The Barnegat Sneak-Box
This page is not an authoritative reference for the sneak box boat. This web page author has never even seen one. He has no plans to build one--although he has heard of plans, he has never seen them either. There is no point in sending e-mail with any technical requests. This page simply lists some online resources you may find of further interest.
