What I think would be more valuable is getting some good information out about this guy. He has done a very good job of SEO to get google to feed all searches regarding his site to material he controls. For example a search on "myboatplans review" https://www.google.com/search?q=myboatplans+review comes back with dozens of links to self generated reviews of myboatplans.com. Whoever "Martin Reid" pretends to be, it is obvious he has a good handle on gaming google to obfuscate any real information about him.

As a result there could be people who do not realize that whatever it is he is purporting to sell is actually available for free online or in the worst case may be a repackaging designs that may actually belong to someone else entirely.

I think it would help a lot if someone reputable could do an honest review of myboatplans.com so wary consumers who search for reliable evaluation of the product could find something not written by "Martin Reid". It would not take many discussions like this posted on blogs to get a lot of visibility and likely bring any income stream Martin Reid gets from his efforts below the cost of maintaining his various feeder sites. Appropriate use of words like "review" and "scam" associated with "myboatplans" and "boat plans" " http://www.myboatplans.com/ " etc would quickly rise up in google and help people learn that Martin Reid and myboatplans.com does not appear to be operating honestly.

This may just cause him to start a new site, but at least it would make him work for a living.
