Scroll to walk the hull

01 · Bow

A stem you can beach.

Reverse chine forward, 3/16″ plate, welded to a solid stem bar. Run it up on a sandbar and back off without thinking about it.

02 · Beam

Eight foot two, on purpose.

Wide enough to fish four and still trailer without a permit. The chine carries the beam aft so it stays flat at rest.

03 · Deck

Nothing to trip on.

Flush hatches, no exposed fasteners, and every weld dressed. The console sits far enough forward to fish two off the bow.

04 · Transom

Rated to 150.

Full-height welded transom with a bolt-through jack plate. Runs skinny with the plate up and rides home with it down.

The hulls

Three boats. That’s the whole catalogue.

We build one at a time and we only build what we know. If you need something else, we’ll tell you who does it well.

18′6″

Marsh Skiff

Six inches of draft and a poling platform. For the ponds behind Pecan Island where nothing else gets in.

The one in the frame above. Fishes four, crosses open bay, and still gets into a foot of water.

How it's built

Lofted, cut, welded, dressed.

  1. 01

    Lofted from stations

    The hull you scrolled through is drawn as twelve cross-sections before a single sheet is cut. Change one and the whole boat changes with it.

  2. 02

    Cut on the table

    5052 marine plate, cut to the loft. Nothing is trimmed to fit on the jig — if it does not drop in, the drawing was wrong.

  3. 03

    Welded inside and out

    Full penetration on the chines and the transom. No rivets anywhere on the hull.

  4. 04

    Dressed and delivered

    Every weld ground flush, rigged with your motor, and run in Vermilion Bay before you ever see it on the trailer.

Order

Fourteen weeks from deposit.

We take four builds at a time. Tell us the water you fish and we’ll tell you which hull and what it runs.
