. . . and this is a whimsical fishboat of the same design from Plunger Cove Studio.

I want to talk about the last one as that is the one I can afford to maintain!

Plunger Cove StudioMark Wilkinson of Plunger Cove Studio says it is: 

. . . the home of  whimsical water-craft of all shapes and sizes, created using only the finest in re-claimed and salvaged materials. 

Take a look at the gallery of photos below to see some of his Standard Pieces.

Besides the Standard Pieces Mark also builds models for:

Custom Orders – modeled from photos of the real boat (gallery) I love the Columbia !!!!

Mercury Tug Project – models of the Mercury tugs (gallery)

Other Fun Stuff – models of float planes, sailboats, tug boats, etc (gallery)

See the rest of his galleries on his webpage – Plunger Cove Studio. Enjoy!

PS I even saw a lighthouse in there too!
