Skagit 20 - Alaskan Bulkhead

[Kelly]

Any updates to this project??

[Skagit Hideaway]

Everything marine has been on hold and kept dry for a while since we moved to Spokane. My Dad became ill and passed in April 2018. I've been busy sorting through the incredible amount of "treasure" that he inherited from my late elder brother back in 2016 and passed on to me. Hoarders.

I set up a bit of a machine shop in the basement and have been preparing a decently equipped work area in the back yard where I'll finish the Skagit project up, starting in the Spring.

I just hauled it down to the local marine dealer this last week for an appraisal, needed for the screwy title transfer. $500. That's OK.

I've decided to scrap the Alaskan Bulkhead cabin and go with an original type curved windshield and an arched "mini-tower" of sorts, over the cockpit, with canvas in between and to the stern, optionally. That will support the electronic gadgets and save some weight.

Sorry to hear about your father. Glad to know you're still around and continuing with the Skagit build.

I know Hording.....I need to start letting stuff go here too.
Mine has the hard top and I just used canvas that I can roll up or take down. Works well for me. 1959skagitoffshore.jpg
