I miss my 24’ double planked Chris Craft sea skiff, miss being in my early 20’s even more... ;-)
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.
