   The SportzMaster 19 had to be simple. It had to combine the comfort for those family outings, whether it be swimming, diving or just enjoying the day, but at the same time she also had to satisfy those who are into serious fishing and competition.   
Not content though with being just another boat, where they all begin to look the same, the SportzMaster 19 also had to be different. With her flared bows and strong sheerline, she had to be tough and rugged, yet simple in her concept, yet all the while telling you of her purpose and nature.

The SportzMaster 19's personality manifests itself in the way she takes the sea. In a way, the SportzMaster 19 becomes an extension of the rod, unequaled as a partner in the battle, her reliability borders on relentless. To say the SportzMaster 19 is tough is to speak an understatement of immeasurable proportions. There is nothing casual in her lines or timid in her performance. She is a Sportz boat that is all business.The business of fishing, sportz and play.
Quite simply, the SportzMaster 19's is a yardstick by which others are measured.
"No game's, Just Sportz" is not just a slogan: it's a statement.

   When it comes to taking the waves head-on, the SM19 packs a mighty punch. Big boat attitude in a small easy package describes the SportzMaster 19 in perfect detail.

    The cockpit is open and uncluttered, giving you plenty of fish fighting room. Its console provides plenty of room for electronics and a removable transom gate allows access to the integral swim platform and starboard. Up forward the SportzMaster 19 has ample seating for your family and friends to lounge around with a ton of storage underneath.
 Easy to maintain and trailer, your SportzMaster 19 will provide you with years of family fun and offshore memories.

 CHIPBOARD or MDF
8ft by 4ft (2.44 x1.22m) 19mm (3/4") - 8 sheets approx.

WESTERN RED CEDAR/ PAULOWNIA TIMBER
30mm x 12mm  - 26 sq.m (292 sq/ft) - Hull planking/ decking

MARINE PLYWOOD
9mm (3/8") - 5 sheets approx.
12mm (1/2") - 9 sheets approx
 
RESIN & GLASS (for coatings and reinforced areas)
FGI (R-180, H-180) Epoxy resin & Hardener - 125kg
450g/sq.m Biaxial fabric - 90 sq.m  (50kg roll)
4 kg glue powder ( Cabosil )
6 kg Q-Cells ( fairing powder)

The following list of materials is approximate and intended for calculation of approximate costs. We offer no guarantees of accuracy. The list is for all timber in the construction of hull, deck and interior, including building stocks, temporary bracing etc. Allowance has been made in the quantities for about 10% wastage, with the exception of the building stocks and chipboard, which are net. These figures allow for building with 1/2 in (12mm) Kiri or Western Red Cedar skin for the hull and 3/8 in (9mm) plywood for the deck, joinery and cockpit sole. All frames and bulkheads are constructed from 1/2 in (12mm)  Plywood.
Resin & glass quantities are only approx

     The SportzMaster 19 is a composite strip plank design while the interior framing and joinery is constructed from Gabon or Okoume plywood. Using Paulownia timber or Western Red Cedar as the core and sandwiched in epoxy and directional E-glass fabrics, this overall result's in a stronger, tougher and more durable "Composite" boat, while still retaining its lightweight construction.

Received my anxiously awaited plans for the SportzMaster 19 today!!!
What can I say about the plans...Well they are absolutely AWESOME.
They are so professional and there is so much of it. Every tiny minute detail is catered for, even a detailed plan for the jig. Value for money is an understatement, these plans are truly excellent.
Now I just need to select overdrive and finish my present boat build so I can start on the SportzMaster. It is the best incentive I could have.

My advice to anyone thinking about building there own boat is to just go ahead and take the plunge, with plans and advice as good as this it will be easier than you think.
Thanks again Mark and Debbie for sharing you talents, your wealth of knowledge and experience with us.
It is very much appreciated.
Best Regards.
Steve

G'day all
I finally received my anxiously awaited plans for the SportzMaster 19 today !! And it didn't take me long to crack the tube open to have a look.
Wow, the drawings are incredible. So much detail has been put on paper, every thing from the jig to the final fit out, plus a comprehensive builders manual.
I am so glad that I changed my mind not to build another boat from an American designer.
regards
Con

I launched the boat this morning in Pumistone Passage and the performance was exceptional.
It got to the plane at 10 to 11 knots and was over the hump at 12.5 to 13 knots the acceleration is scary to  35 knots +. The boat travels as straight as and its cornering is superb with no hint of undue list or skid. Two people can stand on the one gunwale with minimum list and you could fish comfortably.

Movement of one person to any position at any speed makes no difference to its steering characteristics and there is no list whatsoever.
Crossing over the wake of several boats travelling at 15 to 20 knots the boat had virtually no slap and no rudder correction was needed.
I have towed up to 6 dories behind a mother ship anywhere from Mackay Queensland to the Darnleys in the Torres Straits and would have no hesitation hooking the SportsMaster up anywhere in the train and heading off in any weather in my book.. that means its good.
I will have no hesitation to take the boat out wide in fact I am looking forward to it and I will give you my assessment.
Mark,you have my second accolade and are to be complemented on the SportsMaster design.
Cheers
Graham
