About My Aluminum Boat Plans

Connect Up

Naval Architect and Boat Designer Jeff Spira In 2000, Dave Gerr published his book, "Elements of Boat Strength" that standardized steel and aluminum boat framing into a reliable engineering procedure. I took Gerr's methods and applied them to my easy-to-build standard designs and have come up with these plans for the home builder. Enjoy!

Welded Aluminum Boats You Can Build

I have done a number of custom designs for both small boats and larger workboats in aluminum, so I have planned out these models to eventually design and add to my reportoire of stock plans. Many of these designs are not available to purchase yet. Only the links that take you to a separate information and purchasing page are available now. As I add additional plans, I'll activate the links. It is my intention to eventually design all of the boats shown below, but in which order I'll design them depends on input from my customers. My priorities are, and will always be: 1st) those plans people purchase, 2nd) those plans people request and agree to purchase once complete, 3rd) those plans I feel like working on, and 4th) the rest. In other words, if want to build one of these boats eventually, let me know. If you want to build one soon, let me know and buy the plans after I respond with price and timing.
