It is a one up design, which is what I was planning on doing anyways but I was approached by a naval architec that offered to sell me plans that he had worked on and planned to build himself.

I like this idea because I will still have a boat that is unique but someone with knowledge has had input into the design. Which is better than what I was planning.

Didn't you design you boat?
