looking for Volume 47

[Grizz_]

of the Motor Boating Ideal Series. There's a kayak plan towards the back of that book. I built it in the seventies and used it to pack drinking water to a winter cabin, and feed the family, and cavort with whales. I would very much appreciate obtaining a copy of those plans. I know there are thousands of kayak designs. I am only interest in this one:

Thank you for the response. The person who publishes that index won't copy plans. And I don't blame him actually, he'd be swamped. And the kayak is listed in the table of contents, but the plans aren't available online.

I'm trying to avoid paying up for that book, it's a little dear for my budget. Thanks again for responding..

Thanks for that info. Inter-Library loan is my next stop. These books are getting culled from collections. More's the pity.

I love these books Grizz, and am collecting them as time and money allow.

I do have 47, and have scanned in the 5 pages for the kayak plan.

Send me a Private Message with your normal e-mail address and I'll forward them along.

Happy building.

Thanks to all who responded. I've got the plywood for layout and for frames so I expect to be able to get a progress thread going sometime this Fall. Lots of competing things to do. Great, isn't it?

Best,
