Is this an unbuilt design, or does Stambaugh just not have any pics worthy of display on his website?

The concept is great. The design appears to be quite sound. I'm intrigued.

Got a pic?

There are 100's of boats that use Yanmar's 1GM10 for propulsion!

The 1GM10 Launch Cruiser is a classic boat with features and capabilties that will provide numerous opportunities for enjoyment. Her classic lines and style will not go out of fashion and will be sure to draw admiration wherever she goes. She is designed around the Yanmar 1GM10 with 9 hp max at 3600 RPM and 8 hp continuous at 3400 RPM. This engine will provide enough power at the continuous rating to push the 1GM10 Launch Cruiser up to 7 knots in calm water. She will cruise comfortably at 5 or 6 knots with power to spare. Her 20 gallon fuel capacity will provide a range of more than 300 nmi at 6 knots. Her box keel configuration provides a number of valuable features including:
Space for inboard engine, fuel and batteries
Good tracking ability
Flat surface to rest on when anchored where the tide may run out
Able Vee configuration forward that should make little fuss in a seaway
She has comfortable quarters for two on extended outings. The generous aft cockpit is ideal for lounging. There is ample space for deck chairs or fixed side seating ad required. The cockpit provides space for younger crew to sleep when cruising with a family. The fixed canopy will provide shade and shelter in good weather and bad. Construction is a combination tack and tape and glue and screw taking advantage of the benefits of both. The plywood and epoxy hull will provide a long happy life with minimal maintenance.

For my $, I'd put a screen house from the aft end of the cabin to the aft end of the engine box. For the climate that suits that boat, 'squitos would be of concern - and now that Nile Virus bearing 'squitos are here...
