Another Project near Molalla (was: Scandal)

I'm glad you finally got Scandal home, Dirt. I'm sure you'll give her a good home. :o) The smallest outboard with neutral and reverse you can find will be plenty for Scandal.

https://flic.kr/s/aHsiD9HYfX Is the big "skipjack" hull still at Kay's. Sure an interesting project, but a Big one. It's the 22-footer from Harry V. Sucher's boatbuilding book. A Big, fat, 22-footer. Pat bought it as a mostly completed plywood hull. Could be finished as a sailboat, even with a huge rig like a sandbagger! If you have a lot of muscular friends to shift ballast. <g> When sail gave way to gasoline, hulls like this made good displacement-speed motorboats. I think pat's boat could be made into a real nice power cruiser, if one had a big enough pickup to tow it around. It's on a trailer now, but, IIRC, it wasn't a very good one when Pat got the boat, and that was quite a while ago... http://www.boat-links.com/images/PatsSkipjack/PatsSkipjack.pdf Kay's number is in the Coots' Contact List. I'll bet the skipjack could be had for a song. On 5/1/2022 1:36 PM, Case wrote:

The skipjack is still there. Pat kept it well tarped, and the hull is in solid condition. Would make an excellent start for someone who wanted that size & sort of boat - sail or power. I didn't look closely at the trailer, but Kay thought it was in good shape, iirc.
