Boats For Sale

Don't you just hate it when you see something for sale and the seller doesn't seem to want to tell you the price? We have more respect for our visitors than that, so we don't work that way–never have. As you scroll down you will see that our prices are fair and stated openly right here on this page. And should you have questions, we will answer them directly as well.

We have been building and repairing wooden boats since 1970. And for all of those years, nearly every boat has been custom built. Every once in a while though, as our building schedule allows, we build a boat just for the sheer pleasure of it. Three of those boats appear on this page.

This first boat is our prototype Harbor Skiff.

She spent last season as a demonstrator. She is 12' overall with a 5' beam and is offered with or without that 2.5hp Yamaha outboard. She's in excellent condition and is complete with a pair of curved blade 8' spruce oars.

With her 5' beam, she makes a very stable fishing platform. She rows well and is easily powered with a small outboard, even with 4 aboard. You'd be amazed at her capacity.

She's planked with Lloyd's Register 9mm Meranti marine ply, glued lapstrake, so this is a very low maintenance boat. To have her built today and finished as seen in these photos, her price would be in the $3800 range. She's for sale for $3000, not including the outboard.

We also have a 14' Duck Trap Wherry on hand.

This wherry was delivered to her new owner on July 13th.
As soon as time allows, we plan to set up another 14' glued lapstrake Duck Trap Wherry–in fact her transom and plank keel are already made. She'll have the same lines, but an entirely different look. Stay tuned...

This boat was built for display purposes and has never been in the water. As you can see, she is a two-position pulling boat. What is not so obvious in the photos is that she has a curved face African Mahogany transom as well as curved rowing thwarts. She is, in fact, very nearly the same as the boat we built that took a blue ribbon at the Wooden Boat Show held in Mystic, CT.

This wherry is planked with the finest Lloyd's Register 6mm Okoume marine ply, and weighs in at less than 100 pounds. There is no need for internal framing, so this boat will be very easy to swab out and maintain. She's painted Bristol Beige inboard as well as out, and she owes the depth of finish on her brightwork to Epifanes varnish. Those two pairs of 8' custom spruce oars are included for optimum performance. The oars always want to be matched to the boat, especially in a superb pulling boat like this one.

This Duck Wherry is worth nearly $10,000., and she has been in the gallery long enough. That's not what boats are for, and it is time to change the display, so she is being offered for sale as you see her here for $ 8350. That's a good deal by any standard.

Our third boat is a Lincolnville Salmon Wherry.

This is a just completed 14' 2-position model with a lug rig. We've built nearly 50 of these wherries over the years, and in every respect, this one is what you'd expect of a builder with over 40 years of experience.

This is a very powerful hull, strongly built with some of the very last of the 9mm Lloyd's Register Okoume marine ply. Her hull is glued lapstrake and features sawn frames–an important feature in a hull's longevity. Note her double guard rails, bronze half oval on the stem, and her regular and standing oarlocks amidships.

That shapely transom is classic. Practically double ended on the waterline, these boats are particularly adept at working on and off the shore. Note that she is standing upright without shoring of any sort. Wherries owe that ability to their plank keel, and this one–like the original working boats–is fitted with beech wear shoes.

Even in her unfinished condition at this stage of construction, you can see that she is well laid out for comfortable rowing and sailing. Colors, by the way, vary from monitor to monitor. Her inboard planking, top framing and guards are Interlux Bristol Beige; her outboard planking, oars, and thwarts are Petit brand Burgundy.

This Lincolnville Salmon Wherry is being offered at a very reasonable $12,250, complete with 2 pairs of custom 8'-4" oars, spars, sail, and rigging. (No additional charge for the dust.)

One and all are time-tested designs, and are built to last. We wouldn't skimp on the quality of the materials any more than we would compromise their joinerwork. If you would care to discuss one of these fine boats or having a new one built to your specifications, we're here to answer your questions.
