There are alot of kit boat's available up here right in B.C. if you look around. I really like the Aussies designs and you just don't see them up here much. Conrad marine offers some kits that are close so does Specialty Marine i.e. Steven Pollard (the godfather of aluminum boats) has written a couple of books on the subject and offers plans online. PM me if you want to discuss.
