Maine Merrymeeting Sculler

Shep · 08-12-2007, 03:42 PM

My buddy, Porter gifted me with his old Merrymeeting Gunning Float and she's now ready to go gunning again. I replaced the top rail a few weeks ago and I spent the last few days prepping the surfaces and getting a couple coats of Parker Marsh Grass on her. She's all numbered up and ready to roll.
I've picked up 8 of the 4 by 4 palm grass mats to make it a little stealth-ier.

That 4 horse 4 stroke Yamaha will push it along pretty quick.

She's a 16 footer and must be somewhere around 40 inches wide. That's not the width of the ****pit but the width of the hull.
