Hi,
A good place to look for a suitable boat, homebuilt, is the following web
page http://www.duckworksmagazine.com
Its part an online store and part free. But it has in the plan section with
nearly all the wooden boat designers in a row. I know there are a few which
have drawings for a boat which splits in half or folds up. Might be a wee
bit smaller as you requested but the idea might be useful. Just an example,
http://www.duckworksbbs.com/plans/benjamin/stasha/index.htm
Just a thought you need a backbone, keel, for the boat . So why not use the
engine/boiler assembly base as a fixed unit and slide the bow and stern
piece over this. Joining them somewhere in the middle of the engine set.
Regards

Mostly I'm interested in finding out about the hull design issues..... I'd
have thought it's possible to do it with five sheets of marine ply... one
for the centre section, then two each for prow and stern sections, I was
trying tofind out if anyone else had built a 15-20 foot launch with a
splittable hull.... I have nowhere I can keep a craft that big if it doesn't
came apart...... and I doubt I can really sensibly build a 10-foot craft
with steam paddles that will carry more than one other person....
