Re: [bolger] Lapstrake Diablo?

I put a picture of a Shivaree
[copied from MAIB] at:

The limitations of bending plywood
gives Diablo a more blunt bow than
Bolger prefers. I bet he would
point you towards a Shivaree if
you asked him about a lapstrake outboard.
Shivaree has two feet more beam, [which
might be a problem], but she has
very fine lines in her bow and would
be a pretty (and a) dry boat in rough
water.

Very interesting pic. What came to mind, beside the Diablo
similarities, was that I wondered what it would be like with a motor
in a well in the back. Did anyone ever build a Diablo with a motor
well?

Saw this off the higway on the way to Key West yesterday. Caught my
eye, as I thought it had "very" Diablo-like lines. What do ya'll think?
