New project

[Rossja]

My wife brought home my project boat the other day. Paid $200 bucks for it. I have no idea what make/model it is and I haven't gone through it yet. Previous owner tried to patch some fiberglass on the bow and install a drain plug (no just an unfinished hole in the stern). I will update when progress is made...

It looks planked, with curved ribs. The Widgeon has a flat "V" plywood bottom. It appears to me to be the original 1942 MeGargee Scaup design, or very similar as suggested by Bob.

I haven't even lifted the hatch yet. The picture with the wrench is in the photos I was sent. The one in the sun is my yard the day it came home. I still have to refurb my South Bay because someone hm hm isn't doing it anymore...
