Ok i recently got a devlin bluebill that is rotten talking to the guys about glassing the outside and creating a copy of the boat they showed me a mold they already have for a sneak box. The first picture is of the bottom half of the hull that was glassed out of the mold that came when the guys bought the molds. The guys have never built this sneak box and i measured it and its about a 12 foot box. For some reason the top section has three holes cut into it I'm guessing the front is a dog hatch but i can't think why the rear one is there.

That looks like a nice modern designed sneak box. That wide, flat keel and flat bottom panels should help it planing off. The skeg would help her track straight while rowing. I would think that the extra hatches would facilitate storage of gear and might allow shifting of the fuel tank to help trim to boat better.
 
Wonder if that's a version of a Zack Box (one of the boats in Zack Taylor's book Successful Waterfowling)
