Well, it's finally finished and it looks great. In the last episode
Lou takes it out and sea trials it with a Yamaha 50, runs great. It's now listed for sale on EBAY (without outboard), and bidding is up to $17,000 as we speak. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kcFv9SO_8lQ http://www.ebay.com/itm/Classic-16-wooden-work-skiff-built-by-Louis-Sauzedde-on-Tips-from-a-Shipwright-/201900564523?hash=item2f0236202b:g:3QoAAOSw5UZY-ngE&vxp=mtr I'd like to see it with a small center console and helm seat but then it wouldn't be a work boat. It's too pretty for hauling crab pots or oyster tonging in any case. |

She's a bit small for tonging oyster, and the gunwales arn't wide enough to stand on for tonging |

I've never seen anyone stand on the gunwhales when tonging, more often leaning against them. I may have confused the term with deck where it comes into the gunwals, but I've only ever tonged standing on deck, Did it for a living as a young man in winter, Hardest work ever! |

They'll typically rig a steadying sail to help them maintain position while working a rake or basket on the end of a very long pole. |

About as hard work as tonging oysters. Many moons ago I ran the Scoop II a 60' surf clam dredge boat out of Freeport LI for bait clams off Rockaway selling to Head boats from Sheepshead Bay to Montauk. I also ran the 75' Enterprise out of Greenport dredgeing clams off Mattituck for Freeport Sea clam co mostly selling to Doxee, Campbells and Howard Johnsons |

Skipjack use a dredge commonly called a scrape, and tow them across oyster beds. If I recall correctly they also carried a small power skiff on davits and used it only on certain days to push the skipjack towing the dredge. My Dad's friend Bill?

The ones I'm talking about are just ordinary work skiffs with a small, improvised steadying sail -- sometimes just a tarp rigged to a pole. |

As for Port Jeff, it was about 12 miles max from our beach cottage. In that range, maybe a bit less. You could see where to go because there were large smokestacks just east of the harbor, and if you steered just a hair west of them, you'd end up in Port Jefferson. The harbor entrance was really small, so once you got over to long island, you'd have to search a bit. But, of course, you didn't do much boating as a kid. And I don't have to make up kid stories in the hopes of getting attention. Port Jeff from Milford was an easy trip on a decent day, not much farther than the western side of the eastern shore from Solomons. Of course, you wouldn't know that...you had to hunt squirrels for dinner. Something wrong with hunting squirrels for dinner? Apparently, with your having brought it up twice in a few hours, something about the idea bothers you. And, we ate a lot more rabbit than squirrel.

It's nice but I would rather have this: http://www.gunbroker.com/item/622597157 My $45,000 bid didn't do it and I would have been surprised if it did! I remember the Sunday mornings we'd be awakened by the noise of a pair of airboats driven by assholes tearing up the marshlands along the ICW...and I mean "tearing up." I'm sure you would have been among them, given the opportunity. Their persona non grata status was made official somehow as a result of excessive noise. I was hopeful their running over an oyster bed might perforate the bottoms of their boats but, alas, as far as I know, it didn't happen. This company: http://stur-deeboat.com/amesbury-dory/ makes very nice dory style small boats that can be equipped with seats and a console. My dad bought and sold dozens and dozens of these boats when they were made of wood. We knew the original owner, who died a few years ago. I crossed LI Sound in one of these boats with a 15 hp Evinrude on the stern. I think I was about 10 or 11, something like that. Straight over to Port Jeff. Airboats have thick polymer on the hulls to protect them from branches and other debris. Some people run theirs on dry ground. When the polymer is worn, it's replaced. |

I am old and it has been a while but the guys in Everglades City were running regular aluminum hulls in the 80s-90s with big V-8s and a prop. 45 is still a fast boat tho. You don't really want to be going that fast if you are actually in the swamp running around tho. This isn't about speed, it is about getting anywhere you want to go. Some of the hard core guys had nitrous systems to get off that hump they were stuck on. |
