Pretty much done with the skiff but I’ll post a few pics a day to drag you guys along as if it’s being built in real time. I don’t have time to sit down and do one giant long post.
It all started when I (on a whim) decided to post my 14 skimmer skiff for sale at a price that I thought was high but I had people fighting over it and it sold pretty much over night.
Called Harry the next day (Jan 9) and told him I had cash and wanted to do a kit, he told me to swing by and we can get it started and it wouldn’t take more than a couple weeks to have a skiff out of the mold for me. After going by the shop and paying full in cash he told me it would be a little while longer until I got my hull, about 4-8 weeks which was completely understandable and not a problem. I left him alone because he is a busy guy and I know how annoying it is to be pestered with updates constantly after you gave someone a timeframe already. I asked for an update about 6 weeks in and he told me to call him. On the phone he told me that the cold weather and turkey hunting had him behind schedule, and now it’ll be ready May 1st. Less understandable but you gotta let the man live a little. Fast forward to April 22 I get the call that the hull is ready but no trailer. I made some phone calls and got a trailer the next day and headed to Sopchoppy to pick it up.
I have nothing but respect for Harry and his company and what he has accomplished in his life and I would buy another skiff from him in the same way.
here it is:
