A 15' skiff designed by Ross Lillistone of Bayside Wooden Boats. 1088 Meranti, Douglas fir and some yellow pine. Stainless hardware and bronze fasteners (very few) and bronze oar horns. White oak risers. The boat built easily and moves like a ghost over the water. I am using 8.5' oars and they make for very power strokes at a relaxed pace. I have had upwards of 600 pounds in her it the weight makes the boat handle and "ride" very nicely. While reaching it's limits, I don't feel that the boat was unduly burdened, and we had some good fishing that day.
