HYDROPLANE: MINI MAX - Exactly what the name implies- a boat requiring a minimum in time and materials to build to give you the maximum in performance and water sport fun. Can be built in one day- will take motors from 3 to 15 hp. Safe- this boat will support 900 lbs even with the cockpit completely filled with water. A real great first time boat builder project. MINIMOST -This was my first boat I built so I just love this one- I still think it is the most fun on the water. Stressed skin construction and advanced under hull design makes this a real speedy boat. Will run 30 mph with a 10hp motor on it! Cheap to build and fast- also easy, this should be your first boat too. HYDRO DYNAMIC - A 1963 Vintage 14-foot plywood HYDROPLANE RUNABOUT. The Hydroplane itself is the fastest of all hulls. Basically, it’s no more than a pair of narrow sponsons with a flat-bottomed boat body slung between and above them. At speed, the entire assembly rises to ride on the sponsons, creating a “tunnel” of air between the hull and the water- and eliminating most of the “wetted” area and its speed cutting friction called drag. Once a hydro gets up on its sponsons, no conventional hull can get anywhere near it. Up to now the amateur boat builder who was interested in a hydroplane had to be content with an ultra-light, temperamental racing hull designed to carry only one or two people. Now with this 10-page build-it-yourself plan for a true recreational three-pointer here is your chance to have your own hydroplane that can carry up to 4 people. HYDRO DYANAMIC can best be described as an easy to build three point plywood runabout hydroplane approximately 14 feet long for use with a motor in the 45 to 65 hp range; a clean modern topside design, featuring a roomy cockpit with seating for four; and the capacity to operate efficiently while towing a skier. If you have never driven a three-pointer, then you’ve missed one of the biggest thrills in boating. Like any boat as you ease the throttle lever forward the boat comes smoothly up on plane but continue to advance the throttle and Hydro Dynamic suddenly climbs to her points with an effect like cutting in the afterburner on a F16 jet. A three-point hydroplane flies over the water rather than skimming the surface like other hull designs. Now Hydro Dynamic has been deigned for general recreational use rather than flat-out racing, the sponsons are made wide and flat to support heavier load such as a group with a skier. This boat is made from exterior grade plywood and fir structural members to keep the cost down. The boat is glued and screwed together. I will provide you with the correct epoxy information to make this fun and something I know you can afford. I will also include a super article on Lofting so you understand how easy it is to read plans once you know the secret. Kayak GEODETIC KAYAK - A vintage GEODETIC Kayak. Geodetic is the hottest kayak construction , the geodetic framework of this craft gives an amazing strength-weight ratio. The absence of flat side panels eliminates much of the lateral buffeting suffered by other less streamlined types in rough water. It’s inexpensive to build. Light in weight and easy to handle, the Geodetic Kayak excels in strength and speed. The Geodetic design is stronger and lighter than any other comparative types. The principle used consists of a number of light strips twisted around the length of a structure, fastened together wherever they cross, so the entire system resists any local loads or pressures, which tend to distort other designs. This is a 10-foot boat with a 31-inch beam and anyone who builds one will have a strong light craft, capable of weathering heavy seas, and one, which can be paddled easily. The streamline design makes the boat easy to maneuver I cross winds and eliminates flat surfaces for waves to break against. The Geodetic plans are 6 pages put on a single CD, which cover step by step construction. The plans include a complete bill of material so you will know what exactly is required to start this project. You do not have to be an experienced builder, don’t be afraid to try this project – everyone who has built a boat started with their first and this is the perfect first easy to build Kayak. So if you have ever wanted to get into the lightest and fastest 10-foot Kayak at the lowest possible cost, now is your chance and this is your auction. How cool would it be to build your own Kayak!

Showboat Brings a small and simplified edition of these famous boats within a practical building scope of anyone interested in lake or river craft, and offers, besides novelty, extraordinary economy and remarkable cabin capacity for so small a craft. The advantages of the design are plentiful. In the first place it requires nothing beyond ordinary carpentering to build and no special skill at that trade. Then again it provides the maximum of cabin space and yet draws so little water that it can be run into a safe landing wherever a few inches of water are available. On top of all that unless it is engine operated, it costs nothing in the way of fuel to run. The crew and passengers power showboat. Two old bike frames mounted side by side, are coupled quite simply to the twin stern wheel so that two ordinary persons can comfortably propel this unique ship anywhere they choose to go. Steering is by one set of handlebars using a forward rudder. Nothing is to prevent you from using a small engine instead of pedals, as there is a lot of space to mount that without any problem. One smoke stack is used as a chimney for the stove to make this look like the real thing. The construction is normal wood boards and plywood, nothing special here.
