2017 Custom Old Wharf Dory CC Skiff

Rugged flat-bottom work or pleasure skiff, suitable for any commercial use or boater seeking a low-maintenance but reliable boat. This skiff has been over-built, fiber-glassed  and personalized by her builder. The 2017 Yamaha 25 four-stroke motor will push her over 18 knots with ease. Her dry weight is just over 1200 lbs and is easily towed with her new galvanized bunk trailer. The boat is DEM approved, meets all USCG requirements, has a Hull ID and is RI State titled. 

Can be seen by appointment in Middletown, RI.

Design:

• The "Lumberyard skiff" or "LYS" design comes from Walter Baron, owner of the Old Wharf Dory Company in Wellfleet, Massachusetts  These  16-and 20-foot boats (based on the Brockway skiffs) are simple, rugged and easy to build. The 16-footer requires just three sheets of 1/2" and 4 sheets of 3/4" 8-foot meranti plywood, and Baron says he can finish a bare hull in about 40 hours. A tricked out 16-footer would come equipped with flotation, a short foredeck, side decks, interior coaming, a center console, cedar floorboards, and a fiberglass-sheathed exterior hull. The skiff would run about $9,000 without the recommended 25to 30-hp outboard.
