I came across this scow a couple of hours ago;

http://www.angib.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/scow/scow0.htm

LOA 12' , beam 4', draft 5" leeboard up, 2' leeboard down and weighing in at
around 150lbs. Its built out of 3 sheets of 1/4" and 2 sheets of 3/8".
With that sort of weight, im probably going to need a trailer or a gym
membership.

looks like maybe 3-4 days build, and it comes with CAD drawings! The price
suits my budget perfectly (free). Ill probably replace the ballanced lug
with a junk sail. One nice thing about it is that it can be used as a
rowing boat as well, so if im out on the lake and the winds die down....

The other nice thing is that having a leeboard gives me a bit more room in
the cockpit :-)

Any thoughts on this one? Pros or cons?

Thanks,
Shaun
