Ops. Too much dreaming.

Very neat design. Allow me to dream:
- Lengthen it by about 2 feet
so that the seats don't need to cover the sink and stove.
Gives a bit more storage below the seats.
- Construct the table in such a way that it can be lowered
to make an optional double bed with one berth.
Make the other berth foldable (up or down) as walk-through
for that configuration. Looses a bit storage, but we just
got more under the front seats.
- Extend the stern very slightly, so that a 15 HP OB
(max. legally allowed here) can be enclosed.
- Total Length: probably around 25' for a hullspeed of
around 9 knots.
(I know: 3 times 8 is only 24 minus curvature.
But a butt at the anchor well bulkhead shouldn't be
that difficult).
- Build the cockpit aft in such a way that it can serve
(e.g. with a tent) as an occasional guest cabin.
- Do some model testing to see how the wake (and thus drag)
changes, when the cutwater forefoot extends down to WL.
(would make it slightly less SeaOfPeas).
- Maybe give it some slightly flaired cross-section like Delaware
(for looks, a bit more space, and maybe a bit more form stability
-> can be built lighter -> less draft, less wake, less power).
This would make it the smallest low-power "luxury" river/coastal
displacement motor cruiser cum party boat that I know of. With
"luxury" I mean "full standing height (even in rain) state room with
real head (toilet with shower)". In short: something that no SWMBO can
resist.
Mouth watering.

That is a Champlain. How many built? Han Van Pelt built one. Also,
there was one, slightly modified (without the tankage), for sale in
Florida a couple years ago.

Sorry for my ignorance: Who is it - What's the name of this beauty?
