Frankie designed the Skreem. This was during the time Savage was giving me boats, or more specifically, Frankie was keeping me in boats. Most of what I know about boat design was from Frankie taking me around the Outdoor Retailer show one year and explaining every design feature of every boat and what it was supposed to do, and if it was actually going to work. Frankie was a genius when it came to boat design.

Joel, I had no idea Frankie designed the Skreem. I've had one tucked away in my garage for a few years. It must be one of the only non-edged boats he designed. Its very fast and is also very user-friendly. I can see where it would make a good C-1. By the way, I also have a Savage Maniac which I take out whenever I want to give my knees a break. Don't suppose he came up with this one, too, did he?

can we get a list of all the boats he designed? anyone?

Except for Mad River I think all of the major Canoe company at one time or another have done one of his boats.

By looking through the boat database ("Search Boats" in the upper left) you'll see the designer listed for most of the boats...if there are ones without a designer (or any other data) listed that you KNOW for a fact the details, PLEASE e-mail me! (info@cboats.net).
