I don't think there are any large scale kits.
Lindberg makes a (spy) trawler, kit that is similar to a shrimp boat, but
it is a pretty small scale.

Lots of discussion, but no kit... Plans, Maybe.

Also, you might lookinto Billings Boats' model of the Andrea Gail, and
see if that suits your tastes. :)

there are plans "advertised" here on RC Groups and Microglass will offer a hull (one of which I have) for a shrimper... there is hope! :)

I am very fond of these old shrimpers... Spent lots of time in the Coastal Carolinas myself... :)
