I'll try to be marginally helpful to the actual intent of the thread. I've seen a few really nice west coast boats (that big Nordic, LaveyCraft, Larry Smith) but all in all, most west coast boats are flat water boats. And even the big ones are flat water boats!
I saw a photo in Hot Boat recently and it looked like the stringers on one of the west coast boats were just plywood that was screwed or glued to the bilge floor!
And for the record, the last lake I boated on was named Ontario.

I never understood the paint / get splattered bilges. Why would someone do that? Do they think it looks good, or is it covering something up?
As for the carpet, I once owned a Crownline with the wonderful plywood / carpet combo - right into the engine compartment. NEVER again will I buy a boat with non-removable carpet.

East Coast.......North East coast to be specific. Built to Run through the big stuff, but fast enough to run in the flat stuff as well. No plywood anywhere, in fact no wood at all any where, just Carbon and epoxy.
