18′ GERONIMO –  WEST POINTER SKIFF

Length: 18’
Beam: 7’ 3”
Draft: 7” with outboard up
Displacement: 1,100 lbs.
Power: 50 hp
Designer & Builder: Alton Wallace
Construction: Strip-planked hull
Usual location: Either on mooring or dockside

Comments: This particular boat was the last West Point Skiff that Alton built and it was donated to WoodenBoat School in 2007. Alumni of the school, along with our shop staff, completely renovated the interior and also added new decks, coamings, and rails over the next two years. The flat bottom aft and the V bottom forward make for a comfortable ride in all sea conditions. The 50-hp motor can push this hull at 25 knots when necessary.
