Devlin Candlefish 13

This is a hand-built Devlin Candlefish 13 boat. It comes with a bluetooth stereo installed with two 6.5" speakers. The boat also has a Humminbird Helix fish finder GPS and Minn Kota 55# electric motor. It comes with a 2010 Mercury 20HP Tiller Outboard Engine. It has an anchor light installed, navigation light, marine battery with built in charger. It comes with the new boat trailer pictured. The tires are new and comes with a spare. It is ready for your next fishing trip or fun time on the water. The current setup will allow the boat to reach speeds of 22 miles per hour. It has been a fun boat but my wife wants a pontoon!

The Candlefish 13 is a versatile small fishing boat. Originally designed to be a cartoppable fishing skiff for high latitude rivers and lakes, she has also proven to be an excellent yacht tender.

With one person aboard, she only draws about 4.5 inches. On an ultimate hunting trip, loaded with gear, she could carry 1323 pounds, draw 10.5 inches and still have over 13 inches of freeboard at the lowest point of the sheer.

Under normal loading, she planes at 20+mph with an 8hp outboard. Sam recently built one of these as a tender for his beloved Josephine, and reports that he loves it.

The kit is assembled inverted over a computer-cut construction frame that indexes the bulkheads at the proper spacing, paralllel, axially-aligned and level. The hull panels are joined end-to-end with our engineered puzzle splices, avoiding the need for fiddly and difficult-to-align scarphing. From this sturdy foundation, you can be sure that you can build an accurate boat.

The basic kit is enough to build the bare hull, ready for rollover.
