Petty Skiffs is in active development the SeaDog line and plans to launch them in 2013. The SeaDog is a dory/skiff combining the classic profile and character of the New England "Banks Dory" with the lower cost production fiberglass hull of a traditional Carolina work Skiff. This unique design melds the two traditions, creating a "go fast" dory/skiff for the outdoorsman, fisherman or netter who wants a less expensive, working boat that can be left outside, in the water and will need less care and protection.
