Hi, Does anyone know where I can get plans for a Sakonnet RPS?

Thanks!

While WhalerCentral has a plethora of drawings for various parts:

It does NOT have the Sakonnet drawings.

Ward Grafton however, does have the drawings available for purchase:

Better yet, just buy an original:

Thank you so much!! I just ordered a set.

And thank you for directing me to the RPS on Ebay. Unfortunately the shipping fees to Canada, Canadian border taxes (our taxes in Canada are out of control) and the US-Canada exchange rate would make it too expensive.

Thanks again. This is a fantastic site.

If you have a chance, pay a visit to The Boat Shop in Halifax. The owner, Chris LeBlanc, is a fellow owner and a great guy.

Tell him I sent you.

The RPS was an option on the other 16' models.
So just because a 16 model had the RPS, it did not make it a Sakonnet model.

To be a Sakonnet, you also need to have the Bow Platform or at least the screw holes where it was once removed.

Are you positive you have a Sakonnet model?
See what a Sakonnet model has here inlcuding the Bow Platform.

Hi Joe, Sorry for the late reply. I did find screw holes where the bow platform was was. I'm working to restore it to as close to factory as I can.

Separately, your site is fantastic. Thank you.

Excellent.

Hope you are taking photos along the way of your restore to share with us?
Enjoy
