Re: Sharpie / trolling motor
sorry didn't address my experience with it...with the 2 hp, no
vices, no weirdnesses. With the june bug in general, a nice
sailor, but keep everyones butts planted on the floor...good initial
stability, but didn't take much to roll it, once past that point.
never rowed it, so can't speak to that.

i had a junebug that i ran a 21 lb Yamaha 2 hp outboard on. moved
it along at about 5 mph, anything more than that and the bow would
start to climb upward ( i ran a 7.5 hp mercury on it just for grins
once, and saw that happen).

Bolger's slab-sided sharpies are well known. The Peero, at 12', is about
the smallest and they go up to the AS39 and beyond.
A boat with lots of flare, like a dory, is good for load carrying because
as you add each pound it gets harder and harder to increase the draft. But
it is a very tender sailing hull without ballast. (This is not to say that
there haven't been dory racing classes, but that's the case).
The slab-sided boats are very stiff even without ballast and given
sufficient freeboard are virtually unswampable. You can swamp a Peero
because it's so small. But try that with an AS29.

A boat with lots of flare, like a dory, is good for load carrying because
as you add each pound it gets harder and harder to increase the draft. But
it is a very tender sailing hull without ballast. (This is not to say that
there haven't been dory racing classes, but that's the case).
The slab-sided boats are very stiff even without ballast and given
sufficient freeboard are virtually unswampable. You can swamp a Peero
