Originally built as a center cockpit by Ellis Boats, ‘Puffin’ was rebuilt in 1999 and converted into an open express by Desert Boat Company. Work included design and construction of forward cabin, windshield and cockpit; installation of fresh water system; new electrical system and electronics, gauges and steering sytem. Carefully maintained and stored indoors. (2019) care included electronics upgrades and professionally stripping and varnishing exterior wood, coamings, cabin sides, sheer/toe rail and hatch. ‘Puffin’ is a unique classic and must be seen to appreciate the details.
