    Looks like Randy posted just before you did

    Can't say I'm exactly mad about it but it goes to show that there's a lot of talent on the other side of the pond that's going unreported on this side .

    Wish there was a good transom shot . The little bit of the outdrive that is visible looks 'different' .
    Just because something's old doesn't mean you throw it away !

    Looks very much like vinyl wrap , dash and interior still in gel coat. and there doesn't seem to be a joint where the 'King' plank meets the top of transom, and the grain in the top of transom is running in the wrong direction, most boat builders would run the grain across the transom .....still...its different.

    It's possible however, I don't think you could say conclusively without real "eyes on". This could also be a veneer and not 3/8 plank. In those two instances, it's just mad laminating skills. If plank... even more skills.

    There does not have to be a visible joint i.e. you can see no joint in the J-Craft pics below yet, it's planked. You can see joints on the 22 at the bow, where the covering boards meet the king plank.
    As for the grain... well, that's just preference of the builder. My woody boat has the transom/aft deck grain orientation exactly the same as this 22.

    Stumbled into this one a few months back. Several things, including the relationship of the hatch edges to the inlay, suggest to me it may be a wrap. Or someone has some insane skills. Pretty to look at.
