Dayboat 23
Designed by Michael Storer
The Dayboat 23 is a trailerable outboard launch, 23 ft long and 6 ft 6 in in beam, for cruising under outboard power. She is built from prefabricated plywood panels, so much of the work is done flat before the hull is assembled.
The plans come bundled with a 27 ft extended version, Venezia, drawn as a riverboat and canal boat for Venice, which the designer describes as adding back the stern that was chopped off the 23 footer.
What building a Dayboat 23 actually takes
Medians from the build logs kept on this site, not the designer’s estimate. Nobody has logged this boat here yet, so they are empty until the first builder does.
Those medians firm up as more people log this boat.
