#5051--HOW TO BUILD A 15-FT. OUTBOARD SKIFF
This boat can give a great deal of pleasure in the building. Designed for strength in open water, it will take a 25 h.p. motor. Because of her virtues of clean-cut lines added to spaciousness, added to exceptional seaworthiness, she could become the boat building project that takes a few months of care and thought.  Don’t try to rush building this design though; you may consider yourself merely the average handyman, but actually on this project you will be heading for the professional boat building class. Don’t, therefore, abandon her halfway there. If the job gets complicated, set aside work for a while, then return to it. You’ll be refreshed by the rest and in the mood to carry on over a period of several weeks. Except for the coaming filler piece, which is in Alaska yellow cedar, the boat is made of white oak, Douglas fir, and Douglas Fir plywood panels in two grades, AA and AC.
