Ferrus Manus Posted April 24 Author Share #32 Posted April 24 (edited) Thank you for the recommendation. I will have to look into it. While this is a pilot cutter, other similar boats like the Lizzie Annie are equally valuable resources. The shallow hull sets the Devin Collins apart from other pilot cutters, and from what I've seen, all pilot cutters are unique.

Isaiah Posted April 24 Share #33 Posted April 24 (edited) I’m just confused because the plan before your drawing has a straight bow, but then you said you’re redesigning to make a straight bow?

The plan shown was not my own. It was a representation of what I wanted my bow to look like. I redesigned my own bow to reflect the online image. That picture is likely a photocopy, my designs are all drawn on paper with pencil. Go back and look at the original side profile of the boat. I hope that answers your question.

Ferrus Manus Posted April 25 Author Share #36 Posted April 25 This is the newly designed false keel, based on the revised drawings of the profile view of the cutter. Keith Black, mtaylor, Isaiah and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
