Minimum size ocean voyager

Rifleman was intended as an economical planing hulled speedboat suited for coastal inshore fishing.
She is built of plywood and is intended for 15/20 hp outboard motors.

Digger 17 is a classic form of flats skiff, seen working along every shore. Designed for modest power, she can get into the shallowest water and carry a hefty load.

The Mill Creek 16.5™ is enormously popular because it can be used in so many ways. Not only can you paddle it as a single or a double, but you can sail it, or add a sliding-seat rowing unit.

An easy-to-build boat designed to ship as a kit in a flat pack box. Everything needed to complete the boat, except the motor, is included in the kit.

26′ Auxiliary KetchBased on a traditional fishing vessel type called a “Cowhorn” this design features an inboard engine and ballast keel.The arrangement provides two berths, a head and modest galley.

The latest in Bill Garden’s idea of the perfect kid’s cruising boat. Simple enough to be put together in the garage, salty enough to daydream on, and safe enough as well. She’s quite a handsome double-ender, with a fixed keel. This is an “oh my” boat.Construction: Plywood planking over sawn frame

TRAWLER YACHT 485

A 15' x 26" recreational/light touring kayak.

The design of the Fisherman 23′ came from the request of a customer to build a sport fishing boat, fast, trailerable and also comfortable for family trips.
It’s a boat of modern design that is inspired by the American fisherman, with forms less pronounced.
