Simple design but choice of wood is nice with traditional shape. wood is from locally grown woods found in central to southern coast of Oregon. Built in Coos Bay, Or. launched in 1988. Wood includes Port Orford cedar mostly, Douglas fir, pacific yew, yellow cedar, white oak. Topsides decking are cotton caulked.

Decking laid Douglas fir old growth with galvanized steel wood screw fastenings. Ceiling 1/2" thick yellow cedar fastened down with steel nails. Concrete keel encased in case hardened steel with 1" diameter galvanized steel bolts.

Tractor tread steel pins inside extended seats, to have more weight for volume. Equal 1 1/2 ton of pig iron lead ingots. More weight was added to provide more stability for the aluminum mast which is 7 taller then the original wooden mast. Herringbone chime construction.

We do 4-5 knts conservatively, but easily can do 7. The last owner pulled 8 logs + replaced original smaller motor. runs great.

Only major negative of this boat is the location of the 30 gallon diesel stainless tank, which would be major job to get it out, if needed. when our fuel lines got clogged we think due to bio-cide breaking up pieces or perhaps Mexican fuel big seas churning the fuel. We resolved by putting a line to cockpit to switch if be similar condition, direct into 5 gallon jug of clean fuel, which is great back up. We carry external jugs of fuel + do use the SS 30 gallon fine.
