In 2012 , I built a wooden/fiberglass skiff with the GF14 plans from bateau.com.
I have since lived in the keys, Alaska and now the USVI and the boat has never even gotten wet. It has lived on a trailer under a tarp on Johns Island. Time for it to be used.
It was built with a 25 hp tiller motor in mind. The plans were for a long shaft but the transom could very easily be cut down 5 inches and sealed to accommodate a short shaft. It is bare graphite/epoxy mix on the outside so I was planning on primering and spraypainting it Camo but you don’t have to. The build thread is on here and the bateau.com forums. Cracker Larry gave me insight when I was building it as he built many bateau.com boats.
It needs a motor and the trailer needs some love. It could use new hubs, tires/wheels and would work great for a few hundred dollars in parts. Or just get a new trailer. Your choice.

The pictures are available as an album on my Facebook page under Chris Rapchick
I will only be in Charleston Oct 15-22.
I spent about $2k building it. I want to gift it to a deserving father/son/daughter who will put a motor on it and take care of it and send me pictures of fishing together. If anyone knows of anyone who would fit that bill, send them my way.
