Cute little cracker, at first I thought you were saying it was a Barron (meaning nick barron) but figured it out quick, Thats a nice little JS (Jersey Speed Skiff) #55 I was thinking that boat was blue and white in its past life.. JS class was 283 or 305ci Nice little boat but I never felt good in a 16' skiff.. Cool Ride BE SAFE! The hull and racing depends what part of the country your at, Known as a cracker box cigar box rum runner skiff and jersey skiff etc... the original 55 has alot of history here is a cool little link for it.
