If you are really talented and have the room, with nothing but a short cable as equipment one can throw an anchor quite a distance... pT1o4K7GdzU
I offered up this idea to a whitewater rafter a while back, who didn't want to carry a lot of weight to go upstream. The advantage going...

I've got a 19ft Pcat that will not be a sailing boat, and thought I'd offer up the dagger boards and rudders to someone wanting to build a custom...
Sure would love to help you. May I suggest you sign up on electric-boat-forum.com and start a thread on your project, and I can answer any questions.
The price of epoxy has not come down at all, will it anytime soon?
Oh I see boatdesign discussions never change... What you might do is build the outriggers to hold up the entire weight, effectively build a...
The practicality is poor building a large boat 1000 miles from the ocean. Particularly when you won''t finish it and selling it unfinished with a...
Right, PLYWOOD requires a lot of preparation to use on a boat, you don't buy a sheet and just install it. Hmm, if only there were a material that...
Yes REALLY. Plywood was already suggested, maybe you don't pay attention?? <removed>

It is a lot more complicated to build, but a catamaran would handle chop much better than a shallow vee. See for example, the livingston boats,...
You would essentially just use a flat sheet over the stringers to give you the smooth bottom. It would increase the weight and is more work than...
I understand that you can use polyurethane glue on EPS (e.g. gorilla glue), which is available at most hardware stores. It is pretty expensive...
I recently made some flat panels using EPS foam. I only used epoxy to glue some thin vinyl sheets to the foam, instead of using epoxy to make...
Did you google fiberglass jon boat plans ? First link has plans for 16ft for $50......
Sounds to me like you need to get some plans! :) Or check the classified ads, gotta be lots of those boats around. Nice longtail mudmotor you...
