Ocracoke 256
Designed by Graham Byrnes
A Carolina style outboard sportfisherman by Graham Byrnes of B&B Yacht Designs, released in October 2015. It is 25 ft 6 in on deck and 27 ft 11 in including the integral plywood bracket, with a trailerable 8 ft 6 in beam, 16 degrees of deadrise, about 2,700 lb dry without engines and a 300 hp maximum. One owner reported 40 knots with 200 hp. It can be built open with a raised casting platform or as a cuddy with two 84 in bunks.
The hull is planked over a jig, and B&B says it developed every detail of the construction with the home builder in mind. Earlier building experience is strongly advisable. Expect 2,500 to 4,000 hours as a rough guide. Measured medians from build logs appear below.
What building a Ocracoke 256 actually takes
Medians from the build logs kept on this site, not the designer’s estimate. Nobody has logged this boat here yet, so they are empty until the first builder does.
Those medians firm up as more people log this boat.
