I need a source for drawings of US Navy ships boats.

Are you talking blueprints or art?

I don't know a source off-hand, but what era and for what class of ships are you looking for ships' boats?

After looking through my files, it doesn't look like I have blueprints (or line art for that matter) for any US small boats.

Sorry.

You might contact these folks, they may have some drawings or direction to look.

This might be a better source for some direction in getting drawings.

It looks as though the maryland silver company has added to their plans list with revenue cutters and ships boats. I saw plans for the 30 ft whale boat and a steam launch.

Hmmm... not sure, but I think the very first image on that site is ripped off from Troels Hansen's work as shown on Dreadnought Project and his own site. Perhaps they have permission, but they don't credit him.
