11' x 50" about 12" deep. Cockpit 43 1/2 x 25

No it doesn't have any plates that I have seen. No info was relayed, it was found on an estate in a building. It has a few things that looked added. A tabbed in plywood floor. And wood anchor blocks under where the decoy boards would mount under deck. They look like csm. It's 11' on the dot and...

I have ran behind on the restore of the Simonson box. So I snagged this to get out and hunt some. It has 3 flotation compartments. No decoy racks or it would look like a Higbee. Just wondering if anyone has seen anything like it. Bottom of the boat looks like a Higbee hull. No coring in the hull...

I hope so. It certainly looks to be a pretty seaworthy hull. Deeper then most and a bit wider. I am happy I posted it because that trunk would have been gone. But a few guys persuade me to keep it. The trunk is now cedar planks with a small lap joint and some 4200 to seal it up. I reused what...

Thanks Steve. I really do like the lines he made a very nice boat. Still not sure if I am gonna plywood the deck might do cedar planks. Good eye on the decoys. I do not know if they are original paint but they are point pleasant wildfowlers.

Update... Cedar plank trunk rebuilt, transoms fitted and bottom planking getting fitted

I got the front deck off and removed the rotten wood. Made some new harpins and started mocking up the king plank I believe and the nose boards. Some more planning and I'll install them with some epoxy and 4200. Then onto the trunk repairs.

So I got to remove the starboard side front deck ply. Some brass screws and a bunch of mismatched galvanized nails. The board I think it's a harpen board is shot and the trunk ply is all rotten as well as the top mast support. As of right now I plan on the harpin boards, 3 planks, misc shelf's...

I would have updated sooner I had a busy weekend. I was informed the boat is a Bill Simonson. I have spoken with his daughter in-law and son. They have offered pictures and templates for anything the boat needs as well as coming to see a few in the shop. I will check you build out. I was...

Bills son was nice enough to offer any templates and patterns I need to put it back as it was. I don't plan on removing the trunk or any of the mast supports. I am going to redeck the boat, replace 3 planks, and fix any mous chewed gussets and shelving. Glass it all back up. I will be putting a...

No. I have the rudder and dagger board. No sailing rig. I did think about leaving it set up to sail to teach my daughter but I am more concerned with hunting it this year with her on nice day in the river.

The ribs are split and then sistered with a 12" or so at the split

Bronze nails yes. Regular screws added inside. They look later.

Just picked this gem up for free. Most of the glass is peeled off. Needs a little wood and some glass. Any idea on who built it?

This is my dd Adonis vom Goldentriangle aka Dobby Most of these pictures where under 1 1/2. I don't take many photos because I was trying to get him all set and didn't want him to slip up. This year should be good.

He is a good looking dog.If he has good bumper or retrieve drive and is displaying good confidence/independence. I would get a buddy about 100 yards away to fire of some shots while playing catch. If the dog doesn't have any bad body language move closer. Then hunt the little guy on slow hunts...

Thank you. I believe Jay kuhn made the boat one of his first ones because it doesn't have keel straps. When I talked to him if I remember right it's a devlin broadbill with a pointed bow for easier fabrication and a few other tweaks.

Ya its rough getting low but I can't be to squeeze so I opened it up some. Thank you btw

Thank you I think she will break ice if need be. Double layer on bottom
