Eric:

A long time ago (probably 15 years) I met a fellow by the name of Roger Crawford who was building the Donovan boat. Try to call him in Oregon City, 503-656-5670.

Also I have a note dated 6/30/2002 from a person that has the Donovan boat plans. His number is 503-829-8503. He is located in Molalla.

A Donovan boat is not a drift boat but a power skiff. It is around 18' long. It is not flat bottomed. The boat is an open boat with a high bow. I believe an outboard rated from 15 to 35 h.p. was used.
