Talk about a blast from the past! Did you check out those prices, Ken?! Of course the dollar had a different value back then, but still. :blink:

There was a small homemade skiff just like that in a Popular Science or Mech. mag form the lat 50's. Was built buy some bay fishermen to use in the flats of the Texas Gulf Coast.

I will try to find the article and picture. As I have a large collection of those old mags.
