Wide Load

matt_philips · August 7, 2010

New to the forum and figured id post a pic of my new sierra taking its first load. Been building this skiff from scratch with my buddy (unfortunately i am the only one who covers material costs though, haha). Needed to get it out of his garage and into mine. Looks a hell of alot bigger than a 14' skiff in my box though. Truck did great with it on its 12 mile haul. My first time saying , "damn, my frontier couldnt have handled this." Sure it wont be the last time i say that either.

That's pretty cool. I'd love to see some pics of the boat build!

I'm glad I see a picture of a boat, I thought you maybe had 1 to many beers and got a fat chick stuck in the back.

haha, no fat chicks. heres a couple pics of the boat so far. i work in the marine industry for a living. found the best and only site i would ever use for quality plans with the best customer support on the planet for this stuff. Anybody can build one of these and there are about 100 to choose depending on budget of materials and time. For you northern guys i would get one of these plans for the winter garage project. At peak summer is southwest florida, this is my down time for building it. Still got a couple months to go. check out bateau.com. below is link to my boat pics.
