I agree, your plan does not sound like one for long term success. The boat is 60 years old with the original construction method, do you plan...
Sdowney, ......... for both Eggs & Pacemakers, the plywood was the last "building frame" that was basically just left in & then the mahogany...
[ATTACH] Her ribs are on 7” centers. Yes that is a lot of ribs, but 6-7 inch centers was the norm, so hers are not unusually close. She is a...

I place the new ribs exactly where the old ones came out of and use the same holes in the laps. .. Yes, a bit tedious. [IMG] [IMG] [IMG]...
I have a 70 +/- year old 16 ft lapstrake inboard skiff (Jersey speed skiff) suffering the same problem. ....every rib broken in multiple places...
This thread is a bit dated, but someone brought it back to life a couple of days ago, ... so here goes. Very pretty little hull! and nicely...
As far as potential speed, I would agree this is a displacement speed hull only. She doesn’t have a flat run aft. The way the bottom starts...
I suppose the practicality or functionality may be questionable,..... but I have to say it is "cute as a button!". That's enough to outweigh the...
I would not consider this to be at all definitive. However, I recently heard a recommendation that if you drop the screws on a concrete floor a...
Sort of an interesting thread that I would be interested in joining in, but there is so much cross information and so many generalizations that It...
About 1970 Bayhead boat works of Bayhead NJ splashed a mold off of one of their 31 ft sea skiff hulls and produced a small number of glass...
I hope the construction method works, my 33ft lapstrake Jersey sea skiff is 60 this year. I'd hate to find out it won't work. lol
I also realize this thread is dated, but some of the topic is near and dear to me. The rolled garboard and boxed garboard methods of...
Unfortunately I have to agree that probably in most cases if you have to ask about owning a wooden boat, it may be something that is not for you....
Hmmm, .... I hadn't given any thought to the idea of returning to a true canvas job, that might not be a bad idea. Thanks PAR.
That would make sense, however I think that in this situation the original canvas was filled (like a wood & canvas canoe) to end up with a smooth...
Thank you! I was originally wondering about maybe 6 oz but for some reason had discounted that as maybe to light. As I said, I'd know what I...
Thank you! Thatt is just what I needed, and yes just protective, nothing structural.
I'm not good at selecting fiberglass cloth weight without seeing/feeling it. As the heading says,.... The boat is a 1957, 33ft Jersey sea skiff,...
