Hi all,

I've been doing research for a boat for salt marsh hunting in the Northeast. Someone reccomended one boat... the "Roy Boat" aka Roy Schellinger High Boat, which was built by a man down in Jersey up until 2010-2015?? I am wondering if plans for this boat exist online somewhere.

Heres a youtube video that shows off the boat:

Any help is appreciated!

Welcome. At least a couple of Roy boat owners here. I imagine they'll chime in. A lot of talk about that boat here for years. No plans I'm aware of as I also asked.

These are custom built boats made by Roy. They are complete fiberglass.

There are not plans to build them out of wood/glass. I have a few Roy boats/ But my 12 foot high will probably be buried with me!

There are a hot commodity here in New Jersey. As they suit our conditions very well. But if you keep your eyes peeled you may be able to find one in the secondary market. My 12 foot boat was one of the first high boxes he made built in 1984.

Kurt,

As @jode hillman mentioned, they are fiberglass built from a mold. You would need the mold to actually recreate the boat. Some folks have used their imagination and adapted something similar. I have a buddy who took an old ski boat hull, and basically made a Roy High Box/Duck Invader hybrid with flapper boards.

You are going to have a very, very hard time finding one on the secondary market. Most are pre-sold spoken for and the ones that are listed usually have a cash offer within an hour or two. There's a few 14's out there and from what I know, the owners are not selling any time soon.

I know you mentioned in another post that you would like your father who is 60 to be a little more comfortable. The Roy's are a little bit better ergonomically than the Duck Invader 13. However, your father will still need to sit on a chopped down milk crate or a full size one if he's shorter.

Back to what I mentioned, I think for your application the best thing here is to adapt a hull to suit your needs.
