Hi all,

Cricket and I are excited to announce a course this November at Lowell's Boat Shop in Amesbury, Massachusetts, the oldest working boat shop in the country and the birthplace of the ocean dory. We'll be building one or two McKenzies depending on class size, over the course of two adjacent three-day weekends. If anyone here is wanting to build a drift boat but are feeling too timid or don't feel they have the requisite skills, this is a wonderful opportunity in a truly amazing…

I am looking for a Woody Hindman style double ender if anyone knows where one might be available.

Thanks,

Skip Rotticci

I just got a Don Hill boat and it doesn’t have an anchor system on it yet, just some anchor cleats.  At times I want to run a small motor off the back.  From what I can tell it looks like Dierks has a good system that kicks the anchor off to the side of the transom.  Does anyone have pics of this?  Do you have to drill…

Looking to sell my drift boat that sits in my garage hauling in more dust than fish these days. I used it a lot when I first got it, but we struggle to get her in the water more than once a year anymore. It should be used and enjoyed by someone else at this point, and hopefully you or someone you know is that person. Happy to share photos or any info I can provide if you need. It comes with sawyer oars and a pretty nice Baker trailer. The boat is solid and ready for the river. If you are…

I have a late sixties Rogue River Boat Shop Mackenzie style drift boat that i'm looking to sell. It belonged to my friends father who passed away some time back. This rig has been in indoor storage since the early seventies. it's plywood and in prime shape. the guy that owned it was a guide that moved to the coast from Grants Pass and entered the commercial fishing industry and put the boat away for good. anyway his widow needed to sell the property off and i bought the boat and a nice old…

Working on a wooden skiff (built in the early 90's I think, wrecked and repaired at least once before I got it). Pulled off the fiberglass on the bottom two winters ago and glassed it, plus did some new glass on the  outside panels this summer. This winter going to repair the transom, tear out and build new end trays and fix cracks in the fiberglass on the inside. The anchor pulley screws were glassed over and now are rusted. Not sure I can get them out without just drilling them out.…

What type of apparatus do ya'll have for moving your wooden boat around the shop/garage? Pics most appreciated. TIA.

I am excited to offer the McKenzie boat class again at WoodenBoat School in Maine this July. It's perfect for someone who really wants to build one but doesn't know how or where to start, or is intimidated by the array of skill sets necessary to do the job.

We will build the Hindman 16' Double-ender with transom.

We will start by lofting the boat from a table of offsets, correcting, customizing or idealizing as we go. We'll build all the frames, transom and a rolling-bevel…

Noooo!  Had to store the boat outside for 1 1/2 years.  Tightly tarped to protect it but somehow water got inside.  Now I have mold from stem to stern.  Bought one of those "cloth" garages so it is protected but somewhat "open".  Looking to move soon.  Hopefully will find a place with a shop so I can work on it.

A beauty! $3500.00

Completely re-worked. Includes oars (1extra), anchor, cover, storage box, trailer which has new wheels,lights ,tires. located in Palouse, WA



Get plenty of compliments when you row this beauty down your favorite river. Age forces sale, so the boat needs a new owner.  contact Scott@ scottnilsson53@gmail.com…

1. Yes I let her sit since 2005.  Kids etc.  Bottom, battens etc are being addressed with penetrating epoxy then a full coat of the hard stuff. My question is I am seeing that skide plates, high density, are no longer suggested as neexed, especially for fishing/class I water.  Will another 1/4 inch added to be bottom, epoxed and some glass be enough or any suggestions are welcome.

*REDUCED PRICE*
