Amphibious Barnegat Bay Sneakbox and Sunfish

05 Jan 19:

Alright, here's something that came up in discussion recently. Could the Sunfish be amphibious over water and then onto ice if there were a couple of runners out by the chines? There is an old duck boat of similar size, with spoon bow and rounded deckline called a Barnegat Bay Sneakbox that is reported to have been amphibious. Who wants to give it a try this Winter? Chris? Jeff? Alan?
