Renewal of the Skiff
Using historic precedence and in a cost saving exercise we set up our own boat yard on Dewees recently.
After 8 years the supply skiff ( Sea Ark) for the island needed renovation .
Corrosion had affected the keel and it needed to be replaced.
Dewees Staff Ryan , Robbie and Terry grind down the boat to get to good metal for welding .
The boat is currently off the island after being re-welded at a total cost for the project of $1537 . Saving the POA $8,463 over the cost of a new commercial Sea-Ark.
We will repaint the boat when we receive the paint shipment, then the boat should be good for another 8 years.
