Looks like hookdup did some work on it, and then decided to move on.

Current Price: US$ 49,900 Dude will be lucky to get 10 grand for the hull, more likely less than $5,000.00.

I hope he finds a good home for the boat.

This photo here ... posted by nedL ... made me finally understand what this type of design was all about.

I could get used to a Jersey Skiff like that.

Interesting that he talks like he "found it" on here and then tries to sell it for almost 50 grand. Nice boat though and it appears to be well built.

Good luck to him.

I always like to see people ask outrageous sums for unfinished wooden boats......and get them. It gives me hope for a 25% return on my "investment" amidst a sea of expenses and effort that I have always believed would only ever qualify as a "Labor of Love" at boat shows.
