My cool little dive boat

[Eastwest]

I drove from Van Nuys to Tacoma which is next to Canada to buy this jewel . Heavy duty and commercial has always appealed to me so this 19 foot Workskiff was my final choice . Quarter inch 5086 aluminum is pretty beefy for such a small boat . Taking Inspiration from Mexican Baja pangas my power was a Yamaha 75 Enduro a no battery rope pull . She has been sitting and will now be back for duty . I think after 27 years with not a lick of problem it is time for a new motor .
So to purchase a new motor and ship it from Florida to Sylmar is my solution . Good life and easy boating .

PNW royalty, Dawg. I fish out of Astoria most summers and there are a lot of Hewes in the guide fleet.

Getting out is the easy part....just lean back and gravity does the rest..

BTW...... That a bad-ass work skiff. .25in 5086 aluminum is crazy tough.
