Neat! What Lakers have you worked on?
With such a shallow draft, gotta put the engine somewhere. If the sound isolation is good, it should not be a problem.
The pilot house reminds me of a riverboat pilot house.
OK, I admit it. I started life as a ragman, before moving to stinkpotters. Who makes that round-sterned sailboat??
Here`s an interesting Queensland boat, a motor/sailer/cruiser in the traditional Qld long range cruiser style,with Gardner diesel:

Northern Trek.
See them regularly out here, nice boat.
Add: Gebus, that galleys a bit of a shock to the eyes in comparison to the rest of the boat![]()

How well do they sail?
I saw this boat today and I can tell you that it is easy to use the helm seat: just turn it 180 degree to the side, walk in front of it, swing it back and sit down.
Our big issue is the queen Pullman berth in the master........ The workmanship of the build is amazing and it is in like new condition. Not a stress crack anywhere on the exterior and the interior joinery is made from 100 year old cypress.
If it was not such an idiosyncratic design it would be 100/150k $ more expensive.
The windows are vinyl with double panes and the all open. It was 87 degrees outside and the interior was about 10 degrees cooler.
AgreedFellas... awful lot of mast and sail for "steadying" only. ...
That well cared for Bertram is a fine example hot-assed yesteryear boat building. Nice boat!
