Mississippi River Skiff: Christening

We christened the skiff this weekend and had great fun trying it out with the Johnson 25.
The 1970 Johnson is a little more than is needed to drive the hull (an 8hp would be plenty).
But it is sporty!

We did get a little rowing in and tried rowing one oar per station.  It worked well.  We used the sculling hole with a paddle as a rudder.

Here are some photos and a video:
