Here's my project from last springs' work. I can set it up for rowing or motoring. Kind of nervous about taking it to a river as I have never floated rivers. Did take it out to the shipping lanes at CQ and that is deeper, huh?

Nice skiff! May I ask whose plans were used? My pop's got an old Evinrude that's just begging for a winter project..

Very nice work! I'm also interested in a project boat similar to yours.

It looks like the cup holder works just fine, too. laugh

Althumbs- good eye I positiond the antique oly can and stubby as a test .

I purchased the plans in 1979 and just got around to building it . Fernwood Boats out of Lynnwood, I don't know if they are around anymore. A couple of well known boat builders at
montana river boats built this boat 20 years ago . one sold it after the first trip the other after the first season. She is a bit wide in the ass end, heavier than modern models, and they say hard to handle. Sounds like my wife so what the H I built it anyway rigging mor for estuaries and lakes.

rays boats Has plans and kits that are similar.

Thanks for the info, papa. I'm finally getting around to getting the garage cleaned out, so it's time to fill it up again laugh

On a somewhat related note: Don't ever make this mistake. When you and your wife go to the mall and she stops to look at the window display at Victoria's Secret and you tell her: "Don't bother, you'd never fit in those, anyway." Even after nearly 29 years of wedded bliss, she still packs a good right cross!!! laugh
