Amesbury Dory Workhorse of the famed Grand Banks fisherman, this versatile and seaworthy craft was able to survive nearly everything the Atlantic Ocean could throw at it. As outboard motors became popular, the dories were adapted to accept them but retained all their best seagoing characteristics. Now they are traditional on every shore where rough water is encountered.
Construction is of hand laid fiberglass with a special that makes it rigid and strong. Fiberglass tanks with foam flotation run the entire length on both sides making the boat unsinkable and very stiff even without the seats. Oak rails add to the strength and give years of protection from bumps and scrapes. Standard on all Amesbury Skiffs are: Mahogany Seats, Oak Rails, Two Oar Lock Sockets. Through Bolted Bow Towing Ring. Drain Hole with Plug.

The Amesbury is distinguished by an unusually high freeboard,
a handsome bow and graceful sheer line. It is very much at home
in rough water, yet can be driven to planing speeds with a minimum
horsepower motor. Although the high freeboard makes it a very
dry boat, the dory design allows the rail to be easily pushed
part way down to the waters edge. This made it easy for fishermen
to haul nets and traps aboard. But of equal importance is the
safety factor that someone in the water can haul himself back
aboard without difficulty. This makes the boat ideal for swimming
and skin diving.
