Chesapeake difference

The differences between the Chesepeake 16 and the 16 LT are:

- The sheer panels on the LT are 3/4" shorter in height.
- The rear deck bulkhead has a 48" radius on top.

Both of these modifications could be easily made to the plans in the book.

BTW, if you have any questions about CLC boats, post them on they're web site. They're very open about sharing this information with builders. In fact, the above information came from John, the owner of CLC.
