open boat or launch

I have a plan of a small open launch I am trying to resize to the Borkum. From the picture and write up of the kit the length is 31.6" and width is 11.6" so a start.If any one has done the kit or knows where I can get some more measurements it would be a big help.Depth,distance between frames and anything else that may help.

There are plenty around - i have a few digital plans too - pm me with your email address -will send you a list .
Also check Sarik for plans under steamboats -
Vic Smeed did a very nice clinker open launch River Queen and a half size River Princess - depends which size you need . A picture of a friends one is posted elsewhere on this site a while ago - his one runs on a LARGE Stuart Double 10 and a 3 Drum Yarrow boiler. Hull is genuine teak.
A search under Steam Boats will find the thread

open boat or launch

I found two boat kits by Krick on the Cornwall model boat site 1 the Alexandra steam launch and 2 the Borkum island supply vessel.Both would make good open boats for live steam.The kits are a little above my price range,Looking at each I know I can build one of them if I can find a plan.My question is are there plans that may like look like either of these kits.
