<p>It's a good look'n boat Peter. And from the pics appears well built. Very cool it's a double ender! Don't see many anymore. My Great Grandfather had a double ender Kiawanda dory and I have always had a soft spot for them. Enjoy!!</p>

<p>Kurt,</p>
<p></p>
<p>This is really good info! Thanks! </p>
<p>I did did some searching today and think that you are right on the money. The glen-L plans are close. Going to see if there are similar plans as well. This is the closest we've come to identifying what she was built from. Gives me a whole new (solid) avenue to peruse.</p>
<p>The frames notched over the gunnels are, I think, the key. Great call!</p>

<p>Does not look like an Oregon drift boat design. Interesting the frames are notched and go over the gunnel. Pretty much all Oregon boats have an inside and outside gunnel. The inside gunnel is run over the frame to create a handrail which is absent in this boat. Also typical Oregon builders install 9 frames in a 16' boat. It has a lot of rocker like a Don Hill, but no flat spot in the bottom. My guess is a glen-L plan or something similar. And yes, the more you flare the hull in the middle,…</p>

<p>Well, it's not a Don Hill boat. Emailed the folks that now sell his plans. Very nice guy. Said the bow angle is similar to Don's but not the rocker.</p>
<p>I may be down a rabbit hole with no final answer. It's interesting to me the Robert Fletcher's plans are similar, but his book wasn't published until 2007. Mine was built in the 80s. I wonder if he sold plans prior to that?</p>

<p>Looks like I may never answer this question, but it's been a fun quest. It's a really well built boat that will once again enjoy it's original purpose! And I'm having fun in the process.</p> Hey Mitchell,

<p>Hey Mitchell,</p>
<p></p>
<p>Six sets. Bow, integrated into the fly deck. 4 integrated into both passengers seat and rowers seat. The stern integrated into the rear hatch. See pics 2&3 for clarification.</p>
<p></p>
<p>One other note, the bow is built on a 60 degree angle.</p>
<p></p>
<p>Thanks!</p>

<p>Hey Bennett, Interesting stuff! I appreciate it!</p>
<p></p>
<p>its's a frame boat. The more I look, I'm wondering if it's a Don Hill boat with modifications. It's a puzzle for sure!</p>
