palooka Posted February 29, 2020 Report Share Posted February 29, 2020 Like so many here, I have long dreamed of building my own boat, and I decided to try my hand at it alongside the legends from B&B Yachts. I attended their Family Boatbuilding event in Mystic Ct with my sister and had an incredible time working on the Jessy with Graham Byrnes, Alan Stewart, and the entire incredible B&B team. I could only attend 2 of the 3 days and did not get to float the project but we got pretty far. Shortly after the event, I started a new job that demanded a lot more time and travel...and well, you know the rest. Hull is completely assembled with all interior taping and filleting done. Work remaining is minimal: · Install aft seats, foredeck, transom pad for motor, and keel/stringers - all items already CNC cut and fitted. · Glass tape exterior seams and hot coat entire exterior - all material included · Sand and paint Includes folding stands, complete instructions, lofted plans, and two cd’s with progress pictures of example build, and all glass & resin material needed to finish other than paint. Reference Links: Jessy 12' Skiff B&B Family Boatbuilding I would like this to go to a good home and continue the project to be enjoyed as it should and as such just looking for the best offer. Located in Babylon NY and could help transport. -Matt 646.715.6577 mpolletta@gmail.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
palooka Posted March 19, 2020 Author Report Share Posted March 19, 2020 Guess I don't need to bump since this is still at the top, but thought now might be a good time for a project for some! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oyster Posted March 26, 2020 Report Share Posted March 26, 2020 Your location may have something to do with the lack of interest. But the country's situation makes things difficult to travel too, to even consider it and possibly meeting you somewhere close too. So don't be too outdone. I like it and if you were closer it would be a nice project to fill the time away awaiting for things to calm down in the country from the issues of the virus. I have a perfect engine for that boat too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simeikle Posted April 29, 2020 Report Share Posted April 29, 2020 Would love to take this off your hands and spend time finishing her off! Unfortunately am on the other side of the continent! Good luck finding somebody, it would be such a shame to let her go to waste. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
palooka Posted October 1, 2020 Author Report Share Posted October 1, 2020 Bump here for a fall/winter project. Very flexible and open to trade for fishing equipment. Can help deliver in Northeast/Mid-atlantic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chick Ludwig Posted October 3, 2020 Report Share Posted October 3, 2020 I'm too far away, too, in the mountains of North Carolina. How much are you asking for it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
