I built this Pinguino from start to finish. This special boat has a layer of walnut veneer added to the plywood to give it a unique look, and the cockpit coaming lip is made from solid myrtle. It has a custom seat, recessed deck fittings, footbrace studs, bulkheads, and strapless hatches.
Length: 15 feet
Beam: 23.7 inches
Weight: 36 lbs.
