Great Alaskan 25' to 30' Offshore Fishing-Camping-Commercial Boat

Dave C-P's Great Alaskan, Homer, AK

The Great Alaskan is a very versatile inshore/offshore powerboat with a seaworthy semi-dory style hull. These stitch-n-tape wood/fiberglass boat plans give the builder the freedom to adapt the cuddy, pilot house, and cockpit layout to his or her own preferences. Go fishin' when others are just wishin' - the Great Alaskan burns half the gas that commercial equivalents burn! The plans include 3 different arrangements and 2 different models. The standard Great Alaskan at 25' to 28'6" long by 8'5" wide, and now with the addition of the 27' to 30' by 9'4" wide Great Alaskan Kodiak model, there really isn't any other boat like it!
