Is that a "Boston" dinghy I see Benthic2? I have a 1970 that looks just like her.
I think it's a Bell Boy, built in Bellingham WA.
1/4" steel. 5 mpg. Pretty boat that's economical and built like a tank!

Its actually a Stur-Dee Dory built in Tiverton RI. It was a 2004 Fiberglass Amesbury Dory...Great boat. very light, easy to tow or launch, very very seaworthy, flat bottom so it was easy to beach it....love it. Always got comments where ever I went in it.

An MJM 50z paid us a visit at the waterfront over the weekend. Piloted by Peter Johnstone (son of Robert of J boat and MJM fame.) Nice guy, Impressive boat. 35 Knot cruise! MJM stands for Mary Johnstone's Motorboat (his Mom). High tech composites, triple Volvo IPS drives, GPS position holding and Joystick control. VERY Impressive (and a good tipper!)

know the builder but was not aware of this construction. I'm guessing the interior work was done at a distant location.

Another cool trailerable boat; Dave Gerr's DR Northwest Cruiser, but this one's beachable on its box keel. As designed it carries 300 gallons of diesel with a 46hp engine...you could go a long ways from the boat ramp!

Murray- Now that is a sensible craft! Put a keel on it, as I don't intend to be 'beaching' intentionally on not. I like all the remaining specs, make a good inside waters such as you and I have to play in. Good rain country boat for sure.
Editing my post to include this model by Gerr:

I am a sucker for nostalgic boats cause I have a couple.

A keel on the DR Northwest Cruiser? NO WAY!!!!!!!!!!!
Imagine...sneaking up a creek on a high tide, then letting the tide drop and settle the boat onto a sand bar. You could go exploring for a good 10 hours without worrying about a massive spruce log or Humpback Whale picking up your anchor and dragging your boat away.
Or...there's a storm coming...you could go into a small protected cove with a gradual beach, and if the timings right, you could "anchor" just below the higher high tide line (we have a lower high tide and a higher high tide each day in this area) which would give you a good 24 hours with absolutely zero chance of dragging anchor

These boats are really, really nice! Ocean going and beachable... wow!!
You bet.
One thing I loved as a sea kayaker was being able to haul the kayaks out of the water during storms, which during the winter around here can last 5 days or so and go from 50 knots northerly outflow to 60 knots southwesterly in a day.
These boats would allow you to plunk them down in a protected spot during storms, or you could go on a river or ridge line hike for three days and not worry about the boat at all.
So many new possibilities...

Murray,
Re the DR NW Cruiser on the last page ... post 220
Very very nice hull.
But the fwd end if the cabin is really stupid looking.

That rear tunnel hull design (Sea Bright) is something I've always wanted to see in a 34 LOA 8'6" beam boat. I see Gerr did it. Too bad the design is a bit too complicated for a home builder, building with wood and epoxy.

ben2go,
There's a fairly well known Atkins boat w that hull.

I know there is one but I haven't came across the plans, yet. I'll do more research when I get back in the swing again.
