Re: Help wanted!!

The work skiff is much harder to get on and off the roof rack.

I have found the smaller the boat, the more use it gets!
Lamenting the lack of time to go in Diablo, and enjoying the time in
Pointy Skiff (it also doubles as a luggage carrier on the roof for
vacations.

PS. case in point, I have no miles on my Micro yet.
I have a Pointy Skiff that I have regularly carried three adults out
to the mooring under oar, and taken 2 adults fishing with the four hp
Johnson.

I have also used the POinty Skiff to take two small kids fishing for
an afternoon with the electric motor. Very slick!

ps. time to rebuild Pointy, the luan ply has had it after 18 years
of continuous use and exposure to the elements. The boat owes us
nothing!

Or, I would go with a little bigger boat such as the 15' foot long
Work Skiff

The Pointy Skiff is the first boat that comes to mind. I'm not sure
about the capacity, though, and it isn't ugly.

I need to make a very simple skiff capable of taking a small outboard
as well as being rowed, to use as a tender to get out to a friend's
boat. Needs to be able to take three adults.

Has Phil designed a suitable flat-iron skiff, I couldn't find one in
the listing,

Any other ideas for plans much appreciated, the boat needs to be
tough enough to leave on a river bank all summer and ugly enough not
to get stolen, preferably about 11-12 ft long

Cheers,
