I'm looking for Building Plans for 43 Small Boats edited by Charles Chapmen and F.W. Horenburger 1936.

I was told the book exists but, can't seem to locate it.

I would really like to see the plans for the "Flyer 85" designed by Willard Crandall.

Anyone out there with any idea?

Thanks,

Jim

"Flyer, A 1934 Outboard Racer"

"Class C Flyer", A 1935 Outboard Racing Hydroplane

"A 1934 Class F Flyer", New Streamlined Outboard Racer For Classes F And X

"Flyer Racing Runabout", A Modern Design Outboard Runabout For Racing In Classes C, E And F

"The Flyer Utility Runabout", An Outboard Runabout Suitable For Motors Of Any Size

"Flyer- A 91 Cubic Inch Racer", A New Design Inboard Hydroplane

"Flyer, A 135 Cu. In. Class Hydroplane"

I don't know how your library system works but several years ago the LA County Library was able to search and found me a copy of The Rudders Build a boat series number 7 full of Hacker plans with offsets. All it cost me was $3.50 in postage for a three week loan from a library in Michigan. Go see your local library, you may be surprised.

I checked out a copy of the book from the Seattle Public Library about a year ago, they had three copies. If you still have trouble finding what you are looking for I made copies of most of the plans/discussions in the book and would gladly fax you copies. Good luck.

You guys are the best!!!
Thanks for the info and the link.
I hope to build the 16' model with the inboard. When I get a copy of the plans, I'll know for sure.

I'll also keep you posted.

Leave your fax machine on tonight, I'll send you Flyer 91 and 135 about 1700 Pacific.

Thanks for the fax! I can't see why I couldn't use marine-ply that was sealed with epoxy for the bottom and mahogany planking for the sides and decks.
The power calls for a 91 Gray Blue Streak Jr., a Universal Blude Jacket 99 or a Gray light Four high speed 75 cubic inch.

Now..., which modern motor to use?

Any suggestions?
