Well, here it is. The most likely heated debate about to begin, but yet is worth all of the opinions. I think we can all keep this civil :) I...
Quick reply. Don't have time at the moment to read the whole thread right now so someone may have already said this:
Looks like I have 2 options when I build my speedboat from Bruce Roberts plans. Single skin or sandwich with foam. What are advantages?
Hi, all. I am wondering about cement scantlings. There are a lot of books on Amazon about cement boat building, but by the title it seems more...
That makes sense! Thanks. The friction part and how a car usues little HP to keep going makes a lot of sense.
Hi, I don't get it. A 20 HP outboard uses 3-4gph. My big Lincoln uses 4gph at 65mph. What gives? Would I be better off with a cheap inboard car...
Hi, All, Sorry I have been away so long. Bad health. We are curious if a pontoon-style houseboat or other "hull-type" houseboat could handle...
Vague... Exact numbers is not what I am after. The 100sqft = 2HP was what I could find on the forum. That's a nice round indicator, but at what...

Thankfully, we got off topic and on to what we are really trying to do. I will make a new thread with a better topic title.
Could a dory handle that sort of superstructure, Par? She wants what seems to be about 75' of boat in less than 50' of length capable of sailing....
Thanks for the pointers. We keep looking for existing boats and I have been on a lot of different designs. I fed the info you all provided here...
What we are after is the ease and low cost of carvel planking but the potection of epoxy. This is why it seems I am confusing the two terms. I...
The study Gotta start somewhere, Par. Remember that you were new at things at one time too and there were less technologies and techniques to...
Well, there seems to be a lot of different opinions out there about the old fashioned strip planking (carvel) and adding epoxy. Studies show that...
Yep. Would LOVE to see photos of a strong tabernacle for a 52' boat. Wasn't able to email you.
