Re: Opinions Please!
> you mean the aft cabin plus the windshield make the sheer looklumpy?
>I mean two things.
The shear, minus the windshield and the cabin looks lumpy. This
might not be the case in the real boat, that would have more texture
to it, with different detail blending in in different horizontal
planes, and maybe it would look great. But the kind of thing I am
refering to is the way the level of the shear is higher at the front
of the cabin that the back, as though they were parts of different
lines, and behind the cabin there is a little level change again.
There are also a bunch of fillets that interupt the line. I like th
line to have a good sweep without the cabin, or if there are level
changes for these to be picked up by other features like trim. It is
just the way it struck me.
The other part of it is the number of doodads that are sticking up
one everything. Nothing really rong with that, and they would look
differently in real life. On the single plane picture they
contribute to the air of business which may be unfair. I don't like
the way the cabin has a bevel at the front and back of its roof line
and how that links to the bevels of the shear. If you can find the
Baby Bootlegger of comuters, then some judicious copying might be in
order. I like Ruell Parkers Comuter 36, but don't think it would
necesarily work here. Other than that boat I am not too
knowledgeable about the type. There have been various articles in
Woodenboat.
The cover of woodenbat 115 has the picture of the lobsterboat I was
refering to. If you have 150, it has small shots of all the covers.
One way of making the boat look a little less moder is to let the
roof overhang be relatively unsuported, just a small side panel
gusset. They managed beutiful effects with what amounts to shack
construction.

Funny how investing big $$$ in a boat how you have to stay focused.
Especially me, once I started the Wyo, I wanted this boat, then that,

More dreams and ambition than sense, money, and time.

Funny you should say cellophane, just the other night after more than one
beer, several of us where having a conversation about trailing mono filament
line behind our boats to do just that! You never know, some idiot with a
water lice machine might try jumping your wake and ingest a few feet of the
stuff.
It would need to be long enough and stout enough to do the job but weak
enough to snap off and hide the evidence.
lol

Thanks for your comments! I like the Picnic Boat more than the
others and it actually would be more versatile. My only heartburn
about it is it does not keep the 1920's look. I may just give up the
1920's look and no longer refer to it as a Sneakeasy because the
Picnic Boat meets my needs and wants better than the others.
Overnight capability of the Picnic is appealing! The limo has some
possibilities, the helm is actually a little further forward than it
is now. I sheer of the Sneakeasy is flat until just forward of the
windshield on the actual boat. I'm a little unclear as to lumpy, do
you mean the aft cabin plus the windshield make the sheer look lumpy?

Hi Steve.
Your profiles are very stimulating, but it's a little hard to give
meaningful comment without layout plans. Are we looking at nice
pictures, or pictures that are derived from a functional base?
We don't know if we are comparing apples with pears.
Sorry if this comes out as pedantic, but to my mind it's reality.
How about some layout plans to go with the lovely views?

The limo is an OK idea. My concern there was that the windshield
seemed unchanged, and the actual aft area quite far back. Who is
getting wet now, is it just passengers? That seems a little far back
for them, but you must know. I assume the front would need to be
open, or getting in and out would be difficult, then the water might
work it's way back anyway.
I also think Limo is a little ugly. The flat shear seems flat and
lumpy. I am looking at it seperately from the house, but the shear
should also sweep under it, I think. If this was worked out from a
known example, so everything was right (which it may have been) then
that objection would go away, because I have seen nice versions of
this kind of thing. If it has been grafted on from a known example,
then my thought is that the white/black colour is emphasising
something that wasn't the case with the original.

I can always count on you to give a very professional and well
thought out opinion, entertaining too!! I'm kind of leaning toward
the limo mainly because it accomplishes the spray protection with the
side curtains in place and still retains the 20's look. It would be
a little less involved than the Picnic but retaining the lack of
storage accessibility forward that I deal with now.
As always I appreciate your comments. How long do you have to wait

I can always count on you to give a very professional and well
thought out opinion, entertaining too!! I'm kind of leaning toward
the limo mainly because it accomplishes the spray protection with the
side curtains in place and still retains the 20's look. It would be
a little less involved than the Picnic but retaining the lack of
storage accessibility forward that I deal with now.
As always I appreciate your comments. How long do you have to wait
to get back working on Windemere??

Hi Steve,
Since you asked for cockpit spray protection,I would choose the
picnic boat version since it will also give good sun shade/protection
and appears like a neat spot to set up a couple of lounge chairs
while reviewing the fleet or just checking out the scenery while at
anchor.Robust beverage,close at hand,aptional.
Otherwise,I really like the commuter limo version with that
nifty little den-of-so-many-possibilties set up aft of the
cockpit.Inside,I can easily envision rich burgundy velvet fabric
drapes and sofa(berth)cushions set off with mahogany trim and a wee
Persian rug underfoot.Brass oil lamps would hang from the varnished
deck beams.The two apposing settees could be made to pull out thus
forming one big bed.Final touches would include a sound system
descretely tucked underneath the berth flats along with a couple of
incense holders to purfume the air with your favorite fragrance.A
tiny cave à vin stocked with earthy reds ,a Port or two and some
Sherry would be nice.The piece de resistance,which every die hard
boater should always have on board,and my personal favorite would be
the aromatic box of"invisible rope".Invited guests and dignitaries of
the female gender are always intrigued and later amused by this box
of fun once you explain its many uses............
Good luck with your decision making process Steve!
Sincerely,
Peter Lenihan,wishing it weren't winter along the shores of the
St.Lawrence........

Steve, in my opinion it is impossible to give an opinion. Unless you
have a layout plan of each, any comment is meaningless. The layout
is an integral part of any design, and it must function. It would be
like a client asking me for 5 different house sketches, without
floor plans, and ask which is the best?

I like this one from Bolger #2 files.

The reverse bow and step chine with a dry place to pilot from make
it look very fast and sexy.

What's wrong with looking like an aircraft carrier? Jeeez! Steve
could fly radio control aircraft off it as a mini-carrier proof of
concept vessel.
Did you see the Sneak Hardley at the boatdesign eGroup. Cool.

At first glance I didn't like the motor cowling, but after a fourth and

glance at sedan it could work IF it didn't look tacked on, or an after

I have posted renderings for possible cockpit/cabin modifications to
my Sneakeasy under FILES/CHOICES. My main goal is to get some spray
protection for the cockpit!
It may be an interesting conversation if you folks tell me what you
