Aluminum Boat Design Services & NC Kits
#480, 17' x 6'6"
Lineage:
The first of these was built by Viking Welding as a lobster boat, thus the widened port gunwale, and it was configured for tiller steering. Subsequent relatives have been built with skinnier gunwales and side or center consoles by Winninghoff Boats and others. Additionally, some customers have had us delete the raised forward coaming. It trims and runs well with a person at the tiller and a decent load on deck, or with the natural loading of a center/side console layout. Outboards have been in the 10 to 90 hp range.
