This 22′ skiff seems about perfect for most of our needs. She’s easily driven by a modest outboard motor (25–60-hp) and runs flat, smooth, and dry. We’ll spend most of our time in the huge cockpit, and not in the cabin. Yet when we do go below, we’ll find a head and sleeping room for a couple. If we should fall victim to claustrophobia, we’ll simply roll back the cloth housetop and stow its ash battens. The large fixed windows will block the breeze, and we can hunker down on the berths and look up at the sky. What a fine place to enjoy the last light of day.
