Downloadable Garvey Flex Boat Plans – Build your own 14′ Garvey Flex boat

Imagine – it’s Friday morning before a long-weekend holiday and dawn’s faint light promises a good day ahead. You’ve packed your fishing gear, hitched your boat to the truck, and you and your friends are about to discover an unspoiled place deep below the surface of the river, lake or sea.

Weekends like this can become a reality when you’re the proud owner of this 14′ Garvey Flex boat. It’s the perfect boat if you want to spend a few days escaping the hustle and bustle of daily life and relax in a beautiful, natural setting.

Attach a 20- HP outboard engine and this boat glides easily through the water, and it’s stable enough to handle well no matter how rough the water gets.

Plus, a large beam gives you a perfect platform for fishing, and the boat is big enough to load up to four adults plus your fishing gear. It trailers easily and can be launched by one person.

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.

Downloadable J- Skiff Plans – Build your own 13′ J – Skiff

This 13′ flat bottom skiff is a real workboat. It is so easy to build that you can build it in a day (maybe add a few days for fairing and painting ;-).

The 13′ J – Skiff is not a lightweight boat, but it is for sure stable and will do very well for both fishing and sailing with friends. In fact this boat is so stable that you can even use it as a drift boat.

The boat will go well with an outboard engine between 4 and 12 hp. With only 5 sheets of plywood this boat is very affordable to build and the real easy building process makes no excuse for not getting started building right away.

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.”

“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.”
