15' Original Peterborough Rowboat

This venerable craft was made for many years by the Peterborough Canoe Company and was used by cottagers, recreational rowers, and fishers and is now available in two sizes.

Lines for this model were taken by Joe Ziemba from an original still in his possession. Its' four seats and two position oarlocks allow for easy trim with varying loads. Straight tracking, easy rowing make it still the finest rowing skiff for recreational rowing and fishing.
