Many more from which to choose!
Below are select designs I have available from my personal collection. Many of these are not readily available from other internet sources. Models start from the 1920's, and progress through the 1960's. Designers include the Johnson Brothers, William Jackson, William Atkin, Chester A. Nedwidek, Weston Farmer and many others. Styles vary from rowboats, racing punts, hydroplanes, and v-bottoms. Keep in mind, this is just a sampling of the designs I have to choose from, which is currently well over 100 designs.
Flyer - A single step hydroplane
A wonderful Bruce Crandall design from 1939 - scaled from the petite class "M" up though the monster class "X" sizes.
Apple Sauce
Finn T. Irgens' early design. How early? He was the chief engineer at Lockwood at the time, and one of the main reasons Ole Evinrude bought Lockwood, helping to form OMC.
Flyer - Midget runabout
Another work of art by Bruce Crandall. Little v-bottom
runabout almost a micro gentlemen's racer. I have thoughts on
making this a "convertable" boat, in that you can either user a
steering wheel and remote throttle, or remove the seat and rear deck
making it a tiller steerable boat.
Switzercraft Baby Bullet Reproduction
I'm in the process of recreating the famous Switzer Craft Baby Bullet. It's in the initial drawing stages, but hope to have it ready for lofting and construction soon. This was reverse lofted from a boat formerly owned by Bob Switzer himself.
Boat Builders Annual and How to Build 20 Boats
I have over a dozen of these in my collection - here's some art from the cover.
