Pritchard notes "We will be using these small boats for booming and anchoring duties in less than ideal conditions. They are well built, very stable, and they like the 115 hp four-stroke combination we have powered them with. The 19 appears to be the perfect tool for the job". Work- skiff's Leslie Smith adds; "When we can help make our customers work safer and smarter, we have fulfilled our mission.
We are honored to serve SEAPRO and the entire spill response community."
Workskiff 19 ft. specifications: Work- skiff uses only marine grade 5086 alu- minum.
