The
Garvey 11 is a versatile small power boat. Her ample beam provides exceptional
stability, room, and carrying capacity. She has a moderate deadrise of
10 degrees to provide a softer ride than a flat bottom boat. When you
compare her to a similar length inflatable boat, you will see that the
absence of the inflatable tubes gives much greater interior volume. Her
upraised bow and spray rails gives a very dry ride.
A
5-6 HP motor will plane the boat with 1 person, an 8 HP with 2 average
adults. This boat can use a smaller motor, but she is really designed
to go fast on a plane.

Building
method:
This boat is built in stitch and glue, from flat plywood panels assembled
with epoxy-fiberglass tape. For a detailed description of the stitch and
glue boat building method, see our "How To" section where you will
find a complete illustrated tutorial as well as information about epoxy,
fiberglass and plywood.
Sides
and bottom panels are bent around two frames and the transom: no jig required,
no lofting. The 2 frames are constructed from a few smaller pieces, rather
than cut out from a single piece of plywood, thus saving a complete sheet.
Required
Skills:
The
GV11 is easy and fast to build. The sides are cut from standard sheets
of plywood, dimensions for all the parts are given on the very detailed
plans: 13+ drawings plus step by step building notes.
No woodworking skills or special tools are required.
Options:
The GV11 can be made unsinkable by installing buoyancy foam under the
seats. This option is explained in details on the plans.
