Scull boat plans

Hey guys, I am considering building a scull boat. I would like for it to be a 2 man boat. Where can I get plans for such a boat. Also, who on here has built one and what recommendations / warnings would you care to share? Outboard motor size is not that important to me but it must have one.

Thanks in advance,
Taver
 
Taver,
There's a fella over in your neck of the woods with a Brant II scull boat for sale. Look for Jon Frey.

Taver,
I once ran a search and found a page that was spreadsheet form. It had 10-15 boats with many of their specs: 1-2 man, length, weight, material, builder, etc. I'll try to find a link. I've got an antique mmbgf. The plans for a similar build could be found in Jon Gardniner's book Building small boats.
Do you have a vision of what you want, meaning are you actually going to lean to skull, or will you also hunt as a blind? My boat is displacement style bottom and takes up to a 4 hp. You hunt close to the landing, or leave it where you hunt. Those things are scattered all around the shores of Merry Meeting Bay. All are similar, but different due to a variety of factors. Builders ability, style of hunting materials preferred, etc. the more info you give the more you will receive. Hope this helps.

I actually plan on learning to scull. I enjoy jump shooting ponds from time to time and sculling looks like it could give the same rush sneaking in on them in their element. I know for a fact that with the geese on the lake I live on that I can get WAAAYYYYY upwind of them in a nearly brand new pontoon boat that is white and yellow, shut the engine and radio off, and drift within range of the 10 ga and get my 2 bird limit as long as the condition permit.


Thanks for the links, I'll check them out.
 
I built a two man. Since then I started carving my own decoys and haven't used it as a scull much. If you search by my name the project might come up on this site.
