What’s New
It has been a while
It has been quite a few years since a new power boat came out of the shop. Almost all were sailboats in recent decades. That is about to change. When the Welsford Pathfinder is finished we will start on this John Atkin designed Ninigret. This is a 22 foot fishing boat with a small open cabin (canvas covered) with a Vee berth and room for a Porta-Potti . The design calls for a power plant of 25 - 60 hp outboard. We have a 50 hp Mercury in the shop for re-build. It is a 1973 model. The boat is a plywood lapstrake over white oak frames. Twelve of them. This should be a fun project. Scheduled to splash the boat in early 2015.
