Third Annual Simmons Sea Skiff Expo

[Skiff Junkie]

The Third Annual Simmons Sea Skiff Expo will take place next weekend, Sept. 10-12. If you can make it to Southport, NC, come on by. You'll see what promises to be (weather permitting) the largest gathering of these legendery boats assembled so far. smile.gif

Nice boat. I plan to build one in the future. Maybe I will have to attend one of these events. There is one for sale on ebay right now.

Is that an 18 or a low sided 20?

The boat pictured is an 18-footer. The 18 actually measures 17'3". This boat is a Simmons Replica, built in the mid-1980's by Nelson Silva. It's one of the first four boats that Nelson built. The boat on e-bay is also a Silva boat. Pictured here is a 1971 model 22-footer, built by T.N. Simmons. smile.gif

It's my ambition to build the 18' for the bay and later the 22' for going offshore.
