Hello all. In process of possibly
purchasing a 55’ Skookum named ‘Icarus’.
Current owner is 4th
Says this was built in the Skookum yard in WA.
Also says it’s an Ed Monk Sr design.
Going to look at it this weekend, and needing
advice.
Love the idea these were built like
tanks, but are they maneuverable as far as a large vessel? How will I know if it is a Monk SAR design? What are the concerns I should look for in a longer Skookum or Skookum in general.
I have owned larger houseboats and longer cruisers but my first larger sail.
Any and all advise would be helpful
