Designed by Joel White, the original boat was built plank-on-frame by Jimmy Steele (of Peapod fame), but no plans were ever drawn--until now. Tom Hill and Eric Dow have taken lines off the original boat and Tom built the prototype and has drawn a very detailed set of plans for strip construction, including full-sized mold patterns (so no lofting is required).
LOA: 15'6", Beam: 5' 2 1/2", Power: 15-20 hp outboard, Weight: 400 lbs

FAQs:
Are there floorboards?
-No, but the inside bottom of the hull is covered with two layers of 10-ounce woven roving
How are the seat risers attached?
-screwed to the hull from the inside with very shallow bronze screws, mostly to hold the risers in place as the epoxy cured. Screws are left in, but well sealed.
