Strip: Deck patterns from classic wooden speedboats *Pic*

I've been keeping a log of deck patterns used on the classic speedboats of the prewar and postwar period (Gar Woods, Hackercraft, Chris Craft, et al), as my daughter and I are building a CLC Wood Duck hybrid this summer. The lines of that boat, it seems to me, lend themselves to adapting speedboat patterns, which, although planked, are essentially the same thing as stripping. Last weekend, I attended the Lake Tahoe Concours of fabulous speedboats, with a snazzy new lens in tow. I shot a bunch of the boats and thought I'd share, since I believe many of us (all of us?) keep a swipe file of design ideas we can use in furthering our addiction...uh, hobby.

Anyway, I hope these shouldn't be posted under Off Topic, and that you enjoy.
