Boat itis affliction I see. I have the same issue. Though one of mine is 9000lbs and isnt road legal. So that limits my cruising range.

That is a nice boat. I would love something like that to cruse around Duxbury Bay.
I bought it from a guy in Duxbury about 5 years ago. It was made in Plymouth. Check out Ladybug Boats.

Lady Bug has impressive build specs.


Construction
LadyBug Boats are constructed along the lines of the original Brockway Skiff. Lady Bug Boats, however, are built using modern materials and technology for a more durable hull and finish. LadyBug Boats are designed and constructed to withstand the rough service and to meet the demands of the commercial fisherman.
The stem is machined from 4×4 fir stock. The transom is two ¾” AC Exterior Grade Plywood laminated with West Epoxy and screwed together plus a 3/4” motor pad in the middle for added engine support. Transom is framed with 2×4 select lumber hemlock or pine. Mid frames are same 2×4 doubled on bottom and sandwiched with 3/4” plywood and 3/4″ gussets secured with resin glue and screws Hullsides are 1/2” AC exterior grade plywood butt spliced with 12”x3/4” plywood joints screwed and glued with West Epoxy.
Chine block is 1”x4” pine secured to hullsides with West Epoxy. Bottom is 3/4” AC exterior grade plywood secured with 3M 5200 Marine Adhesive and screws. The hull bottom is reinforced with three 2”x6” strakes running the full length of the bottom. Endgrain edge of bottom plywood is capped with strip secured with staples and West Epoxy.
Rail is 2”x6” hemlock and secured to hullsides with West Epoxy and screws. All exposed wood is sealed with Clear Sealer. Bottom is coated with one coat of Pettit Unepoxy Bottom Paint, Interior is coated with two coats of Interlux Bilgecoat Enamel.
Hullsides are primed with 2 coats of Pettit White Undercoater followed up with 2 coats Easypoxy Polyurethane Paint. Rails are finished with 2 Coats Easypoxy Polyurethane Paint. All fasteners are Deck Mate Corrosion Resistant screws.

Here's ours after wrapping up an afternoon on the lake.

This is really cool! What kind of rack is this, and if you made it care to share how and where it mounts and stuff? I'm looking for a way to carry my boat out to school, but its not as simple as folding the roof down and throwing the boat on top when you live four hours away, sometimes it gets cold haha. Really looking to avoid a roof rack because they're expensive and they get in the way of folding the windshield. Other ideas are welcome, this thread is really cool, tons of sweet pictures on here!

Just picked up this Old Town Guide 147 for a good deal on Craigslist, this was from hauling it home. Looking forward to getting it on the water soon.
