I am building a Riviera runabout using the old Popular Mechanics plans
as my starting point. I have modified the length, beam, stem, and a
bunch of other details. I have been informally studying boat design
and construction for the past couple of years so I think (??) I know
what I'm doing.

I like to talk to anyone who has built a similar type of boat.

Sounds like an old Glen-L design. Glen-L is still very much in business
and they have a website with a builders notice board. You might try
that at <a style='text-decoration: underline;' href="http://www.glen-l.com/" target="_blank">http://www.glen-l.com/</a>

Are you talking about the plans wich are on the Svensons website?

And what do you want to modify??

I think you can better use the Glen-L plans because this boat is bigger and
has a much better look.
The plans you have are based on this boat but this boat is easier to build
but the Glen-L boat looks much better.
