Renn Tolman in his Jumbo 22 heading out on one of his many trips across Cook Inlet to Kamishak Bay.

Many Tolman Skiffs have been built by amateur and professional boat builders and have acquired a worldwide following.
 They are known for their ability to handle various sea conditions while safely carrying a reasonable load.
  Strong, lightweight, semi-vee, chine flat hull designs, that can be built as an open fisherman, with cuddy or full cabin cruiser
 and customized to the builders needs.  Designed to be powered by the latest generation of four stroke outboard motors,
 this combination gives excellent handling, safety, speed, efficiency and reliability.  Recent increases in fuel prices make
 Tolman Skiffs an excellent choice, some Jumbo builders are reporting averages of 5-6 MPG.

 More information on Tolman Skiff designs and performance is detailed in "Tolman Alaskan Skiffs".

For over 20 years Renn has been designing and building skiffs for commercial and recreational use in Alaskan waters
at his shop, located in Homer, Alaska.  Mr. Tolman does an excellent job of describing his boat building technique using the
stitch and glue plywood, epoxy/fiberglass encapsulation method in a manner that any amateur woodworker can understand.
He details all the steps from jig construction, through a completed skiff that will give you and your family years of reliable service.
Complete schedule of materials and tools needed is included, they are built using common wood working tools and techniques. 





The precision cutting of our parts save many hours of lofting, hand cutting and shaping the parts, not to mention
wasted material from any errors. Parts that require scarfing have scarf's cnc cut and are ready for glue-up.
Parts that require angles have them cut.  All transom parts are cnc'd with angles cut to specifications,
you just glue it up and it is ready to install.  Since our molds are cnc cut the builder is assured a precision aligned hull.
Kits include a cnc cut stringer mold support, this mold interlocks with #6 mold and assures exact stringer placement.
Inner and outer cnc Stringer templates are supplied.  We can make adjustments to fit your needs, i.e.. transom cutouts etc.
We also include email and phone support.

 Major components are available cut from AB Fir Marine Plywood, or BS1088 Okoume Marine Plywood.
