Agreed. Redwing and Thorobred by Frost fit the bill, but they were runabouts, not necessarily working lobster boats.
Agreed. I only saw the boat from the waterline up. A lot of the Chesapeake boats I have seen have a straight steam and this one had a little...
I think it might be Plate 42. 35' Utility Launch. That shows a beam of 6' 9-3/4" I think. Hard to read the table of offsets.

What are you confirming?

Why are the tabs installed?

Agreed. Haven't trained myself to change the term yet
"No feedback" but if you take your hand off the wheel it doesn't stay straight long. If it worked, why do all the outboards have the tabs...
The tab on the cavitation plate is intended to correct feedback at the helm. Not the exact same thing as prop walk. If a boat has a right-hand...
