Ernie - A company called Databoat International sells selected boat plans from various designers, including George Buehler, Charles Wittholz, Bruce Roberts, Ted Brewer and others. Each catalog contains line drawings and brief descriptions of the designs, along with ordering information for both "study plans" and "construction plans." Most of the power boat catalogs are in the $10 to $20 range. The study plans run from $12.50 to $87.75, with the actual construction plans running anywhere from $82 up to over $4,000, depending on the particular design. Databoat's catalogs are divided by category: small boats, sail boats, power boats, houseboats, commercial boats, and multihull boats. Within the power boat category, they list two catalogs containing trawler designs: Catolog #15 - Powerboats and Motor Yachtsboat plans - 90 designs by 14 designers, and Catalog #26 - Cruising Tugs and Trawlers - 35 designs by 7 designers. The first catalog (#15) contains several canoe and rounded stern designs, including both 39' ("Molly C") and 55' ("A.W. Hudeman") full displacement canoe stern designs by Buehler, and a 21 meter rounded stern design by Erwin Haag. The second catalog (#26) contains three cruising tug designs (38', 48', and 56' LOA), all with rounded sterns, designed by Accumar Corporation; an 11.6 meter trawler design (very similar in external appearance to the Pilgrim 40) with an elliptical tug-like stern designed by Dudley Dix Yacht Designs; and a 27' tug design (another elliptical stern) from Pete Culler. Databoat has a website at <http://www.databoat.com/>. I have never ordered any plans from them, so I can't vouch for them. Finally, lest I run afoul of the "no advertisement rule" here on the list, I have absolutely no interest in or affiliation with Databoat. I just find their catalogs to be interesting winter reading material.
