here's a couple of sources...course they're for strip built,
try Mystic for the real deal.

First, get "The Adirondack Guide-Boat" by Durant and Durant. It is the single best book on the subject.

Plans for four traditionally built guideboats are available from the Adirondack Museum. The Grant Ghost and Warren Cole boats are on their web store. A couple more that were also drawn by David Dillion are also available. One is a Parsons, the other I can't remember offhand. These plans can also be adapted for other construction techniques.

"Building an Adirondack Guideboat: Wood Strip Reproductions of the Virginia"
by Olivette and Michne is a decent book about building strip style with laminated frames.
