Ray, I had one of those in the early 80s. 26' with a 327/300hp inboard. |
No boat, back in the suds.

That boat doesn't look anything like a "downeast" design.

I am far from being an expert on the subject but....It was posted in the Downeast boat forum, and was regarded by the enthusiasts there as a good example of that stlye.
Maybe you could post some examples of what you consider downeast skiff in the 20-24' range
Here is an Ellis 20...the company calls it classic downeast style.

There was a beauty for sale on the way out of the river several years ago Bob. One of those Mackensie Cuttyhunk beauties moored right near boathouse row.

....I do think/dream about building another boat and it would be similar. Would do it if the funds became available by some miracle....and a commitment from my son to help....build time would be about two years if I retire and work on it instead of building houses.
My son piloted the boat over to cuttyhunk for the first time on sunday.....he was ecstatic.
We need a boat that can make that trip....even when it isn't great conditions like it was.

I bet you had a silent sigh of relief as you approached the island...in a smaller boat, it seems like you're never going to get there....until you finally get there... |
 ... it finally happened, there are no more secret spots

yes ....but from previous runs out there i worry more about the trip back. It's an idyllic setting...very beautiful.......if you relax too long.....the sea state can change quickly and make the trip back longer and rougher.
