If anyone is interested you can find a number of sharpies, flatties
and scows in

Simplified Boatbuilding, Vol 1
The Flat-Bottom Boat

by Harry V Sucher (out of print though, try interlibrary loan)
I found an excellent photo of a 1920's power sharpie that looks like the
sneakeasy. I'll load it up on to the Tennessee under Bolger/files which I
have access to.

This could easily show proof of concept for the 1920's boats. Long, narrow,
and low powered. Prior to boast truly able to get up on a plane so the
flat bottom was the most efficient.

I'll remove it later.

Is this a Bolger design, or "in the spirit of..."?
