What do you think of her? I would like some opinions of it before I give out more details... kind of a raw first impression. One bit of info...I didn't build it.

Nice skiff.Good call on the motor location.Will make a great close-shore fishing platform.

good looking little boat. Is that a storage compartment up front?

Apparently...not part of the plans but surely a flexible add-on. Most choose to modify in some way to suit...seems to be one of those ways.

It appears he built in the storage but I don't know about the flotation...It is possible it is simply a sealed tank.
Now for the info...This is the first build of a Duckskiff, a humble design effort of mine. Plans are free exclusively from Duckworks...on the plans page. This guy did a really nice example and I wanted to show it off a bit.

It looks really nice. I like the gunwales. Did the boat turn out nice and stiff?
A skeg or rudder in back would help boat control with the trolling motor up front. Most people leave the outboard tilted partly into the water for this reason.

It is already on for every profile. I have yet to figure out why it will not accept HTML tags. Sorry. |
