A 35' centerboard cruising boat designed for long-distance cruising and living aboard. Simplicity’s raised deck and 11’ beam result in a spacious interior, with standing headroom throughout. Construction is plywood over plywood bulkheads and frames.

The TX18 is an inverted vee boat, Hickman sled type designed for fishing the flats along the Gulf of Mexico or anywhere a shallow draft boat must go long distance in choppy seas.
