Picture thread for 1958 Skagit 20s **1958 only**

[Kelly]

So I'd like to get a thread going that is dedicated to 1958 Skagit 20s.

If I post a picture of your boat and you don't want it there, please just send me a message and I'll remove it. Remember, 58 Skagit 20s are best identified by the aluminum window trim on the cabin and or the hull stripe on the sides.

If you have some old pics please post up. Same boat, different pic...cool!

I'll start it off

David is in Alberta, Canada and we've been in contact on details of his restoration. Has done very nice work on the paint job, cool colors for sure. Keep up the fine work, she looks great !

Here's two pics of my 1958 it's still work in progress, it was missing all the metal trim when I got it . I just acquired two 1956 mercury mark 55 to put on in place of Johnson 135 I have on it currently [ATTACH=CONFIG]14769[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]14770[/ATTACH]

Not sure were you are located (need to update your profile) but we have Doc FrankenMerc in the Shelton Washington area that is still doing Mercs (only).
If you PM me I will give you his email address.
There is a fellow in the Salem Oregon area that is pretty sharp on these too. Bill.....Can't remember his last name but can find him for you.

Cool boat, I recall seeing that for sale a while ago, have you had it a while?

Neat post, Helmar, have to say I've never seen a 20 express with triples on it ! Would guess by the rear crossmember that it came out of the factory as an outboard, close look in person would confirm that.
Yep, previous post is Scotty's offshore after Marty rebuilt it for Bruce Drake, forgot all about that iteration of the boat that became Chuck's Bainbridge. Present owner, unknown.scottylac.jpg

Here is another 58 Skagit.
Not sure who or where this is but I got the picture from John Nelson. Well, wait a minute. This might not be what I think it is..... John ?

Looks as she has a engine bed in her, look at the frame rails.

Nice post, Kelly ! That blue and white with the merc, who's boat is that ?- looks like a fine restoration.... first pic is a test done on Clint's boat to see if a convertible windshield would fit/look good on the express, inspired by Marty testing the same idea. Think the windshield came from Chuck and Marty. Second pic is same boat at previous owner's place in Oregon. About that blue and white ?

Pretty sure that is the boat that Marty did for Bruce Drake.
I think that is Bruce at the helm.

[Kelly]

Bruce I'm fairly certain that boat ended up as Bainbridge. I've seen older post from Chuck that his this very boat on the big trailer he had at his house. Also, it's an offshore, with the same 115 Merc and same wooden bench in the back at the transom. Did someone else have it after Scotty and Chuck bought it from them? There was one picture where you can see Chuck in Rosario in the background so I'm guessing someone else started the restoration on it and Chuck turned it into Bainbridge.

What a beautiful camper, it is a perfect towing vehicle for the boat of this kind, reminds me die-cast toys from the past) I am sure you can find something cool here: https://www.carid.com/boating-marine.html

When I saw that on CL I wondered where the heck did the helm go and where do you drive it from? Cool story, hope it stands true!

[bruceb]

So keeping with Kelly's idea for this thread, found this 58 on CL a few months ago. Believe it was somewhere in Northwest Washington. Curious about this boat because there was a story about a custom built Skagit 20, ordered by a dealer in Wenatchee. The customer was a man named Tiny, who owned the Aplet and Cotlet candy company in Cashmere. Tiny was in fact the opposite of the name and needed a cabin door to allow his entry/exit. Whoever altered this boat in pics spent some time and craftsmanship to make this configuration, and despite the color of the wood, could have been sanded from a factory paint scheme. If it ever comes up on CL again, I'd get in touch and try to see if paperwork on the boat's history is available.00n0n_dKGfft04JIk_600x450.jpg00m0m_91WfOf0RodV_600x450.jpg
