Building Skin-On-Frame Boats
by Robert Morris, Edward R. Turner (Illustrator)

Has all the measurements you would ever need. all measurements are based on the body including length, width height, cockpit size and placement, rib thickness and width. You name it. its probably somewhere in this book.

These measurements could be used for any building style.
