JBRoberts Posted June 10, 2011 Posted June 10, 2011 Folks...I'm trying to decide on my next build and it will be in the 22-25 foot range. I know there was going to be a bigger OB 20 called OB24 but does anyone know when the plans will be ready ? I have seen the line drawing and this looks a beautiful boat. Many thanks...JB Quote
Hirilonde Posted June 10, 2011 Posted June 10, 2011 The only one who can answer this is Graham himself. He often visits the forum but it might yield a quicker answer to call or e-mail him directly. Quote
potomac Posted June 13, 2011 Posted June 13, 2011 When last I communicated with Graham on this topic, he said he was finishing up a 22 1/2', but it didn't sound certain if he was going forward with a 24'. The 22 1/2' looks quite nice and I believe offers standing room in the pilot house and enlarged galley. Something about the proportion of the original 20' design strikes my eye as just about perfect. Great Falls Boatworks has a drawing of the 22 1/2' here My link. Quote

I really like the OB24 line drawing that was on this site and hope it becomes available. The OB22 1/2 is a pretty boat also...any ideas if any plans will be available for us amateur builders ?

Hirilonde Posted June 15, 2011 Posted June 15, 2011 I have a compression unit in the shop that will allow me to squeeze teh 22 1/2 OB in and out of it. Oooh, I want one of those! It's interesting to read discussions about boat length, size, capacity and all. There are so many varied opinions, needs, wants, etc.. My next build is still a ways off, but I am already thinking about this. The only thing I am sure of is that no matter what size boat I build there will be something about it I will wish was different. Quote
Gordy Hill Posted June 15, 2011 Posted June 15, 2011 It seems that any boat I've owned for any length of time was two feet too short. Quote
