Building the TotalBoat work skiff - I love it when a skiff comes together (Episode 37)

The moment we have all been waiting for is finally here. It's finally time to launch and test out our TotalBoat work skiff! The skiff is also for sale on ebay at the link -

The last thing for us to do is put on our final coat of bottom paint now that we have attached our deep runners. Then we are going to lift the boat up onto a trailer and bring it next door so we can mount an outboard motor to the transom. 50hp should do the trick. Before we swell up the bottom planking we are going to apply TotalBoat Teak Oil to the entire interior of the boat but not the bottom for now. Then we're just going to take a garden hose and run some water into the boat to help the planking swell up tight. Now we're all set to launch our skiff, down the ramp and into the water she goes. It's been almost 25 years since I've driven an outboard skiff like this I can't wait to see how it performs.
Also, don't forget to come meet Lou and see the TotalBoat work skiff with your own eyes tomorrow, April 22 8-3pm at the Jamestown Distributors Tent Sale in Bristol, RI.   / 18814.  .
