    Spira Ixtapa Panga 23 Plans? Hi guys, I'm really hoping to find these plans. I do live in SoCal nowadays and this is the perfect boat for me. I finally found a place I can build and would love to see the plans. Anybody know how to find them?

    I was wondering if you still have the full plans for the Spira 19’ Outer Banks Dory available? I have several of Jeff Spira’s plans and am finishing a Juneau build. I hope to build the Outer Banks Dory for my next project and have the study plans but am looking for the full build plans.

    I’m new to the forum but a long time fan of Jeff Spira. It’s sad to hear of his passing but if anyone have the plans of Winchester 23 Pacific Power Dory, I will appreciate.

    Bill, I'd really like the plans for the 24' key largo if you'd let me have them!

    New here. I’m looking for Jeff’s Galveston or Albion plans. Unfortunately, I procrastinated once upon a time and missed the window to purchase one of his plans. I have watched most of his YouTube vids and I’m at a point in my life where I would like to build one of his boats and honor his legacy. Thanks for reading and any input would be appreciated. Mike

    I have plans for the Alaskan & Labrador dories by Jeff Spira, and also the Newfie 27 ft Grand Banks dory. Glad to share these with anyone, and I am looking for a couple of plans myself: the 32 ft Baffin Bay dory, and the 45 ft Midway Sampan.

    Anyone have the Robalo plans? I dropped the ball on ordering plans. Divorce took over 2 years and now I need some boat building therapy.

    I have the Alaskan, Labrador, and Newfie 27 but not the Robalo.

    I'm not sure the specs on those. I am upgrading from an aluminum dingy from the 1950's. Its a great little boat but I want something a little more robust and the robalo would be great for the brand new 25hp I bought a couple of months ago.

    I'm finally getting the privilege to build my first boat, but as we all know, getting your hands on the plans are a bit difficult after Spira's passing. I'm looking for the Seneca Pacific Power Dory in 16-17 feet length. The original is 14 but wonder how easy it is to scale. I'd be really happy to find the plans for the Carolinian Carolina Dory as well. In fact, I think I'd prefer it as I'm probably going to use a 9.9hp motor and will do some trolling and it would be nice to be able to row. It would be my first attempt to build a boat, but would have help from a friend who has built boats using plans before.

    Rodney would it be possible to get a set of plans for the Tiburon from you? I’ve been searching high and low for a way to obtain them.

    I planned on getting a few different plans but just found out of Jeff’s passing and found out site closed down. I am looking for copies of Spira boat plans for v bottom fishing boats from 17 to 19 foot, being disabled veteran I want to build my own boat since I can’t just go buy one. I am looking for something easy to build in the 17 to 19 foot range for offshore in Gulf of México off Florida west coast fishing, something that can have small center console preferably. Any help would be greatly appreciated in finding these plans

    Finally have some time to play with the Spira designs. Thought I would digitally build the 18' Carolinian Carolina Dory. Got all of the frames assembled.

    What's really cool is the ability (using 3D modeling) to digitally make the chine and shear cuts at each frame. The result is pretty cool (i.e., you can get the dimensions and shapes of these cuts before you even begin the build).
