Where this beach is, there's no boat launches for many miles north and south. Literally an hour's drive either direction to a suitable proper boat...

I've had this idea burbling around in my head for about a year that the Pacific City dory needs an update, and there's only a few people who want...
I see what you're saying Alan, that's a very interesting way to think about it. I'll be putting in a pair of fish boxes that will give...
I wish it were a radius issue, but it's an extremely uneven flat surface. E
I'm looking for plan B right now, so ignore the fiber tech panels. What would one do with a solid glass transom of about 3/8" thick hand laid...

So here I sit trying to figure out how I'm going to build out my cabin roof. Thought I'd come to the pros to see what ideas they might have....
Permanent items aren't going to work as the area of stuck-ness is around 30 acres. I will see if I can get someone to finance the marking of the...

Guys, Im all ears if you have any ideas or solutions to the problem. Im no designer, Im just a fireman with a boat building habit. E
Hoping some of you designer-types can have a look at her and let me know your thoughts. This is a quickie eyeball and masking tape job of...
