Timothy, If you would like to e-mail me at the address above, I'll bring plans for a 11' boat similar the the one Paul was writing about. It may give you some ideas. I work at St. Clair and Yonge, so I'll just need a couple days warning to I remember to put the book in my backpack. If you're interested, I will e-mail you my office phone number.
