Skippercraft runabout by DBorgens - 1:16 scale

[thibaultron]

I'm following along with interest! In about 1960, when I was a "Wee Lad", my grandfather built a 16 foot runabout, over the course of a couple years, at his camp on the ST. Lawrence River. I have many years of fond memories of both the Grandparents, that camp and the boat, all gone now.

 

I wish I knew what plans he used (I think it was a kit boat), even some pictures of it. Both my brother and I (as adults) tried to get him to sell us that boat when he sold the camp, but he wouldn't. We never figured out why.

I have totally failed to keep this log up with my build. My apologies.

This boat was a gift to my father which I delivered this summer. He loves it (yeah). So rather than make many posts here, I will put pictures in the completed gallery. If anyone wants more detail on any aspects, please ask here.

Thanks

Hey! Yeah I want to see the outcome. We live here on Vashon, my “Woody” is a 58, Comet Jr. Keep up the good work

Beautiful!
