New Streamliner

Hello,

This is the third time I've tried to post pics of the new Streamliner that we just finished. Thanks to this site and some links based on what this forum offered, we successfully made a modern version of an old design. She is 22' long and she has a 7'6" beam. We planked over 1/2 ply on the bottom with red cedar and used ash battens and mahogany planks for topsides. The seamsa are inlaid white birch.

Propulsion is 5.7 litre PCM engine with 340hp and a 1:1 PCM transmission.

Let me know what you think. I have plenty of pics of the process and can answer questions. I would like to know if there is anything close to this out there.

Cheers,

JFH
