MR. JOHN is the type of boat known by various names such as
john, jon, or joe boat; punt, garvey, scow, or bateau...
different words with the same meaning. A simple boat at its best
for fishing along streams, a bayou, or a lake. Power it with a
small outboard, row it, pole it, or scull it as suits your
fancy.
MR. JOHN can be built in either 11'-9" or
13'-7" versions. Details for building both are shown in
the plans. The plans are particularly simple with concise
instructions. Included are layouts for cutting the plywood
components, fastening schedule, material listing, and of course
the step-by-step procedures for building the boat. And most
important... the cost to build has been kept to a minimum by the
careful selection of stock sizes of material and the complete
use of all plywood panels.
