Plans for a US Navy 50' Motor Launch

by George l
(San Diego CA)

In the 70's I got tangled up with a surplus navy motor launch.

I was planning to convert it to a commercial fishing boat but found a less expensive way to go....

The white elephant is long gone but I still have 6 sheets of brown line plans...profile, plan view, lofting tables (mold loft tables) and sections.

All sheets in good/usable/mostly legible condition. dated 3/9/29.

Free to anyone wanting to mess with one of those 50' critters.

 Will buy copy of plans
by: George W Jackson

I am an author with a pen name of G. William Weatherly.

One of the things that I do for my novels is make CAD replicas of the ships and boats in my books.

Currently, I am trying to design the 50 foot motor launches that figure prominently in my second novel.

I am willing to pay for the reproduction, shipping, and handling with a reasonable additional stipend for your effort.

Please respond to gwmweatherly@aol.com with a title of 50 foot motor launch plans.

 Gig Length
by: Anonymous

Modern Captain's Gigs generally run around 36 feet(length).

Admiral's Barges generally run 40 Feet

I'm betting this is what is being mentioned.

(Think launches used in and around Pearl Harbor during WWII).

Just a thought, I could be wrong, it's happened before and it'll happen again. :)
