    Nice boat. That thing looked light on the test run. I think more weight on the bow will work out well. Looking forward to the next video.

    Welcome
    That’s a cool classic skiff.
    I have have a shop I restore and build poling skiffs in the Boca Grande area. May I suggest in keeping with the original design of My Roberts keeping all the decks below the gunnel walks. That’s such a classic feature of the older flats skiffs. It helps keep everyone more centered and keeps your fly line in the boat. I recently built a temp mold for just the hatches with a 4” flange. That I then glassed into the flat foam deck panels and over the bulkhead. This had nice gutters and it drained under the lid. So no drain tubes and hoses needed. I would have loved to get my hands on this. Can you share a little more on how it came about and where it was found? These old skiffs are rare and getting expensive. That’s kinda like a barn find Shelby you got there.
    Check my videos out of the skiff I designed and built.

  • @TriCSyndicate
    @TriCSyndicate Před měsícem

    A question coming from not knowing and learning; Why is there a need to put as much weight in the bow as possilbe? (fuel cell and trolling motor battery) It seems like that would make for a lot of weight and deeper bow draft after you add an angler on the front deck.
    Looking forward to watching the progess on this project.
