At the risk of lengthening your list of possibilities, have you looked at
the "Inlet Runner Concept" in MAIB Vol. 14 No.10 - Oct. 1, 1996?

I remember reading, in the description of one of Bolger's motor cruisers,
about a helm with a hatch above and moveable controls so that one could
drive the boat from an elevated position. This does not seem too
complicated, and would offer options for different kinds of weather.

I like the clam skiff with cabin too. It is on my short list of boats
to build. I built one without cabin for my daughter. She uses it in
Alaska to net salmon and the boat works out very well for her. I'd
use the cabin version for week-end excursions in North Channel of Lake
Huron. I am wondering how much it might weigh. Boat without cabin
weighed 600 lbs.
Has anyone out there in Bolger land built that boat??

Sort of on the theme of the Watervan (which I presume derives from
Bolger's Fiddler II, design 391 as described in 30-Odd Boats), I got
interested in mostly enclosed boats when I first saw the sketches of
Birdwatcher. I really liked Karl James' adaptation of Tracy O'Brien's
Headwater 18 (think is was in WoodenBoat and he was kind enough to
send me several photos of the boat) and toyed with adaptations of Tim
Michalak's Birdwatcher style boats, especially Scram Pram.
I've never been in a Birdwatcher or its descendents but for the past
couple of summers my wife and I have rented houseboats for our
vacations. While wonderful for lazing around, I really hated running
the things from the inside helm. Lots of visability but I just
couldn't get adjusted to not being in the open air and having a full
view all around and up.
As a result, for my next project(s) I've moved back to considering
mostly open boats either with a small permanent cabin or an easy to
set up fabric tent that can be stowed except when camping.
