RE: Willard 40 ft Navy launch

"I have said this before, these boats won't have any wide spread appeal to most boaters because they look military. "

There not the bloat boat style so many folks desire , yet too nice to shred.

We looked for years for a reasonable 50 that had not been stripped or destroyed .

The plan was to carve the open boat enough to install a 33ft airstream (actual cabin loa 28 the towing tongue would be cut off) .

This would hive a great looper that would require the least amount of work , besides building a pilot house behind the airstream , and carving an all weather door to the pilot house.

Air draft again about 12 ft , but perhaps lower with some good carving.This would be even lightre than the lobster conversion.
