Downloadable Dinghy Boat Plans – 18′ Dinghy that carries a large outboard

This larger version of the popular 15′ Dinghy is in many ways an improvement and it is more seaworthy than the 15′ Version. The boat has become longer and wider, but especially the freeboard height is relatively larger, so the cruise will be dryer and more comfortable.

The boat is with the same fine lines as her little sister. However the aft ship is changes a bit to make the boat more suitable for a large outboard, a possibility that has been much requested for the 15′ Dinghy. So the 18′ Dinghy will carry an outboard up to 20 hp (recommended minimum 5 hp), so there should be plenty of speed potential.

The extra 3 feet has been used to make a real outboard well aft and making the seats wider and more comfortable. Due to the innovative use of the plywood it succeeded to make this version without the intermediate frames, making the passing from one thwart to the next without any obstacles.

Downloadable Float Boat Plans – Build your own 16′ Ozark float boat

Based on the design of a flat-bottom boat used by people of the Ozarks in the 19th century, this float boat (sometimes called a Johnboat) is the perfect all-round fishing boat.

Take her out on the flats or canyons. Drop anchor and find fish — bass, blue fish or trout – without a trip to the tropics. Paddle along creeks, ponds and rivers. Attach a small outboard motor or electric trolling engine and cruise easily across the lake or bay.

Wherever you take this boat you can be sure she’ll handle even the roughest waters with ease, and give you (and your friends or family) the opportunity to experience hours of fun and adventure on the water.

“The boat handels well. On the first river float we took it down an Ozark tributary called the Little Sac. There are plenty of shallows and riffles with some tendency for log jams, but it is a small inconvenience to access a rarely floated stream. The OFB fit the bill. Loaded with myself, my son and my older brother, Eric totalling >500 pounds. In the wost shallows one of us would have to get out if it were ankle deep or so.
The boat handles readilly on the river or lake, responding quickly to a back paddle for steering. Every boat is a compromise, and this one wins out big time in stability, comfort and room.”

“It’s very nice to row, it’s fast and easy. It is also easy to car top. I don’t know the exact weight, but it’s no problem for two to put it on the car. There is enough room to sit comfortably on the front and on the back seats. We didn’t sail far from the backwater because of quite big waves and wind in that lake. In general I’m very happy about the row boat.”

With only 4 sheets of plywood this 10′ Garvey flex is very affordable to build. Furthermore it is easy to build, so in every way a good project to start with.

This boat is easy to build using our downloadable boat plans

Our boat plans are available for instant download so you can start building right away. Available in PDF file formats, each plan includes drawings showing exact dimensions for the hull panels and frame, plus comprehensive building instructions and assembly details.

No carpentry or boat-building skills necessary

You don’t need any boat-building experience to build this boat – just lift the dimensions from the plans and transfer them directly onto the plywood sheets. The plans allow you to draw full size pictures of the parts of the boat – the bottom pieces, side pieces etc. Once you’re done, simply cut around the lines using a jigsaw, then use the stitch and glue building method to finish your boat.

“We have had the Garvey Flex out on the sea in 60 cm (2 ft) swell and it feels quite stable. We got hold of a used Mariner 4 HP 2 Stroke and that pushes it along quite nicely. The boat is a bit small for 2 people to fish from because there is not much space to put things down or store them. I guess that could be easily fixed with some storage cupboards in the bow and in the seats.

We had a nice family trip the other evening. We sailed from our beach in Saelvig Bay up to Maarup Harbor for an evening drink and back again. It was a beautiful evening and on the way back we watched the sun set and we observed a small school of porpoises quite near to the boat. On that occasion there were 4 of us in the boat and again it handled well.”
