Above is the origional 20 foot river cruiser I designed. We actyally
have a couple pieces in the barn from the very start of the construction.

Above is the same boat with the planned core foam and kevlar/fibreglass,
slide on removable hard top I had planned which was to add 60 pounds to
the boat. Planned, it would sleep two comfortably, have a porta' potty
and a sink.


This would be the boat with the canvas top added to the drawing... The
real beauty of this boat is the months I spent lofting it, with input
from several world known SNAME Engineers especially in the after
sections of the floor and sides/transom to make it efficient with a
smaller engine. It will be a wonderful river boat (most agree it
"should"), and should be just fine with a 35-50 horse engine.



Damn, I should also note that this is a 6 plank boat, you can not see
the bottom panel depicted in any of the drawings I have put up so far.
