Marine News, August 2005

<BODY> <div> 10 • MarineNews • August, 2005 NEWS Pritchard notes "We will be using these small boats for booming and anchoring duties in less than ideal conditions. They are well built, very stable, and they like the 115 hp four-stroke combination we have powered them with. The 19 appears to be the perfect tool for the job". Work- skiff's Leslie Smith adds; "When we can help make our customers work safer and smarter, we have fulfilled our mission. We are honored to serve SEAPRO and the entire spill response community." Workskiff 19 ft. specifications: Work- skiff uses only marine grade 5086 alu- minum. Length, 19 ft. beam 93 in.; mid- ship depth 44 in.; side height 37 in.; Full- depth longitudinal girders are used in an integrated foam-filled double bottom con- struction. A 6 ft. wide self-bailing aft deck and twin 30-gallon fuel tanks are stan- dard. Like all Workskiff boats, the 19 ft. model is unsinkable and trailerable.
