Hi, new to the group with a question....

I have a 19 Kenner Pro Skiff. This Kenner model isn't manufactured any
longer. It has a very slight v up front and is flat at the rear. A
super hand laid hull in general.

I'm looking for a manufacturer with a 19'+ hand laid fiberglass hull
model, with or w/o a cap, that offers a sharper v in the front with the
rear flat.

I'd appreciate any suggestions about what mfg might be doing something
like this.


How critically important is "hand laid"?

More 19-footers are going to be built with chopped strand.

A popular chopped strand choice:


Chuck,

Hand laid is somewhat critical as is the possibility of no cap, just a
rolled hull. Weight is the driver on this. If anything comes to mind
I'd appreciate it. Thank you for your advice.

I believe the following boat is still hand laid:
