  I have a friend that has years of experience building period wooden masted ships from kits. He is wishing to build the Hacker runabout that is lodged at the Lake Placid Lodge in New York. I believe that the boat is called Christie and is a twin cockpit barrel back.
  He is looking mostly for a kit, which I am unable to locate, so I have suggested to him building it from scratch. Any one know what boat she is and if there are plans to it?
  If not, anyone have connections for plans to a twin cockpit barrel back from Hacker?

Something like this?

Perhaps an email to this company might help.  http://www.hackerboat.com/
