Re: [bolger] Re: help ID a boat design

Did I not read that one of the builders noted that basic Sows Ear to be quite affected by the wind?  Perhaps that led to the box keel, or maybe the cabin sole steps down into the keel for headroom?

I wonder what led the builder to do a box keel on that hull. It sounds like its mainly being used as a canal cruiser, and the original flat bottom would be OK for that.

Nice catch Mark. I was ready to say it was more Michalak than Bolger, and definitely NOT Hawkeye. Gracious of Jim Michalak to post a pic of a heavily modified build. Most designers would not.

I uploaded a photo named "mystery boat" into the River Rat photo folder and would like help to identify the design. I'm not sure where I got it, but it's been in my "inspiration" file for a while.

That might be Jim Michalak's design Sow's Ear - with added upper works.
