One of the beauties of building yourself is that you do not have to buy everything at once, just get what you need when you can afford it.

While some of the instructions suggest using exterior plywood, I would always recommend using marine grade.

For many years a favorite of hunters, trappers and traders the kayak now is as popular with Europeans as the outboard boat is with Americans.

Although this boat was designed to carry two people, it will accommodate three in a pinch and gear may be stowed under fore and after decks.

A few strokes with the double paddle will send it gliding across the water with the minimum of effort on your part.

Kayaks are surprisingly seaworthy, too — more stable than a canoe, in fact, because the occupants sit on the bottom of the hull which lowers the center of gravity. 

Pintail and 10ft Duck Boat

'Pintail' drawn from plans by Wm D Jackson is another of the Free Boat Plans from the 'Boat Builder Handbook'. This one is being built by Greg Allore .

If you have ever struggled with the oars of a heavy, slow-moving rowboat and then paddled a swift, high maneuverable canoe you can appreciate why many true sportsmen prefer canoes.

But, too often, the multi-ribbed conventional canoe is not only hard to build but too thin-skinned for hard usage.

This Free Boat Plan teams up plywood and fiberglass to produce a tough, scrape-proof canoe you can build in one-tenth the time it would take you to turn out a conventional canoe.

The use of only one frame offsets the extra weight of using plywood, so that this canoe is still light enough for comfortable portage. 

Little Chief

Little Chief is a canoe with many virtues, ideally adapted to quick, easy construction.

Canoes are not easy to build, but here is one Free Boat Plan that can be made of ordinary materials for a fraction of the cost of conventional canoes.

It has attractive molded lines and may be built either as a paddling model or, with slight changes, adapted for use with small outboard motors.

In all countries of the world, particularly the United States, the kayak is enjoying newfound popularity.

Here's a nimble, lightweight craft that has its roots in the Arctic as a basic instrument of survival, yet is branching out as a modern outdoor sport on our own rivers and lakes.

To the Eskimo, a kayak is more than a boat.

When he's laced into his whale-bone and walrus-hide craft, he's ready for anything in the way of water or weather.

To most of us, however, a kayak is pure adventure and fun.

It's perfect for poking around uninhabited Islands, exploring the bends of a lazy, winding river, or just breaking the peaceful surface of a placid lake at sunset.

Redwood Canoe

You can build this 74lb, 16 foot canoe using redwood strips, an old boat-building technique.

Two persons can sit side by side in the center with one person at each end and plenty of room for gear.

This canoe is formed around plywood templates using redwood strips glued edge to edge.

You lay up the strips, remove the form, and the canoe is complete, except for fiberglassing and putting in the seats. 

The plans can also be used to build a 13-foot version of this strip planked canoe.

Houseboat Free boat Plans

Budget houseboat (trailerable).

The Budget Houseboat is like a camper that goes on water.

She's 20 ft. long with a 9-ft. beam, containing 300 sq. ft. of usable floor area.

This means that while she can accommodate two in outrageous comfort, she can easily take a family of four on an extended vacation and be entirely self-contained.

There are two full-size permanent bunks in the forward section of the cabin.

The dining table, in the rear section of the cabin, seats four and then drops down to convert into an extra bunk 6 ft. 4 in. long and 38 in. wide.

Cabin headroom is 6 ft. 2 in., and two cots can be stationed to the rear of the cabin area.

Bayou Belle

Bayou Belle is a 25' scow that can be built as a sports utility, a fishing boat, or a houseboat, depending on your requirements for pleasure offshore.

As a sports utility, she can be used for towing water skiers and for cruising, as a fishing boat, she offers a stable platform with plenty of elbow room and stowage space.

As a houseboat, she has roomy interior accommodations for a leisurely life afloat.

Construction of Bayou Belle makes use of prefabricated sections, which means that much of the work can be done indoors in the average garage during the cold winter months, and the boat completed outdoors in time for launching in late spring.

Float-A-Home

A houseboat is a unique water craft in that it combines most of the comforts of home with the mobility of a boat.

Of course, use is limited to sheltered waters, and speeds are slow in comparison to more sea worthy vessels.

Float-A-Home is a 21-footer that provides plenty of living space for three or four persons.

An extremely simple houseboat to build, the free boat plans feature a strong hull with a heavy keel and close-spaced framing.

This, coupled with a relatively low profile, makes it a very stable craft.

It is with a heavy heart that I have to pass along the news that Pat Atkin passed away peacefully yesterday (May 15, 2022). As I get more information, I'll pass it along. It has long been the plan to ensure the legacy of John and William Atkin's plans. All the plans are now in the expert care of Mystic Seaport. She will be greatly missed by the wooden boat community.

Here is a link to her Obituary

Boat plans are now offered through

The name Atkin has long been associated with the best in basic boats. If you are looking for "the right little boat" to build -- or have built -- or if you just like to dream over boat plans -- you'll be delighted with the wooden boat design collections of John (1918-1999) and William (1882-1962) Atkin, which are now being sold by John's widow, Pat.

Having provided three generations with practical, well-proven wooden boat designs, our site offers more than 300 designs including famed Atkin double-enders, traditional offshore and coastal cruising yachts, rowing/sailing dinghies, utilities and houseboats. Many of the designs represent great simplicity and make excellent projects for amateur builders. Superbly drawn study plans, usually copies of the original "how-to-build" magazine articles by William or John Atkin, will help you choose the boat best suited to your level of boatbuilding skill.

Complete designs include the lines; table of offsets; construction plan elevation and sections; arrangement plan elevation and sections; sail plan (or outboard profile); deck plan and numerous details as required. Scantlings are lettered on the working drawings. Also included are Xerox prints of the original "how-to-build" text as it appeared in the MoToR BoatinG magazine articles written by Billy and John Atkin. All designs require lofting before building.

These plans contain all the information necessary for an amateur to successfully build a boat, but the older plans assume the builder has some familiarity with boat construction and the use of tools. Please Do Not stray from the plans and modify your Atkin boat. If you cannot resist the urge to second guess John or William Atkin you do so at your own risk; the resulting boat will no longer be an Atkin design and Atkin & Co. will take no responsibility for its performance! Just follow Billy Atkin's advice: "Now do not be tempted to pull the ends out, raise the sheer heights, swoop up the bow or stern, or do the many things a boat plan always impels one to do. Just put this... boat together and see how well she performs."

Unless otherwise specified, construction is traditional plank on frame. Most of the flat-bottom boats can easily be converted to plywood planking. V-bottoms with straight sections may look like plywood will wrap easily around them, but but in reality, V-bottoms not specifically designed for sheet plywood may be very difficult, or impossible, to plank with plywood sheets.

We are in a state of transition. No new orders are being accepted at this time.

Description

Additional information.

Poor Jon20, he's just a big dumb jonboat. 20 feet long and 6' wide on the bottom, 7.5' wide on the top. It takes a ton to set it 4" down in the water, and I expect the empty hull might weigh 600 pounds. So let's say she weighs about a half ton with a minimum motor and crew and gear. If you had a long shaft motor and could build up the transom for it I think the Coast Guard type of capacity rating would be about two tons.

Interesting to design such a beast. Lots of traps I think. Almost all involve the huge flat bottom, always a problem. When the bottom goes over 4' wide you can only cross plank with the plywood sheets. So now you need a butt joint every 4'. On Jon20 I've used a frame who's wide bottom framing stick is to be the butt plate. I think it will work but it gives a frame every 4' and some people like a boat that is more open than that. Then I ran two deep skid/stiffeners along the bottom full length in hopes the thing won't self destruct as someone drives it into the waves head first.

Hey, that brings up another point about these things. The Coast Guard would give a low power rating to wide flat boats like this because they are nasty handlers. In spite of Jon20's size, max rated `power would be 50 hp. And even in its lightest state it would take 20 hp to run it on plane.

Looks like eleven sheets of ½" plywood, nail and glue construction but that big wide bottom had best be armored on the outside with a good layer of glass/epoxy.

Powering Jon20

...A simple 20' jonboat. The bottom is a constant 6' wide and the empty hull shell might weigh 600 pounds. The hull depth is 2', the transom is shown for a short 15" shaft motor but there is a motor well in front of it which goes to the hull's top so a 15" wave over the stern won't flood anything, it would take a 24" wave to go over the bow, sides or stern.

HOW MUCH POWER WILL THIS THING TAKE???

....I go straight to a Coast Guard publication for this now. I don't guess at it. I suppose a long time ago an expert wrote the pub and you can go ahead and pick at the methods if you want. But I follow them. They don't make totaly sense in every way but what are you gonna do when giving guidelines to the public. Twenty years of dealing with the public has shown me that many highly educated people refuse to do any math at all. So you won't be bothered multiplying hull length times hull beam...so join the crowd. I don't really know if these Coast Guard max calculations have any legal value. I assume they are guidelines. But every factory boat will be placarded with such a number and I doubt if any good shop will fit more power than the recommended.

First, take overall length, 20' here. Then take max stern beam, 7.5'. Multiply to get the "factor", that's 150 for the Jon20. Then the publication has charts that conjure up the max hp allowed, in this case for a hard chined flat bottom it is about 55 hp.

MINIMUM POWER???

...The old rule that I think you can bank on is if you want to plane you need a hp for each 50 pounds afloat. Now this boat is made from a 600 pound pile of plywood and the finished bare hull out to weigh about that. Let's add say 100 pounds for a minimum motor and maybe 50 pounds of fuel and 50 pounds of general gear and maybe 200 pounds for you and you are floating 1000 pounds. That would be about the minimum weight the boat would ever be used at. Apply the old rule and you will need 20 hp to have a chance to plane it. But this is a bit boat that can easily swallow another half ton of stuff. Then you need 40 hp to plane with any margin at that heavy weight. "But," you argue, "I don't have a thousand pounds of friends." You might do fine with 30 hp.

MINIMUM MINIMUM POWER???

...The old rule about non planing power is a horse for every 500 pounds. So 4hp would suit. Why have such a big boat with such small power? I worked at a marina where they had a big aluminim jonboat, maybe a Lowe, a fine job, which they would rent to big family groups. It had no more than 10hp and would not plane so it was safe when Farmer John brought his family out to the lake once a year. Later we used the big jon as a work boat and the little motor was great. It was so big and stable that you would rather work from it than from a dock.

BUT WAIT....

...none of this says anything about how fast it goes. I think I'm getting a lot better at this than I used to be. The tricks involved were finding the speed/drag data that the Hullform (link to a free download provide way down in the links section) program provides, time spent making a gadget that measured speed/drag on my AF4. The Hullform data and the measured drag more or less agreed, much to my surprise! What didn't make sense was that it appeared that only about 1/3 of the rated power ended up as "thrust". Then a faithful reader, who did his math, said that the prop eats up the other 2/3rds of the power. Even the best props only allow you to convert half of your rated hp into thrust power.

THRUST POWER???...

Ok, horsepower is to me a measure of pushing a force at a certain speed. In the dictionary one horsepower is 33000 pounds times feet per minute. So just imagine your horse pulling on a wagon with a drag of 330 pounds at 100 feet per minute ((about 1mph) and you are watching a horsepower in action. They said the usual work horse could do that for 8 hours, go home, and come back and do it again the next day, etc., etc.. I'm thinking trained human atheletes can put out a full horse power for maybe an hour at a time, more on steroids. But most of us are good for maybe an eighth of that. I suppose a racehorse might put out ten hp for a lap.

So when you look at at drag/speed curve from Hullform you are in a general way looking at a horsepower chart. At least by going through all the apples to oranges conversions you can pick a point of the Hullform curve and say it takes X horsepower to get there. But remember that X horse power on that curve is thrust at the prop, and to get X delivered by the prop you need a powerhead that puts out about 3X. So, with that behind us, here is the Hullform guess and the Jon20 drag/speed chart:

I've got to admit I don't know for sure if I got all the apples/oranges in proper conversion (I write this an hour or so before deadline) but it all looks believable to me. The "hp" lines have already been given the 3 factor, thus the 30hp line here will actually calculate out to 10hp if you run the numbers on the chart. Such is life!

Well, it all makes sense to me. At the low end 5hp will push all of the weights to "hull speed". And it takes 20 to "plane" it with any margin in the lighter weights. At 2000 pounds 20hp won't really be enough. It looks like 25 knots will be about the max speed you could have with the Coast Guard max motor and that sounds reasonable too. Best of all, the Hullform professors have to me proven once again the validity of that "50 pounds per hp" rule.
