Wow, that double-ender is really spiffy. That would be a neat boat.
It looks like it has a hold. She would make a great rum-smuggler.

From the shores of Passamaquoddy Bay, the body of water separating eastern Maine from western New Brunswick, Canada, boatyards launched hundreds of small craft for the sardine industry. Regina M., built c. 1900, illustrates one of several different types of "sardine carriers" used in the Passamaquoddy and Fundy Bays to collect herring from fish weirs and transport them to canneries on shore.
When built, the owners rigged Regina M. as a sloop. However, as the internal combustion engine grew in popularity, many sardine carriers installed the additional power to combat the fierce tides found in Passamaquoddy Bay. By 1909, Regina M.'s equipment included a seven horse power, "Fairbanks Motor Co." engine that drove her at seven miles per hour.
In 1940, the Museum added Regina M. to its collection of watercraft. However, before her arrival in Mystic, confusion regarding her true identity resulted in the conversion of her rig and hull shape to resemble a "pinky". Mystic Seaport's recent restoration, 1992-1994, reestablished Regina M.'s outward appearance to the way she looked between 1909-1924.

That boat in the third picture - The owner says that it's been out of the water for a few years, but it's been shored up properly and the engine has low hours on it. It looks like a few planks and maybe some frames need to be replaced and the house should be fixed up of course. Do you think a guy with decent woodworking skills but not actual boat building experience could restore it? Is it worth restoring?

(just kidding......)
