Mate.....beautiful.   I like your cockpit scupper idea, should get all the last little dregs out.  How did you transition from the cone shape to the poly pipe (joint).

 

Wow,great build photos! A real education, thanks for sharing. Can I ask where you got your seat/platform? I need one just like it!

 

Very nice job. Several years ago I built a 24' Hunky Dory Glen L design. It took me about 2 years of weekends. I understand the commitment and it is an addiction once you start it is all you think about. How long this this project take? Toadfish

 

Thats skiff is the nuts!  The crab decal really personifies the boat.

I was curious though why there was a 25hp hangin on her in your driveway but a 15 on the water.  Was the 25 too much engine?

Good luck when you get to Flamingo...

Just Freaking AWESOME!!!

That thing is so sweet and simple I love it. AND you gave me an idea on how to finish off the cracknoe... When I get the time to work on her.

This statement is so true. When you have one of these projects it is all you think about.. a true addiction. But be ware, this addiction can be too easy to quite when Life happens around you. Other more important real life issues take away your time and next thing you know the boat is just sitting there looking at you every day the exact same way it was the day before....

This thread just revamped my drive... Thank you I needed that!!

 

Very Beautiful!!!

 

Sweet!

 

i wanna build one how long did it take?

 

According to the picture dates,
it took from August of 2008,
until launched February of 2009

 

This skiff looks great. I was just wondering how much did all the materials and things cost and where you got the removable poling platform? the only thing that looks close to it is a motocross stand for a dirtbike.

 

What plans did you use? It looks great! I'd like to build something similar in the near future. Congrats and again thats a beautiful boat.

He used the FS-18 plans as just a guide but mixed up things along the way

 

I had FS18 plans but never used them, too many numbers. I ended up making patterns for the hull out of pressboard. Spent about 2000.00 on materials and paint. Removable platform was built by a alum fab shop, just told him what to build.

 

Is that regular plywood or marine plywood?

 

used Okume 1088 marine plywood, its around 85.00 per sheet, this skiff took around 7 sheets i think.

 

Cool little skiff man!!!
