Default New theory for mystery barrel

Construction?... how is she built? I ask because if I recall corectly
Bombigher would sometimes specify scantlings that I would consider too
light. For example 3/4" plywood lapstake on a 40'ish footer.

This look like a Shpountz by Bombigher. You are probably right in that
there is a winch in the mock barrel on deck. That would fit the whimsy of
Bomgigher's designs. What is the construction of the boat in question?

Not sure by what you mean by construction, but it is, indeed, a Shpountz
38/40 according to the original poster who asked what the barrel is for.
Several of us have been posing guesses as to the barrel's purpose.
