Thanks for the link. I've seen a number of his designs.

Nice boat if the rolled the steel for the hull, I hate the looks of a
square chine.


Depends. A nicely shaped chine can define a hull, and be very handsome.
The Lightning, for example, is as pretty a boat as any. But on a
bluff-bowed boat like one of these, the chine is only going to make it
look boxier.


There are 2 Roberts Spray hulls in the marina around the corner from my
place. Chine hulls and they're ugly to my eyes. I like chine hulls, but
not those hulls at all.
