When I first saw WoodenBoat Magazine’s boat design competition to design a modern wooden runabout, I was very excited. I’m sure most of the other competitors in this competition feel the same way.
The Mini Vee is a simple-to-build v-bottom racing boat designed for APBA Mini GT and GT Pro racing. Also an excellent high-performance boat for the non-racer and a great boat building project for an individual or the whole family.
The Pro Tunnel is an outboard racing tunnelboat designed for APBA class GT Pro, but also makes an excellent small high-performance boat for the non-racer, and a great individual or family building project.The Pro Tunnel is capable of 50mph+ with recommended power.
LYS stands for Lumber Yard Skiff. These rugged flat bottom work skiffs were originally designed to be built using materials readily found in most lumber yards- underlayment plywood and spruce framing.
The drawing board of Sam Devlin has created another winner. The Pelicano Shrimper is an excellent choice for anyone who wants to maximize practicality in an 18' 4" package. The design has a small cabin forward, with enough space for a v-berth for the occasional overnight.

Beautiful 8 ft mahogany runabout with electric power. Great for children but will accommodate adult(s).
Digger 17 is a classic form of flats skiff, seen working along every shore. Designed for modest power, she can get into the shallowest water and carry a hefty load.
SILVER 333 is a very small classical runabout for one or two people which may easily be transported on top of a mid-size car roof.
