Hello,
I am a first time boat builder and looking to build a 23' rear engine v-drive mahogany boat, with a horseshoe style seating arangement.

My grandfather use to have a Steblow, which I loved but unfortunatly can't afford.
If someone could give me sugestions on where I can find plans to build I would greatly appreciate it.
Here is a link to Streblow's Website to give an idea of what i am after.

Thanks

Re: 23' Rear Engine Mahogany

A first boat of 23' is a huge undertaking. How are your wood working skills? You will be spending major dough on mahogany and white oak.

Starting off with a restoration or a smaller build would let you learn a less costly.

Find something like this to get your skils:

sell it for 10-15k when done and finance your 23' project.

Hmm, I saw NO reference to a PLANKED boat. I guess you could make than inference.

I just saw " 23' rear engine v-drive mahogany boat, with a horseshoe style seating arangement."
