    Hi mikelle,

    Are you looking for actual plans for the Aquarama? I'm pretty sure those are still proprietary. Even if you could get them illegally you could be in for some trouble.

    Or are you looking for plans for a clone, a boat that looks similar and performs comparably? There might be a few around but I wouldn't put too much faith in the quality of cheap rip-off plans.

    Or are you looking for plans for something in the same style, but that is an original design in its own right and not a rip-off? (This is the option I'd recommend.)

    Some changes to the windows, a hardtop, and you could look at the 26' lobster boat from Batou..

    http://www.bateau.com/studyplans/LB26_study.htm?prod=LB26#skills

    Seem to be pretty close to your idea.

    Also some designs by Atkin out there: http://www.atkinboatplans.com/
    Look at Inboard cruisers, and "Ben Peck" (for example), those plans are for older boats, though, if you manage to make it look like a classic, it'll work.... maybe....

    You probably want it to reach planing speed, so be careful with what hull shape you go for.

    ehhmmmm..... I have to admit I'm an all kinds of boats fella. But they have to be cheap...., even though my days as a crash test dummy is probably ended.... :rolleyes:

    But the link to the above mentioned boat does include a link to drawing also... (http://www.bateau.com). go to LB26, it doesnt look too bad... Add a lightweigth roof made of divinycell, glass/ epoxy.... Ask the designer for his opinion?

    I personally think it looks enthusiatic enough, though...:)
