Apart from the transom bow the Mirror is a lot more

Being a younger guy of the current technologic generation, I am finding that I really appreciate being able to get away and "un-plug". This concept of a shanty boat makes a lot of sense in the PNW and...

My Dad is casting about for a design to replace his heavy V-bottomed power cruiser. What he needs, I think, is a flat-bottomed river boat, about 26' long, powered by a small outboard.
