Not mine, just saw it on CL. I've seen other pics of it with helm pics...it's definitely loaded with stuff.
I do like the twin Mercs on it, keeping the original idea with new outboards.

Known as the Taylor Skagit. This boat was first discovered by club members 15 years ago near Lakebay, Pierce County and became a donation to a charity. The new owner was the person who restored it and think is also selling at this time. Was restored in SoCal for ocean fishing. The redundancy of the twins being a real great idea for her mission. Towed to Washington and shown at the LaC boat show in 2008 or 2009 ? It's been listed on eBay, Fiberglassics, have no idea why it hasn't been sold, nice boat !

I suppose the cabin front window was glassed over to keep it from being blown out by ocean waves, but it didn't help the looks of the boat any.

Yes, Stan, definitely a design tweak that owner's utilize to make a safer boat for heavy water. Have seen a few Skagits altered this way. The unrestored 31 Saratogan owned by Tim Jones had this done by the previous owner. Not very attractive, as the front windows are a design feature that ties with the overall vintage look- certainly applies to Bell Boys, Dorsetts, Sabrecrafts, and pretty much all classic wood and glass cruisers. Once found a Skagit in Amsterdam with all windows, hatch, glassed over !
So this particular Skagit for sale is, upon real close inspection, sporting maybe a white canvas cover over that front windshield. Anyone else see that ?

It was at one time for sale in Arizona for $9500. Not sure if it changed hands but it has changed trailers at some point.
Upon closer inspection the windows appear glassed over.

Price dramatically dropped to $6500...

Oh and wonder no more regarding the front windows as the pics were updated in the ad.
