Pelicano 23 Bassboat
Designed by Sam Devlin
A 22 ft 9 in trailerable outboard boat by Sam Devlin, the cabin version of the Pelicano 23, which also comes as a Center Console and a Shrimper on the same hull. The Bassboat pairs good cockpit seating with a cabin for overnight trips. Beam is 8 ft 5 in, draft about 12.6 in loaded, 2,300 lb dry with engine and battery, and the page lists a 150 hp outboard.
Stitch and glue over eight bulkheads and two longitudinals, with scarfed panels, a second plywood layer laminated onto the bottom and two layers of cloth in epoxy. The designer's own figure is 700 to 900 hours of labor and about $5,500 in materials without the engine. The medians below come from builders who logged this boat here.
What building a Pelicano 23 Bassboat 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.
