The profile shows some distinct similarities: the plumb stem and fantail
stern. However, if you look closely at the sterns, you will see that the
Wellers has much more freeboard in the stern and the shape is different
from what we can see in the Peddells.

IMHO, what you have is two different boats of the same era of similar
style.

Nice to see an old boat that has servived.

The stern is similar to the one depicted in

square, as seen in

In 1991, she was in poor shape, and so the stern was lower. Also note that
the more weight she has in the front, the higher the stern. We had a fair
amount of stuff under the cockpit in 2000, and the fore tank may have been
approaching empty when the photo was taken.
Also, a fair amount of work was done to the hull in 1994.
