Yes, it's one of his designs and close to what you saw in this newsletter.
He did send me some sketches and let's say that the Bolger Brick looks like
a very elegant design compared to the Hermit Crab.
Jim is currently cruising the Mississipi in that 10' . . . thing . . .
He planned to return in November but in the meantime, there is absolutely no
way to contact him.
He also intended to sell the plans.
His email is in that newsletter : pointpub at AOL.

om...
I heard mention that Jim Betts is or was cruising the Mississippi in a
10 ft. boat known as the Hermit Crab. Is this one of his designs?
Would this be the same boat that Jim mentioned in a flyer which
originated as a service boat on the Amazon River?
I really like that boat if it's the one I'm thinking of. Is there any
information available on it anywhere?
Thanks,
Mike
