Venice River Boat
New to all this so I hope you will bear with me. I have just posted a few pictures of a card model of the 8.2m VENICE LAGOON BOAT that is a Storer design. I put it in a folder called VENEZIA.
I chose 1/10 scale and it was fun to put together in a couple of hours and gives a good idea of how it looks in 3D. I did this much using the dimensions on the plans and everything was a perfect fit. The decking, roof cabin sides, window cutouts, and internal furniture are left to the builder to work out but there are a couple of sketches as a guide.
I guess if you can build something this large you've a pretty good idea how you want the interior layout to look!
I'll see how much further I go and will post another pic if I think it is warranted.

You may be new to the forum, and if so... welcome. But you're clearly not new to model making. Either that or you're a quick study. Yes, please, more fotos

Two more photos
I have added two more pics to the album.
One shows the shape of the windscreen and trimmed roofline.
The other shows the entry hatch at the rear and some side decking has also been installed.

Cool looking dude aboard the boat too!
A large part of the appearance of the boat is the curved strake on the side of the boat. But this model gives a good feeling for the spaces!

Strake
Michael...you'll be able to see the marks on the side of the hull every 100mm (1M full scale) for the curved strake. I'll glue one on shortly to join the dots.
The cool dude is actually Barbie's friend Ken printed off about 180mm tall.

Off-Centreboard and sheer strake fitted
A couple more pics with the off-centreboard and sheer strake fitted (on one side anyway)
Don't know how much more I will do now. I have a pretty good idea of the internal spaces. If built full size I wouldn't need the toilet area to be so large and it would be nice to be able to throw a line in for a fish or two so the area near the entry could have a zip on blind or something if that doesn't need to have a structural wall fitted.
Continuing to put all images here

Howdy, Yes ... the toilet compartment was for that particular customer. It would make the boat considerably better to add the space either to the cabin or the cockpit.

More cabin space
Michael...what are the things to consider if moving bulkheads #4 and #5? I may consider moving #5 toward the stern and building the porta-potti compartment between 4 & 5, or should I leave them and add #5b to make the head smaller?

just let me check the drawings.
Ok ... I think move #5 back to further subdivide the bottom of the boat in that rear area.
I don't think there is any need for another bulkhead.
Michael.

Would a 40' container be a viable space to build this boat. Store 50 plus sheets of cnc'd panels, with enough room still to build and turn the boat? Brother in law is a joiner, with a container and running out of work.
Could she take a 25hp, three cylinder four stroke Honda long shaft we already have ?
Thanks, Brian.

Reckon that would be pushing it Brian. You would only have about 450mm on one side if the boat was pushed over to the other one. No chance of flipping her inside the container Bottom plus topside is wider than the container ie if you roll here without moving the chine the minimum space will be a bit bigger than the bottom (where she sits) and then the topside when she his rolled onto her side with the chine being the pivot.
Naturally the same problem occurs vertically in the opposite order.
I would also strongly recommend the four stroke high thrust outboard to give these boats muscle at their normal cruising speed.

Simple solution would be to just roll the container.

You could modify the container
Weld up one of the doors
Put the container on its side so the welded door is at the bottom.
Clamp outboard to the top edge of the welded door.
Might need a window at the other end.
Don't laugh at me!!!
Enough boats get sunk by containers that have fallen off big ships. Now it is time for containers to get their own back!!!

Sounds like the ultimate square boat, MIK. Bolger would be proud.
Go for it!
