Re: Bee and Super B
Given the success of the cabined versions of these boats, IMO Bolger
would have a nice "line" of plans if he offered a Super Bee, at 10',
an open boat version of the MT at 15', and a big open/bass boat/cuddy
cabin 22' version of Retriever. Light, fast, stable. Good boats.

Not sure if this has already been covered...
From a post several years ago:
"I received a similar note and he also mentioned that 5hp would make
it exhilerating, which brings to mind the picture in the files
section. Thanks,
Clyde" (Wisner)
In the files folder mentioned, there are also two tiny old photos of
Super Bee and the name of the builder. It looks really roomy! Six
horse Briggs and Stratton 4-stroke?

I think this would be an excellent model to practice tack and tape
using biaxial, glassing with film and also maybe using MDO:-)
