I have been considering a scull boat in the next year or two. Something a little more unique and old school. I know there are some closet scullers here on the board and a few newer guys that have been giving it a try as well. I am looking for a 2 man float so that I can give this a try with my son.
I saw Dave Sikorski had his Merrymeeting style scull for sale a little while ago. Then Chris Finch just posted the story of his sculling success in his new to him boat, which I believe was a Whitney style float (Seacoast gunning float). Are those two boats pretty much my only options for a 2 man boat?
I am looking for something that I can row with oars and then lay down and take over with the sculling oar. I am not really looking for something to put a motor on.
My son will soon be old enough to run his own boat after taking his boater's safety certificate. I am hoping that we could possibly downsize our current rig and maybe get into two BBSBs and then have a scull boat, plus the kayaks for other fun spots. That is why we need a fleet of boats I guess. To hunt all different types of water in different styles.
Anyway, please share with me what you can about what specific floats I should be looking at/for to enjoy this sport with my growing son.
I am not opposed to building one either. I have looked into the plans for the Merrymeeting style float as well as the Scullduggery and Scullduggery II.
I read some advise that suggested it might be better to try some boats before you get into building one on your own. The suggestion was based on having an understanding of the craft before you step into building one. The advise seemed to have some merit.
Thanks in advance.
