: I've been keeping a log of deck patterns used on the classic speedboats of
: the prewar and postwar period (Gar Woods, Hackercraft, Chris Craft, et
: al), as my daughter and I are building a CLC Wood Duck hybrid this summer.
: The lines of that boat, it seems to me, lend themselves to adapting
: speedboat patterns, which, although planked, are essentially the same
: thing as stripping.

I took my inspiration for my deck from Chris Craft. I used to watch them race each other at Coldwater Lake, Michigan in the late 30's through 50's while on vacation. My cousins husband restored a 1937 Chris Craft in the 70's that was a pure joy to ride in.
