Does anyone know if this 40' boat has been built? The
number may be wrong--I am reading it off the posting
on the Bolger cartoon site. I'd be interested in any
info, write-ups, etc. Neat looking long, narrow
inboard with a box keel. Thanks. Sam

According to the list, it goes like this:

As long as the other numbers are correct, I assume that indeed it is

According to the database, it could be Design #405, but the last digit
is "illegible".
Thanks,

Harry I was at the Seattle boat show last weekend and
saw a boat about the same size and they put the
pilothouse on the starboard so you could walk around
the port side of the house. I thought it was a good
idea as well.

... although not new to Bolger designs. It can be seen in
the "Russian destroyer" version on Sharpshooter from 30-Odd Boats.
That version was a failure because it was too top-heavy. This new
one should not have the the same problem because of its just-under-
8ft. beam. compared with Sharpshooter's 5'7".
Something similar can be seen in the (not built AFIK) "all-weather
cruiser" version of Quahog, which has 7'6" beam on only 15'11" of
length.

How about the split center counsel. Thats different and superior I think.

Where was it published, Bruce? It's new to me. It would almost have
to be srip-planked or cold-moulded, forward of amidships at least.

I found this study of PCB's design of an Outboard Utility 23' x 7'8"
to be especially interesting, considering the popular (but ill
informed) reputation that PCB designs nothing but unconventional boxy
boats. Here is a PCB take on the fast, overpowered outboard runabout.
90hp to 140 hp, single or dual motors. This boat would be a high
energy 'conventional' outing, yet superior to other market options in
this class.
A few PCB signature elements are still evident, such as subtle
attention to 'spray control', careful attention to static 'at rest'
buoyancy, the use of removable boxes for seats, old style bitts at the
stem head and in the after quarters, etc.. Also interesting, is that
this hull, unlike almost all other Bolger hulls, does not conform to
natural springy curves of plywood, and rather involves quite a bit of
tortured plywood curving.
