: Well maybe not a kayak but interesting anyhow

: Hans
TNX Hans, you've come up with another interesting gem! I was fascinated by the flat stern added for outboard motors. It has the rudimentary beginning of a tunnel hull. Wonder how modern was the builder's mind who fashioned it? Imagine S/G around for so long! Of course, skins were sewn earlier, but the wood strakes were an innovation. TNX again, Scotty
