Hi Bonnie,

I know of 3 designs that fall between 13 & 16 feet. If you stretch the requirement from 16' to 16.5' there are another 3. Listed below are the designs.

Bear Mountain / Steve Killing Designed "Venture" it's specs are: 14' long, 22" beam, 12.5" deep.

John Winters / Green Valley Boat Works "Tasman Sea" it's specs are: 13.5' long, 25" beam

John Winters / Green Valley Boat Works "Caspian Sea" it's specs are: 15'3" long, 24" beam

In going to 16.5' you have these options:

Guillemot Kayaks designed "Guillemot Play" it's specs are: 16.5' long, 22.5" beam

Bear Mountain / Steve Killing Designed "Resolute" it's specs are: 16.5' long, 25.4" beam

and the

Laughing Loon designed "Georgian Bay" it's specs are: 16.5' long, 24" beam

You can also modify any plans that you come across fairly easily (usually to a max of 10% of length) simply by changing the spacing of the building forms.
