Bolger Wyoming
Date:   Thu, March 17, 2005
Phil Bolger has designed a series of shallow drafted river/canal/lake boats; most of which are named after states. There's the Tennessee, Idaho, Dakota, Sneakeasy, Illinois, and the largest one built so far, the Wyoming. Phil named it after both the state, and the character from The Moon is a Harsh Mistress. Wye not?

This builder is making a Wyoming in sections, which he will assemble when he gets ready to launch. This boat would be truly impossible to eject out of your 3rd story apartment window... ;)


Dave: Plus, the hull form is incredibly efficient. Doesn't take waves very well (that's the downside), but it's incredibly efficient.
Travis: I like the Wyoming form down-under. It looks very nice. I could cruise the Columbia in that. And with a 6" draft you could get to some neat spots.
