Re: "Step" Sneakeasy
There are also pics of a Sneakeasy in Alaska w' a PCB sketched
forward cockpit. That is a flatbottom version. Combining the pit w'
the step version may not be wise given they step reduces flotation
fwd.
IMO, a widening to 5 ft would be a different boat with far different
characteristics that the original.

Thanks Gregg,
All I intended was to keep the plumb sides, but increase beam to 5'0".
I wasn't sure how long ago the piece in BWOM had been written and if PCB
had drawn up plans in the mean time. What's the max. on passengers? 2?4?

I ordered the "square" plans from Payson, and completed the "step" versions
using the book. I believe the book says there are (were?) no expansions
available for the step type.
There seems to be plenty of room in my boat, 3 a breast gets cozy, but not
oo bad. Hard to know what you mean by "hurt", but you are suggesting
increasing the boat size by 25%, plus wetted area. Or, if you mean to
flare the sides, then you have changed the boat in more ways than one...

Is the "step" version of Sneakeasy a separate set of plans? I
received the study plan from HHP, but makes no mention of the "step"
variation. If you want to build one, do you just use the information in
BWOM or contact PCB? Also would it hurt the design if the upper portion
were widened to 5'0" in order to gain a little more elbow room for the
occupants?
