The MRBoats boat plans have been free for about a year now. It took me that long to rewrite the software (the content management system) that publishes the website. And during that process there were too many bugs and broken links to charge for the plans. But It's all up and running now. And now I need a new camera. So I'm charging 25 bucks for access to three online plan sets again. Still a bargain. No one yet (not once) who has actually built one of those boats has given anything less…

So I'm charging 25 bucks for access to three online plan sets again. Still a bargain. No one yet (not once) who has actually built one of those boats has given anything less than praise. :=)) Building from plans (not from a kit) has advantages. It puts you closer to the design process. After one boat from plans, many new builders are ready to venture into designing their own. That's the fun part.

I was searching through the archives, and came across this old post. I have stopped by the MR site many times to get ideas/advice/knowledge, but the plans don't seem to be free anymore....?

RE> "Is it the hassel or just moving on? Just curious."<br />
<br />
Yes and yes. The logins paid for the website and they bought me a new shop tool every once in a while.<br />
But the pay rate isn't much. I'd rather give it away. Google ads pay for the website now anyway.<br />
So the website will never go away. Theoretically I can now spend more time in my boat shop.<br />
I want to build a one man boat this winter.<br />
That's all I want to think about for a while.<br />
