I guess that I'm the outcast here since I like the look of properly proportioned transom sterned boats. I do see some "double enders" that appeal...
Hi Gary, Assuming you are talking about a powerboat, I'll give you my last experience. The cockpit is about 6 1/2' long and about 7 1/2' wide...
Gonzo, Lauan is available in waterproof glue grade if you can find it. I'd use it in preference to occoume if it were readily available....
The easy way to build in a chine flat is to let the side panel overlap the bottom panel and extend to the desired depth. The chine flat is then...
Imprimina, I hope to make it down to (Core Sounder) Sylvia's birthday party with Bob Simpson at the Sanitary this Sunday and would like to to...
:confused: Gary, I misssed out on a lot of math by gazing out the window too much but I think there may be something wrong with the...

I'll bump this back up to the top since no one has ventured an opinion. I really don't know the answer as to whether there is a theoretical...
Most if not all boats experience more pitching motion at the bow than at the stern. This will aeriate and stall the rudder far more easily at the...
Matt, I have built and helped others build several cat ketches with foremast tubes that pierce the forward buoyancy tank. The method I...
Hey, If you only want highly positive replies, I can do that. As I said, she is very pretty. I don't think the rig is complicated or takes up...
Form stability is not just a function of beam. It has much more to do with the lateral movement of the center of buoyancy when the boat is...
Thirty second opinion. Pretty boat. Don''t see point of a double ender except for personal taste. On a small beach cruiser, the double...
I find that on even much smaller projects than those above, the weight seems to creep up. This happens to me near the finishing end of the...
