Lumber Yard Work and Fishing Skiffs
The design for my work and fishing skiffs is based on the Brockway boats. Rugged, stable, and inexpensive, these flat-bottom boats are intended for use in along shore fisheries such as shellfishing, aquaculture, etc. I call these boats Lumber Yard Skiffs [LYS], because most of the materials are available from the local lumber yard.
There are three sizes, 12', 16' and 20'. You may purchase them a bare wood hulls, semi-finished or ready to launch with any custom features you would like.
