Chris Hale of the U.S built a Bunyip IX scow hull several years ago and a slideshow was made of his photographs. This video dovetails nicely with Ray Hilton's plans and building instructions.
Correct me if I am wrong But it seems that the plans shown have a curved bottom excepting a foot wide lengthwise centersection which is flat. The boat in the video shows the bottom panel is flat from chine to chine, It is especially prevalent in the stern view.I have been laying this out on paper before I attempt to build one. Quite a craft!
Bald but my eyebrows are growing at a prolific rate. Sailed Windmills and Y-Flyers in the 1960's. Founded Miami University (OH) sailing team. Sailed International 14's and Lasers in the 1970's. Sailed International Canoes in the 1980's to mid 1990's. Sailed Classic Moths since 2002. Enjoy boatbuilding though I'm very, very slow at it (the Internet doesn't help matters). Name in real life: Rod Mincher
After choosing this username (Tweezer is the name of my Classic Moth), further research on the Internet turned up that Tweezerman is a corporate name for a line of pedicure products. Let me emphasize that I do not work for, nor endorse these products.

Edifying. Now I understand the plan, too. So the whole boat is a sealed flotation system, too.
Good tunes, as well.
