1979 Skiff Craft Hard Top Cruiser

Rosie is a beautiful wooden classic hand built by Skiff Craft in Plain City, Ohio.  With a 3.0 liter Mercruiser, 140 HP engine, the boat has  two fuel tanks that hold 50 total gallons.  

Skiff Craft was founded in 1904.  They created their reputation by building quality wooden boats able to withstand the harsh waters of Canada's lakes and rivers. In 1959, the company relocated to Plain City, Ohio, and was renamed Skiff Craft. There, veteran craftsmen of local Amish and Mennonite communities custom built each exceptional Skiff Craft boat using their time-honored woodworking skills.  

The current owner bought the 26 ft Hard top new in 1979 and has taken meticulous care of the vessel over the years.  Garage kept, the boat comes with an aluminum trailer that has been rigged to carry a Vespa scooter.  Rosie is ready to use immediately and has had many replacements, upgrades and refits.
