Pygmy Pinguino 150 Pro - Hull #25

I built this Pinguino from start to finish. This special boat has a layer of walnut veneer added to the plywood to give it a unique look, and the cockpit coaming lip is made from solid myrtle. It has a custom seat, recessed deck fittings, footbrace studs, bulkheads, and strapless hatches.


Length:  15 feet
Beam:  23.7 inches
