Eric,
Found a last photo reflecting the stern as it is. Yes, when in original length the stern is wider by some inches. It did lose that aspect.
There are three completely rebuilt to original condition in Ketchikan other than ours. Each has the original Briggs and Stratton with "In and Out " clutch. Given an opportunity I will obtain photos and post.
For those who work with wood, one of the unique aspects of Roland Young's boat building process was to spiral ( I think that is the term) a plank thick enough to bandsaw into two planks there by doing both sides of the keel as he planked the boat. Young could construct a single boat in 5 days. He mass produced knees and such prior to building.
There is a complete 13 page booklet on this boat, history, offset lines and such at this address:
"The Poulsbo Boat," 13 pages, is an illustrated account of the history and construction details of a popular open fishing boat in Puget Sound. Roland Young, of Poulsbo, Wash., was the most noted builder of the sporty, stable, caravel planked, square transomed craft. Some 900 boats were built by Young from 1933 to 1965. Lengths varied from 14 to 22 feet and were usually powered by a single cylinder, air cooled engine. The 16 foot boat became the most popular (750 built) and is presented in the lines and offsets supplied with the book on a scale of one foot equaling one 'inch. Both books are for sale from The Center for Wooden Boats, 2770 Westlake Avenue North, Seattle, WA 98109, for $4.50 each. Large scale lines , and offsets are also available. Anybody contemplating building a small boat in the 14 to . 16 foot size or those who just like to look at sweet lined boats would enjoy the books. M.L.
As I recall Young constructed about well over 100 of the 18 foot version along with one 20 foot boat and a 26 foot version. Neither of which have ever been noted in print.
Just think, these little boats would travel singularly or in a small fleet, out to Forester Island which is offshore of Prince of Wales Island in the open ocean, fishing in fog and ocean seas!
Enjoyed exposing these wonderful boats to the forum.
