The small one (15'6") is design number 549. I think a cartoon was in MAIB
some years ago.

I am drawing a blank trying to recall where

[bolger] Long narrow powerboat
Hi Don,
So far, I find the Bolger "Lake Launch" to be 40 feet long. Am I missing something? Any pictures of drawings of a shorter one somewhere?
Thanks,
Ron

Bolger did a design called "Lake Launch" that is what you're seeking, a
shorter Sneakeasy. It would work well with a small OB or electric
power. It is a 'picnic' boat as conceived.

There is also a MAIB concept boat that looks like a smaller Idaho. Wish
I could remember the name. Idaho is the lightest (so far) of the State
series, but is still a 30' boat. One could consider Lake Launch,
Sneakeasy, Idaho, and Wyoming plus the MAIB concept of which I can't
remember the name a "family" of designs.
Others may remember the name and have some links. Hope so, 'cause it is
nearly exactly what you say you wish to build. IMO Champlagne (sp) and
Tennesee are to much boat to start with to scale down.
You can go anywhere in about anything IF you can pick the weather.
That's a BIG IF, especially at 7kt. The question is will you survive
getting caught in the weather you didn't want?

I don't have anything to add about plywood, but I'd be very
interested to know more about your boat plans. I've been twisting
and squeezing state boat pics for the last few weeks trying to come
up with a way to make a 20 foot with the same nice lines and economy
as Mr B's power sharpies. I'm envious of all the micro sail
cruisers out there like Paradox and Micro Nav; wish something
similar could be done with a power boat. Could a squished 20 foot,
7kph, 8hp Tennessee be sturdy enough to do the Great Loop? Or the
Bahamas?
