About me

For many years I had almost no budget to build a boat so I searched the internet for free plywood boat plans and budget materials. I found out that there are many sites available with free plywood boat plans but most of them are old, have broken links, and missing images.

It’s difficult to find free plywood boat plans that suit your needs when there are so many old and broken websites out there. But, because there are still so many good free boat plans out there I decided to make an accessible website of all the boat plans I could find. Just to make it easier for you to find the free boat plans you need. Nicely categorized for an easy browsing experience. All the links will be up to date.

If you have a website with your own designs and free plans or know of any free boat plans that are not yet on my website please let me know so I can add them to share.
