Cool name for a cool boat from a cool band! looking great!

That first one in a fine downeaster. Perhaps San Juan or Palm Beach. Trunk lines are completely different from Hinckley. Either way a very fine vessel.

Welcome, Although I havent even started a build yet, I got some good pointers from the guys here, and from you tube. There is a sailboat build called "frosty Morn" that has three good videos and bright sides. The builder really show how to layout the sides in the 2nd video. Wish I could be more help...

Saw this a couple of weeks ago, listed for $175. thought about going down to get it, now I see the price has gone up. Would be a good project for someone even at that price, Just would cost me double to go get it from here.

Thanks for the post Jim! Way cool!

Looks like lotsa fun! Congrats!

Notice how flat the water is, It has been dead calm all summer, I took my 22' plastic fantastic runabout on a 600 mile round trip on Lake Michigan this month. Couldn't have asked for better weather. But just wondering where this came from? Interesting!

This was by Holland Michigan on Lake Michigan today

Looks like fun times Jim

Thanks for your reply Thudpucker, my whole intent here with the jet was to emulate the Hinckley picnic boat, but upon my research, the Hinckley is a whole beast upon itself, therefore I cannot cheat another design close enough to it. So back to the dream boat and try to find something that I will li...

Thanks Kevin, Upon my research, the Hinckley is a hard chine v hull, not even classified as a downeast/lobster boat. Thanks again for your knowledge, I'm glad that these forums are able to afford such. - Scott T

Thanks Kevin, I do appreciate the input, was just trying to see if this hull could be modified or not, still like the lines, from my reading, jets are more costly, but I was trying to cheat, and would have a bow thruster installed as well. I do believe the Hinckley is more of a monohedron hull. I wi...

Really interested in Potluck design, was just wondering if this design could be fitted with a hamilton jet pump, I don't know if the keel can be removed/reduced, and also if the motor could be moved aft. Inspired by Hinckley picnic boat design. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks - Scott T

Nice build! Congrats!

Congrats! I see alot of fun being had here and in the future. Cool build, Good Job!
