Harry, that's a pretty boat.  How's it worked out for your use ?

These things tend to work themselves out in this forum, denaldel01.

And ‘the Chief’ speaks from his own experience doing work-skiffs out of nearly anything he can lay his hands on... 
It looks like he does not always need plans to get on the water.

Thanks all.

I'm should have been more specific.  I'm interested in reviews and commentary about Phils design #618 Work Skiff.  Thanks

I built the 15' version but even shorter.  I built it on 10.5in centers rather than 12 to fit a shorter  deck space, came out at 13 something. I built it with a outboard well , something I think is feature in a small outboard powered skiff. Pics attached of under construction, finished and in use,

Has anyone built a small Workskiff?  I'm considering it.  Lots of 18' Clamskiffs but I'm having problems finding much info on the 15' X 4' skiff.

I've built a skiff.  Will you sail,row,motor. ? That matters. Building a Flat Iron skiff is more tricky.  Totally flat bottom is seldom needed.  Length effects bottom curve. Net weight and expcted cargo effect design.  A generic design would be pointed bow rise 5 or 6 inches width midship 40 to 48 inches. Transom pinched in about 3 inches each side. Aft rocker 3 or 4 inches.  Sides flair effects bottom rocker.  Need some rocker fore and aft  to sail well.
Flat bottom last 1/3 for motors. I suggest you find a boat similar to what you want.  Take photos measurements and draw up your own boat.  Chief
