Thanks for posting that…I was also looking online for a decent pic..I have a copy of Howard Chapelle’s book on boat building somewhere but can’t locate it right now..I will get around to fitting it eventually..the problem is that almost anyone can figure out how to cut the pieces if they have a little bit of woodworking knowledge …but fitting it properly and having all the side planks fit into it perfectly and still manage to keep the water out of the boat is a skill that boatbuilders spend decades perfecting and few people today even have the skill anymore.
