It would be interesting to see a list of the boats Spencer Lincoln designed over the years.

Talk about an art and science that is so hard in a sense to understand. Its like most people just look at a boat and go wow that is pretty. Very few people look at it for what it is actually doing and then to be in a position to tweak it. I've been staring at pictures of boats going through the water and what a neat science there is to it, an art to some. Loved reading the article. So many things to play with...

I think he also had something to do with the 32 Holland. He also worked with the Young Brothers on some of there's I think. I remember when I first started going sternman that 30kts was sceamin fast for a work boat. Now I cant count on two hand and feet how many boats do 30-35kts.

West Bay 31 is a Jim Beal (we had the mold for a while)

West Bay 37 is a shortened Northern Bay 38 with a chine tossed on

The West Bay 31 was based on a Spencer design, refined by Richard Alley.

There it is, more to the story than meets the eye in Maine Boat building. Screw or get screwed in Maine.

Lots of secrets behind closed doors around a bottle or two
