When I was in high school the fisherman’s kids drew pictures of fishing boats with each line of the rigging rendered to perfection. After decades on fishboats some of these guys, and others, are making detailed scale models. I hope to publish a few here.

I am making model boats also…will post photos shortly
Do you sell them
I would like to know if you have a model of a boat called the Seiner? My grandparents owned a fisher boat located in Alaska called the Amber Lynn. In January 2015 will be thier 50th Wedding anniversary. We would love to have a replica of the Amber Lynn to give to them. If at all possible please contact me at the email listed. mcginnesswendy@yahoo.com
I’m looking for a model of a west coast troller, preferrably r/c or r/c capable, wood or glass, finished or in progress. Also interested in available plans.
Thanks
Have you found a set of plans for an RC model. I’ve looked for a long time, none yet. I have built RC planes but would look to build. A double ender troller. I’m not up to building from scratch.
