Some kewl wood boats

Post by Chalk »

One of my favorites that I had forgotten, this guy built the boat and the trailer :o . He has 25,262 miles on this boat since he built it
Here's a picture of the boat

He has been to these places in red via water in this boat, quit an accomplishment

Another one I found today, I had the plans to this boat, but sold them about a year ago

Chalk,
Where is/was the Flats Flyer built? It's very similar to my Bayshore, except it doesn't have the tumblehome aft and a less pronounced Carolina flare. The first BS was a cold-molded plug built by Jarrett Bay Boatworks. Bayshore started making them out of glass. Chaos now owns the molds and has made several significant modifications to them.

I love mine tho. It'll handle 5-ft. seas and still floats in 9 inches of water. And I've got the biggest casting deck in the fleet.

Dave it was built by Steve Miller in North Carolina from the plans designed by Ken Hatkinson now sold on Glen-l.com

Here is the same boat built by another builder (boat in the background is wood too)

Very sweet. The OBX/Harkers Island stamps are all over them.

Apalach has an antique boat show every year (Oct. maybe?) and they had a Willys skiff and other wood boats the last time I went. Old engines, etc. too. Nice way to spend a morning.
