your thoughts on 3 dinghy designs?

[rodjr]

ok, so i have 3 sets of plans here and eventually ill build them all. im already working on 1. all are basically 3:1 designs, but my question is....... which is likely to have the best rowing manners?
which is likely to have the best sailing manners?
which is likely to run well with a 2hp outboard?

dudley dix, dixie dinghy
selway fisher, redshank
hartley, huskey 7'3" (not really 3:1 as no sail plan, but im sure it could be done)

i realize "manners" is subject to interpetation but generally speaking, if each could only have 1 means of propulsion how would you set em up?

Pics? Specs?

The Redshank is the only one I would even contemplate for myself. Those other hard chined boats will neither row nor sail nor tow as well as that more sophisticated and rounded hull shape. But I think you'd be even better off with a round-bilged pram design if you have to stick with a boat that short. SF's very similar Greenshank Pram is almost certainly a better and more useful boat in every way for such a tiny boat.

None of the above. Build the Townson dinghy;
