LOL! That would be a little overkill for a 10-20 hp OB. I have to remember to put Lambo doors on the cabin. :)
Yes Fred, such as the canal boats, I do like those and an arched top could be adapted to a Garvey. I prefer a pilot house style, but I'm not dead...
I'm speechless. From a 14' wide houseboat and hauling with a pickup truck, anyway, even a free steel boat isn't cheap to keep or use. I can tell...
Well, that was the thought yesterday, :idea: after sleeping on it I see the light. It would take a very heavily built cabin to support those...
Come on Gonzo, the bullet proof stuff is just an added benefit, it's not a primary concern, it's the size and weight primarily, structural glass...
Yes, I know, I appreciate your advice Gonzo. Sometimes kids play with guns, all they want to do is bust your windows. If you have a really bad...
I'd really like to use some commercial windows i have on a garvey build. The windows are bullet proof out of a bank remodel and they are 50x40...
Well, good stuff PAR, I agree, however the only reason I'm armed is because they are, so in that, kill them all and let God sort them out. You...
Thanks for the tip! Haven't been out in 5 years now, but we use to cruise the Table Rock lake on New Year's Day, had the whole lake to...
Go to the landfill when they are hauling it off, you can drive behind them. Public landfills will usually allow people to salvage trash, lots...
#2 milk bottles or other #2 recyclable plastic containers can be welded as well. Lay in as strips and build to form whatever. What do you...
Must admit, I've never worked with fiberglass except for small repairs on cars when I was much younger. I also thought the cost would be much...
Thanks for the suggestion, while I'm sure that would cure the issue I don't think the cost would be light for the boat or to the wallet. With that...
Okay, in the back yard is a 16 foot Coleman canoe (floating tank) made with Ram X material. It is very heavily built and has been sailed. The...
Just saw this, talk about late to the party! That reminds of of the "Big Daddy" turned out by Jack's Plastic Welding, they make inflatable tubes....
Thank you PAR! Really appreciate your contributions and expertise! I'll not do a water fill test, but will inspect closely as you described, with...
Thank you! That's exactly what I had in mind. Nope, I'm in SW Missouri. I spent some time on the Tinboat site and feel a lot better about an old...
LOL, fill it like a bath tub, maybe dive in, LOL......no, I just meant to the water line, I'm not concerned so much about a leak above the WL....
Looking at a 16' ,'74 Lowel Aluminum boat on a trade. Never had a metal boat, my understanding is that old aluminum leaks due to age, not sure...
Thermal bridging is eliminated by not having interior and exterior walls touching, this is done with a wider wall plate and off set wall studs for...
