Great! One of the most simple, high power-to-weight-ratio, reliable outboards ever made!

Now I have to go remeasure my garage, LOL. Very clean boat. I am on the Sound as well. Finishing up fixing an old fiberglass kayak for now but will probably do something like this in a few years when my kid can help.
More articles like this please. Doable boats on reasonable budgets. It’s nice to look at the fancy ones but getting on the water this is the way.

Cheers,
Steve

The resulting flat-bottomed skiff is hands-down, and dollar for dollar, the best investment in a boat I’ve made in a very long career as a boat owner.

Nine years later, she has proven to be an excellent family boat and still spends her summers on Rhode Island’s Narragansett Bay paying back the low cost of building, operating, and maintaining her with more fun per dollar than the long lost of more expensive boats I’ve owned.

Thanks,

I would be interested. She’s a beauty! I typically work from a table of offsets but would adapt to whatever you were willing to share.
I would be willing to send a few dollars for the time you would have invested in your ebook as well if you decide to pursue it.

It would be ideal for cod jigging here in Newfoundland.
