Thread: A 22' Gentleman's Racer begins........

Good Morning Pricey,
I have just recently retired, and am now (finally) ready to start a major project in my woodshop. I've had a "love affair" with the old mahogany runabouts for many years, especially the barrelbacks, and have just recently discovered the "gentlemans racers" boats. While I love the styling, I am not in love with the old way of building them; I am a convert to the multi-layer/epoxy way of building. Doing some research and web-surfing, I came across this forum and your posts
Do you have plans available for her, and where could I get a copy of them? What are the costs? You should know I do not have a commercial operation, and am building a 1-of, for my own use and enjoyment; we live on a lake in Minnesota, USA, and that is where I plan to use her.....except for perhaps the annual wooden boat show on Lake Minnetonka near Minneapolis.
Hoping to hear from you soon,

Pricey hasn't been online since July 2009. Mores the pity as this looked like a ripper build.

Cheers,
