Well Phil, you revived the thought with practicality. Let's say we tow a 16' canoe. Put a deck on the old canoe and waterproof canvas as a skirt,...
It's because the dream has not met reality yet. Designing your own off shore cruiser, reality is that you're putting your life and perhaps...
Got it guys, thank you, it's not a great idea to have a big trailer! I have an inflatable, I'll use that! Okay, the smaller build will be for...
Consideration is being given to towing a small (15-18'x 4') flat bottom skiff or jon boat behind a 23'-28' sail boat under power or sail. Rivers,...
You'll need a hard hull for a deep v and your inflatable should be more like a flotation collar, the style of boat you want sounds more like a...
Well, my shop is basic hand tools, table saw, skill, jig, reciprocal saws, compound miter, drills, sanders, levels, etc. I also have some air...
Thanks PAR, I received the drawings and from what I do understand of them they are unique for a smaller craft. I do love curves but I'm concerned...
All good ones, Socialb, lots of choices, but back to the original SOR, easy quick build, self righting, not sure about that one for a motor...
I don't think there is any rocker midway to a power cat, flat would be more efficient and stable for a planing hull. The reverse bow may look cool...
Thank you Socialb, yes, that fits the bill alright! The recommended 30 hp is more than I wanted to go, I'd like to see that cabin go aft a little...
You might consider corrugated plastic sheets over a wood frame, easy to bend and well braced it's tough stuff. Might get it free from a bar...
LOL, then this sets me back years, my initial thought was wanting to do the Great Loop and take my motorcycle for local touring. Some may...
Well, I set a time for myself to make up my mind, I think I have it. It was mentioned that for my first build I should build the dingy to my...
And I would agree, until Paul expressed concerns about Digger, it's a good looking boat and probably in the realm of my skill level. LOL :cool:
Hi NZboy, yes that L-19 is very much along the lines of what we need, I've been through the Glen-L site and I didn't find any dory or sharpie or...
Thanks PAR, That site has the largest inventory for one designer I've seen I think and I see what you mean, they also have the shortest...
Yes, I know of the TN and the ID and the WY, all great but too big! I'll search for the T35 and I've seen that side wheeler in the gallery, hey,...
Fred, that's a great option and I like that for this boat. The Honda seems to be quieter than others but they are rather loud. When I was a kid we...
Yes, I read the entire thread and I'd not try that. Problem is Bolger has so many designs that like, I'll try to take into consideration my saw...
WOW, let me say that again.......WOW! If that doesn't scream river camp cruiser I don't what does. :)) I did look it up and was directed right...
