I think one of Friedman's books (title escapes me though I have a copy in storage - might be 'Brown water navy') has plans of various riverine craft, including PBR.

Dr Al Ross a member of the forum has a site Coastal Forces Plans on which I'm sure there are plans for a PBR.

For some reason the link I have is not working, I would suggest Google
