Hi All Can any one tell me how I can scale down the plans for the 72
inch offshore mono to 48 to 54 inch. Thank you.

Take the files to a print shop and have them print them at 75%. That
will make it 54 inches long, however that will also make the stringers
only about 3 3/4 inches apart which will make mounting a motor between
them hard. Doug

Thank you Doug, But I think I am going to go with the wildthing, However
I have been trying to print out the plans with a HP printer, I cant seem
to get it to print more then one sheet so I can put the all togather.
Would it be better to take the file to a print shop? Also hobby plywood
is very costly, Do you think I can use 1/8 inch door skin? if I seal it
good?

I use 3/16 birch ply for the stringers and bulkheads, but I do use 1/8"
luan door skins for the outer skin. It works great and is cheap. What
motor are you planning to use in the boat? I have a newer version than
is available on this site if you are planning on using a Zenoah or some
other engine with significant power. If you are going to run a heavy
motor with not too much power like a weedeater motor the older one on
here may be better. However the newer design has not been tested by
anyone, including me so whether it is actually an improvement is still
a question, I am going to build the newer version over the winter and
try it next year. Doug

Thanks Doug for the info, I have a Homelite weedeater 26cc that I was
planning on using, I was also thinking of trying to do some of the
motor hop ups on forum, I would love to get a Zenoah for it.

Thank you Doug
