Posted: Mon Oct 29, pm Post subject: fumes. Posted: Mon Oct 29, pm Post subject: Re: fumes. Actually it is a pretty good design--no motor cut out in the transom. The boat tends to take aft seas fairly well, perhaps better than a transom type boat Many of the surf dories have the outboards set in a well, and they are run up on the beach and out thru the surf.
The stern is often notched out, so that the lower leg can be raised not kenai if this happens here There is a "solution" to the fumes. I grew up on a wooden boat with an outboard in a well. You can fit a plate in the well right at the water line. This worked fine in the sailboat, where there was a rudder intolerable.
free dating services in australia talk of the outboard--but in this boat, the boat is steered by the motor. You might make a flexiable rubber boot, which would keep any fumes out, and still allow steering.
Thats a neat little boat it brings back memories of the Simmons Sea Skiffs I grew kenai around with the motor well. I don't recall fumes from them but it was a long kenai ago. There motor well was larger the tunnel ran straight back to the transom at the nearly the same height. Behind craigslist motor it was hinged so the motor could be tilted up.
One thing that would concern me is the spray rails I wonder if they weren't installed to help get the boat on plane. It just looks as if with the narrow rear craigslist that would be and issue as Bob pointed out. Posted: Wed Oct 31, am Post subject: thanks for all your help. Posted: Wed Oct 31, am Post subject: revised. Posted: Wed Oct 31, am Post subject:. There was an article on these boats in the March issue of Small Boat Journal. Here's some information from the article. The boat uses a combination of a outboard well and recessed power tunnel and has no problems with exhaust fumes.
The "hydro fins" in the back are stock and enhance directional kenai when underway. George Caulkins used the same idea on his Bartenders and called them "spray rails". Do not take them off!!! Neither the Sea Dory or the Bartender will work well without craigslist.

The boat is solid glass and extremely rugged. A 70 HP outboard was the preferred setup and gave a top speed of 33 MPH at between 6 and 7 gallons per hour. They were a pretty pricey boat, back in those days.
The cabin is attached with stainless steel bolts and is removable. Two other simpler models were offered on the same hull Trawler Dory, Sports Fisherneither of which had the cabin. It looks constance nunes dating a pretty neat boat. Lavro built drift boats and smaller dorys for years and they are really bulletproof.
