Pygmy Coho - Hull #2

I built this Pygmy Coho for a customer in Seattle.  This boat was partially built by the customer until he gave up building it because he was worried it wasn't going to turn out well.  It was in very rough shape and I had to to major "corrective construction" on it. I completed construction and varnished the boat for him.

Length:  17 feet 6 inches
Beam:  23 inches
Weight: 39 lbs.
