CANNOT get this design out of my head

this is the front view of the classic, "industry standard" boston whaler 13'...probably the most coveted craft by any young lad who grew up near a body of water..prior to obtaining their driver's license...this hull has barely changed since its creation in 1956....my father growing up in Boston always wanted one, and he passed on that jones to me, but like him, I could never afford one..

As an adult I was able to obtain a similar boat made by a small local boat builder.(which I rarely use, but love just as much as the day I bought it.....in addition to a much smaller 'punt-like' boat (8') that is a complete knock off of this whaler hull)

.... in the past two months not a day goes by that I don't look at those two boats and laugh about making a super thick and super short surfboard shaped exactly like the whaler's hull and no fins... i even reclaimed some old blue flotsam dock foam that's close to eight inches thick, and pretty gnarly...maybe I'll have my chance....

the story behind the whaler's conception and its designers'.. is an excellent one.....very simmonsque (bob simmons)
