Bubba,

That PUXE that has been discussed is just about that. Did you get those posts?

I would be real interested in hearing some discussion on sneakeasy like
projects in the 6 meter size. Actually, I would be interested in any
discussion on 5X1 or 6X1 ration hulls in that size. In fact, if anyone
has a design (original or adapted from a Bolger design) of a 6 meter
boat that will be capable of running the rivers and coastal sounds and
uses a 25 hp or less outboard, I would like to hear it discussed also.

This Bubba is too damn cheap to like feeding the 100 hp plus motors on
normal center console fishing boats. I need an affordable alternative.

To the guy who is looking at lapping ply planking...try checking John
Gardners books, he taught us how to do that in boat building school at
Mystic Seaport years ago, and I think he covers it in one of his books
also. Other books on building must also cover how to cut tapered groves
to lap planking at the stems and transoms. If that doesn't work send me
email off line and I will try and describe what I remember about doing it.
