Share This Page!

PARTY BOAT, deck boat, fun boat, call it what you will boat. It's a spacious wide open cockpit sitting atop an efficient hull. Pack it with passengers and take off to a remote area for picnics. Tow water skiers? Right on, and there is plenty of room for passengers. Fishing? Sure, add a trolling motor and equip the bow deck with a chair and you're set up for some wicked fly, bass or walleye chasing and catching. The interior layout shows cabinetry that can contain sink, stove, and ice box. The layout is versatile; the seats could be converted to berths, and with a canopy you have an overnighter. Or, modify the interior to suit the needs of your family.

The hull has a generous vee with flat area at the chine to cut down the spray on a windy day and stabilize the hull at rest. The full length 15 degree monohedron bottom assures flat running at all speeds and a soft ride when that afternoon chop kicks up. The forward deck area extends beyond the hull underbody to knock down spray and provide a roomy area for fishing or just plain relaxing.

The bottom is 3/4" thick reinforced with bulkhead type frames with vertical longitudinals between. And for ease of construction, the forward portion of the sheer is a patterned sawn harpin to eliminate bending wood around the curvature. This is a tough rugged hull. Power it with a total of 200 shaft horsepower and you'll hit speeds in the 35 mph range, or for economy, 65 HP will get you in the mid 20 mph range.

And the building should be well within the abilities of the average handy person. The complete plans include progressive written instructions, size, type, and number of fasteners to use at each junction is given and complete specifications for the lumber and plywood. Plus full size patterns with each frame fully detailed to simplify the building even more; no lofting or dimensional layouts are required when you build the PARTY BOAT.

    Party Boat Speed Chart

    The speeds listed below are approximate for outboard or I/O motors based on 3300 lbs. displacement and are not guaranteed. All speeds assume true hull lines with properly size propellers with gearing suitable for the motor being used. Horsepower is given as constant rated Shaft Horsepower (SHP) not Brake Horsepower (BHP) or intermittent ratings. If only BHP is known, multiply this by .70 for approximate constant SHP. Figures assume S.A.E. ratings; if figures are given in D.I.N., subtract about 8%. KW ratings will be about 75% of the S.A.E. In the following chart, S/L refers to the Speed Length ratio; the speed divided by the square root of the waterline length.

    S/L Ratio SHP Knots MPH
    3.0 29 13.1 15.1
    4.0 51 17.4 20.0
    5.0 79 21.8 25.0
    6.0 101 26.2 30.1
    7.0 150 30.5 35.1
    8.0 200 34.9 40.1*
    9.0 250 39.2 45.1
    10.0 310 43.6 50.6
    *Pushing the hull beyond this speed is possible, but excessive.
