In addition to our house plans and because of a personal affection for Shrimp Trawlers we have designed a set of model Shrimp Boat Plans available for purchase.
65’ Shrimp TrawlerModel plans include two 1/4″ scale drawings showing:
Good morning! About 15 months ago you sent me your plans for a 65 foot shrimp trawler. It took me a while, and I needed quite a bit of research, which included a trip to the Saint Augustine, Florida, Maritime Museum, and an interview with a shrimp, boat owner and captain. I am now sending you pictures of my rendition of a wooden trawler based on your plans. I used mahogany, maple and beech for the hull, decking, and wheelhouse. The booms, ladders and other rigging, are all made of brass with lots of soldering. The base is made of wormy chestnut. An airbrush was very handy for all the details. Thanks for the plans! The plans were great. They gave me everything I needed for shaping the hull and situating the cabin. Enjoy!
