12-ft Vermont Packboats

 

      This photo was taken by one of our customers on Moose Pond in the Adirondacks. Usually we show smaller, faster loading photos ....but this was so pretty we thought it worth the extra pixels.

 

 

 
      The Vermont Packboat is light, fast, safe, sea-worthy and easy to row. It is similar to our Adirondack guideboat....but smaller and with hard-chines. (Chines are creases or corners installed in the hull the make the boat more stable than it would be otherwise.)  The Packboat is light enough for most women to carry, solo fishermen can easily carry the boat into wilderness lakes. It has 3 seats and will carry one good-sized adult, or two medium sized adults or one adult and one or two smallish children. Recommended carrying capacity 300 lbs +/-

 

 

 
       The Packboat has a unique hull shape. As a rule, flat bottomed boats are stable (but hard to move through the water), round bottomed boats are fast (but difficult to keep upright.) This boat has rounded aspects, flat aspects and angled aspects, all of which combine to produce a fast, seaworthy boat.
     
     
   

 
 
 

This is a civilized 'ladies boat.' 

 

    

  Or a boat ready to take on Puget Sound in gale-force winds.     

 

    

     We build these boats in the sequence in which orders are received. Depending on the season, we may have the boat you want in stock, or the wait may be 2 or 3 months. We ask for a 50% deposit when you place your order. The balance is due when we finish working on your boat. (If you would like us to hold delivery till spring, we are happy to oblige. However, we will still require payment when we finish working on your boat.) Order early, plan ahead.

     If you would like to order one of these lovely boats, please call us at 802.425.3926 . . .or to e-mail us, click here.  We prefer personal checks....but we also accept Visa/ MC/AMEX/Disc.
