The boat is a small herring punt (about 7'x23')
I live in a float house so when i needed a shop i had to make one that floats.
here are a couple of pix of it being built.

DLC, welcome to the AAB.com Forum, interesting scow design.
Does the herring gear come over that raised pram bow? I don't see side rollers (but they may be off for the season?) but not sure on the 'why' of the raised bow and what might be a bulkhead or locker/deck there?

Cheers,

The boat hasen't fished for 20 years but the net would come over one side with a power roler and the other side had a beater bar to shake the net,on the raised deck was a 8 hp honda with a hydrolic pump on it to run the gear.
I think it was a 6 ton boat.

sort of like this
