So after you create the text how do you turn it into a medium for application on your boats. Decal? Callie? Krikut?
FYI, I use Callie.

Nice looking boat Ronald. A varnished wood deck is not out of place on a LB hull yacht. I believe some were constructed that way. As you say, you don’t want to hide the craftsmanship.

LB’s in Canada are a bit different than ours although you folks also have some of the NE style hulls just as we have some of yours. Your Cape Islanders have a very distinctive & pleasing look. I have a Cape hull that I am thinking about starting. Mine would be a Down Maine version which I think (emphasis on think) have a lower deck house.
A side note. The photos I posted are typical of an in-shore boat which were displacement hulls. Today’s boats are planing hulls since the fishery has moved farther offshore. Therefore more speed required to cover the increased distance.
Again, if you have built a LB please post some photos.

Thank you Ronald. If you look a bit closer you will see that the foredeck is not a wood finish. In fact it is tan which was a very common deck color used in New England

Another thought. Search the web for Ft Myers shrimp boat photos. Some of those hulls have a sheer line & bow rake similar to your “tug” though I haven’t seen any with a rounded stern. That would be a show stopper. Haven’t searched for shrimp boats in other locations, Louisiana for example, but I would think they are also square stern hulls given how they fish.
Oh well; maybe you could adopt some of the rig.

Like LewZ, I suggest a conversion to a fishing vessel. The MARY ANN in roycv’s blog is another possibility. Changing the profile of the bulwarks to that of a tug won’t work IMHO. A bulwark change would be so extensive that the freeboard forward would become a problem. Then there is the bow profile. Just not that of a tug. I think you could have a fine looking vessel if you pursue the fish boat approach.
I’ve also seen comments regarding leaks around the aft hatch.
Just my thoughts.

I recall boats of this era using sounding sticks to determine fuel levels. However your approach is MUCH more interesting. Excellent craftsmanship.
