Same trailer, same gelcoat just the bottom picture was taken 21yrs ago.
It’s signed. Thanks Chris..Nice to see Claude Berwicks skiff being taken such good care of. Claude came to our first boat show in Huston Texas When all we had to show was the #1 rough hull that I had built in 3 weeks to let Flip use for a Walkers Cay show with Lefty.
At the Huston show I made a 2x12 pond with visqueen filled with 6” of water and we floated #1 fully rigged in it. I stood on the poling tower and talked up this silly little skiff. We taped the turned down trim tabs so as to not cause a leak in the pool. The skiff was floating in plenty of water.
Claude was so impressed he wrote us a deposit check right there and waited for me to finish making the deck molds and get the skiff into production.
Claude was a real gentleman and I miss talking to him.
With that lower spray rail she will be real dry but will make a little noise now and then. It’s a trade off. So many skiffs today that have adopted this upper spray rail design into their designs will end up with the slapping noise too because they are built too heavy or did not design in enough displacement into their skiff.
Look up under the bows deck in the forward hatch to see if it’s signed. Can’t remember.
Navilights by navisafe are awesome. Battery powered. All mount on go pro mounts. Besides the engine there’s only two fuses on the boat and no more freaking holes!I don’t see nav lights, do you keep something portable for the odd night mission or am I just not seeing the light... so to speak.
Is that a muffler coming off the prop in the before pic? I’ve not seen something like that before
Beautiful boat! How do you like the navisafe lights? I've been very interested in those, but haven't heard lots of feedback on how they hold up over time.View attachment 98068 View attachment 98066

Haven’t got a chance to use them a lot. Beauty is you remove them and store them in the nice case they come with. I’ll leave the stern light in place. It doubles as a courtesy light as it lights up the whole cockpit when in the all mode.Beautiful boat! How do you like the navisafe lights?
