These pictures document the construction of Phil Bolger's design number 606 "Clam Skiff" for my brother.
Philip Bolger was a giant in American marine design. You can find out more about him here: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phil_Bolger
The boat is 18 feet long and 5 feet 3-inches wide. It can be powered by outboards up to 40hp according to the plans, though 15-20hp seems optimal and a 9.9 will suffice.
I built it of marine plywood encapsulated in epoxy and fiberglass. This was my second boat construction project.
