If you are looking for a boat that has the classic lines of the "woodys" of the past, the MALAHINI may be the boat for you. Finish her in natural mahogany plywood or paint the hull and put on a mahogany deck. Make her as plain or as fancy as you want.
The generous size of the MALAHINI cockpit and the modular seats that have proven so popular in our other designs, make almost any interior arrangement possible. The seats may be removed to provide a flat area 9' long and up to 5'-9" in width for sleeping or carrying camping gear. The seats can also be placed back-to-back for trolling or for the observer when pulling a water skier.
The generous vee in the forefoot and the wide beam of the MALAHINI make for a dry, safe, boat. The construction is rugged and intended to "take it". The self-bailing well prevents any sudden wave or back wash from entering the boat. All of the construction details have been prepared for the amateur builder. Step-by-step instructions, plus photos, make it possible to have your own collector's boat at a price you can afford.
