Graham -
Sounds like a good idea - wonder if it could all just be "stretched" by a copy machine (after I buy plans), by 111%.
Would this be in both X and Y directions?
Years back I built the ROUSTABOUT I/O runabout from Glen L. Have never seen any of their S&G plans - don't they supply "flat" dimensional patterns - showning flat projection of required hull plywood parts?
I have emailed with Ray Macke quite a bit, learning how he build his "stretched (1-way)" Cabin Skiff. He made so many changes, along his build, he ended up often he said - having to go it alone, without plans per se.

: Could you not just enlarge the existing design? To make it 19' instead of 17' would simply require the drawings being enlarged to 111%, this would not only stretch it but would also widen and deepen it in the correct proportions.
: Any company with a large copy machine ought to be able to do this for you for a reasonable fee.
