Is there a single place to view all these designs and their specs? It would
really be convenient.

The only thing that stands between most of us and an Illinois is 450

in a long Ford Ranger pickup bed. It would be hard to get past a bed
or table without stowing it. In the Tennessee I've seen pictures of
a group down both sides of a table enjoying a picnic and
conversation. On the Idaho, one side of the table would have to be
against the wall. Even two chairs side by side facing forward would
almost block access to the rear.
I guess in a day boat with camp furniture all this would not matter
and the narrow boat would trailer great.

> With the Tennessee and Idaho so similar in size,The big advantage is that the Tennessee will perform with a 10-15 Hp motor. It glides along with hardly any wake at any speed up to about 15 or 16 mph. If you put a bigger motor on her, she would just squat and not really go much faster even though you are burning a lot more gas. A planing boat like Idaho has a higher top speed, but needs a bigger motor to do it, and does not do nearly as well below about 10 or 12 mph. It will wallow and produce a big wake at slow speeds. With motor boats, it's fish or fowl, but there is not much compromise.

With the Tennessee and Idaho so similar in size, why so many more
Tennessees bing built? Is the rockered bottom a big advantage?

Wyoming is 51'6" X 8'3". The aft cabin version draws 7 inches while the
original design is at 6 inches draft. Displacement is up to 10,000 lbs. on
the origianl, 11,500 on the aft cabin. The aft cabin is the design Mr.
Bolger created for the Wyoming in full crusing trim.
