All these free boat plans can be built by anyone with a common sense modicum and a few basic woodworking skills and tools. However, if you have not got the skills and tools yet, this is a great way to acquire them.

One of the beauties of building yourself is that you do not have to buy everything at once, just get what you need when you can afford it.

While some of the instructions suggest using exterior plywood, I would always recommend using marine grade.

Canoe Free Boat Plans 

Combining the features of both kayak and canoe, "Blue Bill" is for those out-of-doors-men who hunt or the sportsmen who need an ultra-light-weight portable boat for use upon any waters.

Besides being usable to build a double-end paddling model, a few changes permit the plans to be used for making a canoe that will accommodate outboard motors up to 6 hp. for swift, speedy transportation on any stream or waterway.

Weighing only 75 lbs. complete, "Blue Bill" is easily transported atop an auto anywhere.

Click Here for the Plans

This kayak is the answer for young people who want to build an inexpensive boat for summer fun. A shop full of power tools is not necessary, either. All the work can be done with ordinary hand tools and a few C clamps. This Free Boat Plan will carry one adult but it's handiest when paddled by a youngster. The boat is stable in the water and, even though it can be turned over, it will not sink. It's also light enough to be carried with ease. Building is so simple that the 'Jig' consists of only two blocks and a few bricks. 

Hunting Kayak

For many years a favorite of hunters, trappers and traders the kayak now is as popular with Europeans as the outboard boat is with Americans.

Although this boat was designed to carry two people, it will accommodate three in a pinch and gear may be stowed under fore and after decks.

A few strokes with the double paddle will send it gliding across the water with the minimum of effort on your part.

Kayaks are surprisingly seaworthy, too — more stable than a canoe, in fact, because the occupants sit on the bottom of the hull which lowers the center of gravity. 

Pintail and 10ft Duck Boat

'Pintail' drawn from plans by Wm D Jackson is another of the Free Boat Plans from the 'Boat Builder Handbook'. This one is being built by Greg Allore .

If you have ever struggled with the oars of a heavy, slow-moving rowboat and then paddled a swift, high maneuverable canoe you can appreciate why many true sportsmen prefer canoes.

But, too often, the multi-ribbed conventional canoe is not only hard to build but too thin-skinned for hard usage.

This Free Boat Plan teams up plywood and fiberglass to produce a tough, scrape-proof canoe you can build in one-tenth the time it would take you to turn out a conventional canoe.

The use of only one frame offsets the extra weight of using plywood, so that this canoe is still light enough for comfortable portage. 

Little Chief

Little Chief is a canoe with many virtues, ideally adapted to quick, easy construction.

Canoes are not easy to build, but here is one Free Boat Plan that can be made of ordinary materials for a fraction of the cost of conventional canoes.

It has attractive molded lines and may be built either as a paddling model or, with slight changes, adapted for use with small outboard motors.

In all countries of the world, particularly the United States, the kayak is enjoying newfound popularity.

Here's a nimble, lightweight craft that has its roots in the Arctic as a basic instrument of survival, yet is branching out as a modern outdoor sport on our own rivers and lakes.

To the Eskimo, a kayak is more than a boat.

When he's laced into his whale-bone and walrus-hide craft, he's ready for anything in the way of water or weather.

To most of us, however, a kayak is pure adventure and fun.

It's perfect for poking around uninhabited Islands, exploring the bends of a lazy, winding river, or just breaking the peaceful surface of a placid lake at sunset.

Redwood Canoe

You can build this 74lb, 16 foot canoe using redwood strips, an old boat-building technique.

Two persons can sit side by side in the center with one person at each end and plenty of room for gear.

This canoe is formed around plywood templates using redwood strips glued edge to edge.

You lay up the strips, remove the form, and the canoe is complete, except for fiberglassing and putting in the seats. 

The plans can also be used to build a 13-foot version of this strip planked canoe.

Houseboat Free boat Plans

Budget houseboat (trailerable).

The Budget Houseboat is like a camper that goes on water.

She's 20 ft. long with a 9-ft. beam, containing 300 sq. ft. of usable floor area.

This means that while she can accommodate two in outrageous comfort, she can easily take a family of four on an extended vacation and be entirely self-contained.

There are two full-size permanent bunks in the forward section of the cabin.

The dining table, in the rear section of the cabin, seats four and then drops down to convert into an extra bunk 6 ft. 4 in. long and 38 in. wide.

Cabin headroom is 6 ft. 2 in., and two cots can be stationed to the rear of the cabin area.

Bayou Belle

Bayou Belle is a 25' scow that can be built as a sports utility, a fishing boat, or a houseboat, depending on your requirements for pleasure offshore.

As a sports utility, she can be used for towing water skiers and for cruising, as a fishing boat, she offers a stable platform with plenty of elbow room and stowage space.

As a houseboat, she has roomy interior accommodations for a leisurely life afloat.

Construction of Bayou Belle makes use of prefabricated sections, which means that much of the work can be done indoors in the average garage during the cold winter months, and the boat completed outdoors in time for launching in late spring.

Float-A-Home

A houseboat is a unique water craft in that it combines most of the comforts of home with the mobility of a boat.

Of course, use is limited to sheltered waters, and speeds are slow in comparison to more sea worthy vessels.

Float-A-Home is a 21-footer that provides plenty of living space for three or four persons.

An extremely simple houseboat to build, the free boat plans feature a strong hull with a heavy keel and close-spaced framing.

This, coupled with a relatively low profile, makes it a very stable craft.

How I Built a Boat Using Plans from 1935

I found plans for a Gentleman's Racer in an old Popular Mechanics book.

My family has owned a Ford dealership since before the first World War, but when I was a kid, I loved boats most. Even after I took over the dealership and spent 40 years in the automotive business, I completed a number of boat restorations and builds. Years ago, my mother-in-law gave me a 1935 book from the Popular Mechanics Press called The Boat Book, Everything of Interest to the Amateur Boatman .

Inside were plans to build what was known in the 1930s as a Gentlemen's Racer—a modified recreation boat in the spirit of old hot rods. I loved the plans, and after a few years of only imagining the build, I laid out a roll of paper on the dealership’s showroom floor and drew the whole boat, full-size and full-scale, with a protractor, square, and compass. No computer whatsoever.

Modernizing the Engine

The original design being from the 1930s, I had to make a few changes. The book outfitted the boat with a Ford Model A engine, but I had my eye on a 250cid straight-six Ford, the same engine you’d find in an early Mustang, Torino, or Granada.

All due respect to my Ford heritage, a Model A motor is heavy, temperamental, and not particularly safe in a boat—the carburetor on the Old A's tended to leak fuel. My inline-six solved those issues and delivered triple the horsepower, 120 horses compared to the Model A’s 40. However, it still fit well within the rpm range in which the boat would be operating, and it struck a nice balance between nostalgia and reliability.

I also modified the original engine installation plans and lengthened the craft by 19 inches to move the engine farther aft. This gave the boat better balance and handling dynamics.

The engine is basically stock, with the exception of a larger carb from a Ford 300cid truck engine. The new engine’s been marinized: It has an open-loop cooling system that pulls water from the lake. There's a pre-cooler for the transmission and a raw-water pump that circulates water through the engine, the water-jacketed exhaust manifold, then out to the lake again.

I also constructed a custom oil pan in order to move the oil sump to the back of the engine—that was necessary with my modifications, which had the engine operating at a 14-degree angle.

A V8 is the typical engine for a custom build, so using the inline-six made things trickier, but the old 250 six matched up perfectly to a Borg Warner Velvet Drive marine transmission. The Velvet Drive is often paired with a 351-Ford engine, which is common in many ski boats.

On the dash, the tachometer, water temp, oil pressure, fuel, and battery gauges are all era-correct Stuart Warners—but I did a few things "incorrect." There's a dead man's switch under the dash and a modern blower system to ventilate the bilge, plus a few other safety items, such as a modern marine fuel tank and a triple-layer epoxy-encapsulated hull for extra strength and durability.

Shaping the Boat

The different engine caused a few ripple effects in how I had to alter the Popular Mechanics design. Because I was extending the length of the boat, it was important to keep the curve of the deck consistent and seamless. I wanted to accentuate the tumblehome — the inward curve of the sides towards the aft—so I called my son and we developed an equation to make sure the geometries worked out.

You can’t just run a straight line from frame to frame, because the side curves more toward the back, and the deck narrows at an ever-increasing rate the more aft you go. I added another frame at the back to support the extra length, so the boat ended up considerably stronger than the original plans.

We used the outside dimensions Popular Mechanics published, but where the original plans called for 1.5-inch white pine frames, I used 2.5-inch oak for additional strength. I had taken down an oak tree from my woods a few years previously. I had the timber aged and dried, and I selected the best planks for the frames.

Once the frames were together, I built the keel and epoxied and bolted the seven main frames and the transom to the keel. Then I ran the battens on the outside of the frames, as called for in the 1935 plans. All the frames are white oak, and the exterior is mahogany.

The toughest build area was the wood forming the bow. You can bend a piece of wood no problem, but where you have a lot of flair (like with the curves on the bow of a boat) you have to roll the plank in two different directions simultaneously. I threw a few pieces of mahogany away, thanks to trial and error.

The proper way to shape the wood would have been to use a steam room. But I ended up soaking the wood in my pond, and made a jig where I could bend the wood little by little until I achieved the shape I wanted. Then, I just let it dry in the sun.

It took me four and a half years of evenings and weekends to frame; build the keel; complete the hull; install the engine, transmission, and driveline; apply a urethane clearcoat; upholster the interior; and install the stainless steel trim. I eventually named it Flash , the same name given to the boat in the old Popular Mechanics book.

Updating a Classic

The book’s materials list was a bit dated. An obvious example: The instructions called for a canvas cover and “plenty of lead paint.” I wanted to stay true to the original design, but not that true. I covered the boat with marine-grade mahogany, with each piece coated in epoxy and screwed to the boat. For the finish, I used a conventional wooden stain, with an automotive-grade urethane clear coat for the top surface.

Popular Mechanics purists from the ‘30s would probably roll over in their graves upon hearing that, but acrylic urethane is harder and superior to varnish. If I had used the organic materials called for in the book, the life expectancy of the boat would have been pretty limited.

The old Gentlemen’s Racer class required two seats: the driver and navigator's seat aft and a "seat" in the forward deck. Many boats had a hatch to cover the forward seat, but even with the covered seat, it was still technically a recreation boat, in the same way a hot-rod is still technically a passenger car.

Some of my dealership connections came in handy for aesthetics and accessories. An upholstery shop in Salina, Ohio sewed the vinyl upholstery for the boat. The plans called for leather, but the ride of this boat produces a lot of spray, so the interior was guaranteed to be wet. The windshield and brackets were made by a speciality shop, and an Amish cabinet shop local to my home in Indiana did some of the complex wood-cutting. Other local Amish companies crafted the stainless steel hardware on the deck and sides, and installed the gold leaf lettering.

With all the modifications, I had to calculate the displacement of the boat to verify balance and water-line height. Water weighs 60 pounds per cubic foot. By calculating the cubic footage of the hull, I was able to establish how deep the boat would sit in the water. When the boat was finally launched, it floated within a half-inch of what my mathematical calculations had predicted.

Testing Its Performance

For the standards of the day, this would have been a really fast boat. It can be dead in the water and reach full plane in just under two seconds. It’ll never be a fast boat by modern standards because of the old-school hydrodynamics and engineering—new boats have designs that lift the boat out of the water at speed, and this one just can’t achieve any of that lift.

With the 18-inch pitch on the propeller—allowing for 15 percent propeller slippage—and the engine turning 3200 rpms, the math says the boat should have a top speed of around 46 mph. But over 40, you would have your hands full. Due to the fresh engine, I haven't pushed it hard to the top end yet.

On this boat, the bow is basically vertical. If you stuff it into a wave, you're going to put water over the deck. This design isn't wrong, but boat builders have learned a thing or two in the past 75 years. The Boat Book describes that exact ride experience as an inherent part of the design. As far as driving and handling, Flash is quite well-mannered. Granted, performance and handling aren't on par with a contemporary sport boat, but a 1930s sedan won't handle or perform comparable to a modern automobile, either.

Cruising at 28 to 30 mph, this boat is as sweet as can be. Flash creates a huge curtain of spray on both sides. When I take the boat out, other boats come alongside and follow us. Cameras come out and people take pictures of it running. Between the gold trim and the finished mahogany, it’s an attention-getter.

I numbered the boat with G-36: G for the Gentlemen's Racer classification, and 36 for the rough vintage. The gold leaf Flash is an exact copy of the script pictured in the book. Finally, I put A.J. Moser—my great-grandfather who founded our family dealership in 1886—on the side, but it’s a nod to my father, too, quite a craftsman himself.

He made things all his life. He told me: “Jim, work with your hands. You can do things if you try, and it’s good for your mind.” I love history, and maybe my great-grandchildren will be able to dig out this column in 85 years and show off the boat to POP readers again.
