   @LewZ Nice forty boat! I recall seeing this model (or one similar to it) in a model magazine about 1972-73, very impressive.

   There are plans out there for the 40 footer's. The original model was built by Mike Shriver back in the early 1970's. He made the plans. It was powered by an O & R engine (gas) with direct drive. No neutral or reverse. I believe it was 47 inches long.

   Ran these "Forty" boats back in the 1970's. Our crews nick named "Tow Trucks", they could tow a 90' commercial fishing dragger with great ease. One of the better looking models of a great CG craft, nice job!
