When is the best time to buy a power boat? When gas prices or high or when they are low? You can get a better price and value when gas prices are higher. Skiff Craft boats were made in Ohio with Amish craftmanship. For years they were in competition with Lyman particularly in Ohio and Minnesota. The Ohio factory is still open and operating doing refurbishment of wood hulled Skiff Crafts. For the last seven years this Skiff Craft has been barn stored and meticulously cared for. In 2016 the deck and rubrails were replaced with original OEM material ordered from the factory. Installation included removal of everything on the deck and two coats of epoxy sealer, with new deck secured with monel staples at the gunnel behind new rubrail. In 2017 the cockpit decking material was replaced with OEM material. Also in 2017, the stern was refinished and a new name was installed, with application of four coats of varnish before the name, and two coats after (this will enable easier removal for new owner). In 2017 a new custom Load Rite Elite bunk trailer with electric disc brakes was purchased, and is included with the sale. In 2018 the original exhaust manifolds and elbows were replaced as a precautionary measure. In 2019 the cockpit varnish was lightly sanded an recoated. In 2020 the boat was trailered back to the factory to have the original oak skeg replaced, reseal the hull interior, rebed the stem, recoat the stern varnish and refinish the topsides. This boat was well cared for prior to my ownership in upstate NY and has spent much of it's life in covered storage both in and out of the water. The original Chrysler Marine 360 still runs well and sounds great. Skiff Craft was featured in Woodenboat #112 May/June 1993. Too many boats reasonable offers will be considered.
