Downloadable Float Boat Plans – Build your own 16′ Ozark float boat
Based on the design of a flat-bottom boat used by people of the Ozarks in the 19th century, this float boat (sometimes called a Johnboat) is the perfect all-round fishing boat.
Take her out on the flats or canyons. Drop anchor and find fish — bass, blue fish or trout – without a trip to the tropics. Paddle along creeks, ponds and rivers. Attach a small outboard motor or electric trolling engine and cruise easily across the lake or bay.
Wherever you take this boat you can be sure she’ll handle even the roughest waters with ease, and give you (and your friends or family) the opportunity to experience hours of fun and adventure on the water.
