Re: [bolger] Re: minimalist boater
Oh yeah, Dockbox ! One day I want to build that boat, as well as The Sow's
Ear. Michalaks boats definitely have their own "signature", dont you think ?

Ahah!
Those magazine designs from last mid century sometimes were
pretty goofy, but I've never seen anything before like Crawdad.
The only boat that seems comparable is Jim Michalak's little
LOL 'Dockbox'. While that might be more snug some squally
night; out of only three ply sheets, Crawdad is a shippy
little dayboat. How large have people had to have their
boats to get a big, open cockpit and some shade?
Transporting on the cartop might get a little too much of
the wrong kind of attention, but it's perfect for in back of
a pickup truck or on the tiniest trailer / dolly.
Glad you enjoy it,

Transporting on the cartop might get a little too much of

Glad you enjoy it,
