I'm not experienced enough to make a good suggestion, but I'd love to see some pictures of this boat! How 'bout it? (if you get a chance)

Mark

: A customer recently brought an old gunning boat to me for repair.

: It was strip built perhaps 1930 vintage, needless to say no epoxy was used
: just nails. It has steam bent oak ribs and cedar strip planking.

: I plan to measure the boat to produce plans for the home builders. It is from
: the Merrymeeting Bay area of Maine, built for two hunters, powered by oars
: during transit and single scull out the transom for hunting. a rare and
: unusual boat.
