Casco Bay Skiffs / Seacraft Molds

[godwinaustin]

I am looking at purchasing an 18' Casco Bay Skiff. They were made in Maine by a company called Americon, which has since gone out of business. Apparently these were quality boats built off a shortened 20' Seacraft hull mold. Does anyone have any info or opinions on these boats?

The Casco Bay is a 1999 model year, and it is a very bare-bones boats. Essentially just the seacraft hull with a console.

Anything would help. thanks so much.

If these are the boats you are refering to, the hull looks nothing like a SeaCraft hull.

Those are the ones. I was told by a couple people that Casco Bay used the 20' seacraft hull mold on at least the 18' model. I am not sure about the others. Here are a couple other pictures...

Well those pictures tell a different story, in fact it def looks like the stepped SeaCraft hull.

It's a rolled edge skiff (no liner), based on the 20' Seacraft. Very utilitarian....

Definitely worth checking out.

Oh yeah, Just because it is based on the Seacraft hull does not mean you should pay top dollar. Use the fact that the company is out of business to your advantage.
