Anybody know of some good 16' wood driftboat plans that are proven?

Finally!  This link should work.

These are just about as good as it gets.

I used a 16' I built from one of his kits as a guide boat on the upper Siletz and smaller Oregon rivers back in the 80's.  With Gluvit on the bottom it was the finest rowing boat I've ever run.  Today I'd give the edge to Clackacraft as a guide boat, but there is just something about a good wood drifter that stirs the soul.
