Elsewhere you will see I am delving into restoring a 3 hp St. Lawrence. I have several ideas as to what I would like to do with it once complete and running. Among those is to build a boat.

Something like a Louisiana bateau really appeals, but I'd need a plan. On that I'm having difficulty.

If this was your engine, and if you were to build a wooden boat for it, what would you build?

Cheers!

Thanks Dick.

I will contact them to see what they have to offer suitable for the 3 hp St. Lawrence.

Cheers!

Chris,

Suggest you check Atkins designs.

http://www.atkinboatplans.com/

Plans available at modest price.

A flat bottom might be a good starter if this is your first build, ok for protected waters like the Rideau.

Bagaduce 13'6, XLNC 19'2

Thanks Barry. I gave the links a look. Several Atkins designs have caught my eye.

This would not be my first build. I have the tooling and the shop space.

Cheers!
