Here we have a brand-new, authentic example of the legendary Amesbury skiff--an outboard-powered, transom-sterned dory. This fast, roomy, and stable design was once the workhorse of the Massachusetts North Shore—and it’s beautiful, too. It was built at the historic Lowell’s Boat Shop for an upcoming how-to-build series to be published in WoodenBoat; recently, it was moved to WoodenBoat School for finishwork. Available for pickup at the WoodenBoat Show in Mystic, CT, June 27-29. After that, it will be located in Amesbury, MA. $8,900. For details, call or e-mail Graham McKay at Lowell’s Boat Shop, 978-834-0050, gmckay@lowellsboatshop.com; or Matt Murphy at WoodenBoat, 207-359-4651, matt@woodenboat.com. (Bottom photo: sistership; boat for sale currently has no console, but one can easily be added).
