Fritz mentions an error in the plans for frame 6.
It is not to scale. I think foredeck height should be 0,8,2
instead of 0,7,6.
You can cross check by scaling the side view at frame 6 or
subtracting the numbers in that view from 2,5,0.

Hi Steve,

Thanks for the reply.

After further consideration, I decided to stick to the plans for my
first sneakeasy. Perhaps later, I will try some mods.

I noticed while laying out frame #6, that the beam radius of 3-3-1
doen not work. Did you have this problem?

Hi Tom
That picture is of a Slipper boat from England I believe. They are
inboard boats. My 15 hp Merc stuck 12 - 14 inches above the transom,
I don't see why it wouldn't work ok as long as the proportions were
right.

Dear Sneakeasy builders:

Has anyone ever toyed with the idea of building a deck over the
sponsons. I believe it would involve raising the freeboard a bit to a
height that would allow the outboard motor to be covered by a deck.
It's hard to put in words. See the wooden power boats group. In the
photos section under Antiques click on the second photo of Cheetah.
I'm referring to the stern area. It has a beautiful deck over it.
