Lost Alviso scull boat plans

Troy Nicolls said:
I am so sorry I missed this! I'm actually building another boat right now using the stitch and glue method. I\m making a youtube of it. I'll attach the link. I have old pictures and such of the Alviso build. Perhaps I'll put together a vid on that if I have time. Check out this link, and my channel if you like.

Man a few slight changes to the transom and the upward angle of the rear hull bottom and that boat would be perfect for a light weight copperhead surface drive and getting into some tight marsh holes.

Boat looks great by the way.

How short do you think could you build the Alviso?

Well... I think the shorter you built it, the more it would wobble while sculling. I think its the wobble that catches the attention of ducks almost as much as the approach. Just my thoughts. I will ask my friend Skip, hopefully this week. I've always wondered the same. However, in the hand crafted advertisement for the alviso, they quote a "junior" model at 12', but recommend persons under 150 pounds.

The actual motor transom will be bolted onto the back of the boat. That will give me the option of making it as high and wide as I like.

Any chance you would have those plans?
 
Ok, so here's a build review I did on my Alviso/ South Bay Sneak Boat. Hope this is helpful to anyone considering building one. There's some bonus footage at the end of me putting it to use "a few years back". I hunted with the Alviso a couple days ago, but haven't published a video on that hunt yet. Finishing up a marsh boat build currently and thinking on the next one...

Not sure by the way you said it, but did adding the slight v-bottom help with tracking?
