a 20½’ or 19' express cruiser sportfisher
CATEGORY: Sportsfisher - Cruisers
CONSTRUCTION: Sheet plywood planking/wood framing or welded aluminum
Our MACKINAW express cruiser features a 2-berth cabin with portable head so you can lay over while enjoying fishing, diving, or other watersports. A roomy cockpit provides plenty of space. And there’s plenty of fuel capacity for long runs - no need to rush home after a day’s fun as with less-commodious boats. Based on our "WIDE-TRACK" hull, outdoorsmen will appreciate this beamy, fast, and stable design. The deep-v (45º bow deadrise) forefoot blending into a semi-v (13º transom deadrise) aft provides an easy ride. Flaring topsides with integral chine flats knock down spray. Power can be single outboard or I/O’s to 900 lbs. (700 lbs. with 19' length).
With construction aimed at do-it-yourself builders, (even first-timers!), you can build from sheet plywood (½" bottom, 3/8" sides) over sawn frames, or welded aluminum (3/16" bottom, 1/8" sides). Plans include FULL SIZE PATTERNS for frame members, instructions, material listings, plus a fastening schedule on the wood version. Boat trailer plans are also available as well as fastening and fiberglass covering kits on the wood version.
