done many boats that have not been widely discussed in the press. The
closest to your spec that I know of is probably the AntiSpray, which
may be too big and expensivie. Don't actually know.

Did PBolger do a metal version of his AS39? We are looking for plans
for our "final" boat (we live on a Pearson 33 right now with 4.5'
draft).
His 45' Weston Martyr shows it can be done but at 6'9" beam it's too
skinny. Does anyone know if he ever did a robust flat bottomed
sharpie (besides the Lions Paw 38 which doesn't have enough room for
us while AS39 does). Perhaps the Weston Martyr can be merely widened
to 8' beam with little bother.
We really want to go back to a shoal draft, bulletproof sharpie and
it seems no one does those like PBolger. We built a PB instant boat
style 37 foot plywood sampan a few years ago and really miss the
super things one can do with ultra shoal draft.
As mentioned previously Thomas Colvin has a series of fishing junks
that are "shoreys" by nature (with the usual wide chinese sterns)
but PB has refined the shape to what we really want: outboard on the
transom, counterweighted masts, chine maximized for turbulence
reduction, raised flush decks, self righting, etc..
Any leads would be appreciated if anyone knows of such craft beyond
the boards of PBolger or of PB stuff I've not heard of in his
expansive catalog.
