I don’t know why but every time I see a 10’ Schiada it puts a smile on my face.. I was down at Barrett dropping off my Hallett today and these were there. :)

I just picked this one up...Not in love with the color scheme but im gonna give it a shot. View attachment 1231170
Congrats Your new to me mini has some stories. I bought it from a guy in Grants Pass Oregon then shipped it to Alaska probably 30 years ago. My kids learned to waterski behind that boat. A buddy finally talked me into selling it to him. He later sold it to Nord who shipped it to Ca.

on a side note........nordic has a 10-12'(now known to be 15') mold from hallett that has a part in it, might be a good time to nab it.......just sitting in the mold, never popped....cat mold.......it is bonded and gelled on the inside........pop and rig

If I could get my hands on a 12 mini it would be fun to try it on Arrowhead. Can’t do a 10, the minimum boat length has to be 12 (must be a new rule).

I called a couple years ago about that one. Was told they have no interest in building it and won't sell and are just going to let it sit.

Was it you or someone you know that built a wood mini Schiada? Or am I thinking of someone else?

might be the last time the minnie thread surfaced........i posted pics of the part in the mold saying it was avail

new management......everything can be done, even building the 27, gasp, the horror 🙄

@RiverDave lets build an updated 27....said something to ron, show what we can do for the brand, instead of just letting it stop where it was

My Mini project I'm building for my Baby Boy. It's a 12' Daytona. My son's name is Rayson. This is going to be the 'Raytona Daytona'

Already had his Mama cleaning boat parts

i have seen the mold with a part in it, fully finished on the inside, but that is it..........splatter coat, bonded, and in the mold............that is all i know
i have posted pics before, but if pressured, i can take more.........
Take more pics, damn it!


And I retract my earlier statement about bad thinking it’s blue.
I did a little boat hull at Hallett but it wasn’t a cat.

What will a mini set you back ?
A clean Schiada 18-20k from what others who have them have told me.

To have a new Biel built is 35-40k.

Twisted Liquid is out of the business.

These are nice and all to show off, but a small RIB boat would be a blast mashing around without gel coat issues.

Like the ones that Rubba Duck Safari uses....
