Tracey O'Brien

[dcobbett]

Tarcey O'Brien is a designer on the west coast that offers plans for a "Deadrise 19" and a "Predator 20". Both boats appear to be open skiffs, developed for plywood construction, and both seem to have moderate deadrise and topside flair. I would like to talk to anyone who has first hand experience building or operating either design. Thanks in advance.

Check out "Launchings" in WB 161. Very nice version of the Deadrise 19. The builder's name and address is in the caption.

R.E. Tracy Obrien I built a version of the Deadrise 19 that I call "V-19 Walkabout". The only photo out there is W.B. 161. I will post it in "my boat" as soon as I can arrange it. It has proven to be a great boat; far beyond expectations! The skiff that I had at the P.B.B.S. was not a Tracy Obrien design, but a brand new design, by myself and co builder Roland Desmarais. It shows some T. O. influence as i built a few of his boats. If you would like to check out the WALKABOUT V 19 call me or email Jerry Mathieu 508 6795050 508 6368020
