Hi Stephen,
If you can find the following issues of Messing About In Boats: Vol.9,
No. 23 April 15, 1992 Mr Bolgers article about the then new
Microtrawler has a picture of the half size prototype for testing the
hull concept at speed. This is or is essentially the "Bee". Vol 12, No
11, October 15, 1994 has a "What Are You Building" article by Steve
Krzysko, of Salem Va. He has built the "Bee" and he made a lengthened
version. Both are pictured in the article. Unfortunately the photos
are not in color. Steve has appropriately painted them in bright Bee
yellow with red stripe. "Bee" is around 7', Steve's lengthened version
is 10'.

Hi,

A while back someone mentioned a Bolger design called a See Bee or Sea
Bee, I forget which. I am not familiar with the type and only found one
grainy small image on a web search for information. It looks a ten foot
version of a sort of sponson equipped skiff in the picture I found.

Does anyone have any links to more and better images/lines plans, etc.
for this little boat?
