Boat search

Hi, I am wondering if anyone can help me, I'm trying to track down some plans of a boat that my Grandfather Ernie Wolff built back in the 50's in Ashfield, Sydney. The boat, "IT" was a plywood boat and I believe it frequented Lake Budgewoi, Lake Munmora and Hawksbury river areas. My Grandmother recalls a bloke by the name of Bob Gordon in Penshurst Sydney as the designer, but I have had no luck with any searches.
Both my Father and I are keen to build a sister boat in memory of my Grandfather, so any help will be greatly appreciated.
I have included some old photos of the boat in her day

Regards,
Greg Wolff

That is a real nice boat. I reckon if you found some plans of a similar hull you could modify them easily to make it look lie that. Again thanks for sharing the pics.

Thanks for all the replies guys. I wish I asked the Grandfather more about when he was alive.
