As I said, I've got real doubts about the durability of one used on our rocky beaches, but maybe I am wrong about that? They take a licking and keep on ticking. Can I assume that the wooden flat bottom skiff I suggest, is not something you would consider? Wood  it be better if it had a modifiedvee or are there other reasons... I think the Brockway type skiff (dry weight 250) with the tiller 25 would suit his needs and might even be able to fit close to his budget too. I dunno - rock beach, wood boat. Hey, I suppose, but you'd have to really build up the bottom and protect it with something. Let's take your Brockway and run it up on Gould Island in Narragansett Bay and see what happens. :) Hmmm - on second thought...maybe not. :) Don't they affix a copper runner on the wood keel to help it last? Years ago I saw a lobsta boat done that way - had a skeg running the length of the boat and the skeg was protected with a copper strip. I've seen wooden sail boats with SS strips running the length of the keel. Ii want to say that protective strip was called a shoe, but it may have been heel. It's been a while. |
