   Nice looking boat Ronald. A varnished wood deck is not out of place on a LB hull yacht. I believe some were constructed that way. As you say, you don’t want to hide the craftsmanship.

   LB’s in Canada are a bit different than ours although you folks also have some of the NE style hulls just as we have some of yours. Your Cape Islanders have a very distinctive & pleasing look. I have a Cape hull that I am thinking about starting. Mine would be a Down Maine version which I think (emphasis on think) have a lower deck house.
   A side note. The photos I posted are typical of an in-shore boat which were displacement hulls. Today’s boats are planing hulls since the fishery has moved farther offshore. Therefore more speed required to cover the increased distance.
   Again, if you have built a LB please post some photos.

   Thank you Ronald. If you look a bit closer you will see that the foredeck is not a wood finish. In fact it is tan which was a very common deck color used in New England

   You have made some good additions. These are good work boats and plentiful on the east coast coming in various styles and colours.
   
   My friend built the Midwest Maine Lobster Yacht which I bought from him. He used Cherry planking to make the deck. I know the natural wood like this is not normal, and because of his workmanship I didn’t want to paint over it.
   
   I added the figures, deck chairs, roof over the helm.
