I'm not going to get fussy on any of it, see the crude butt block instead of a scarf or splice. That said, I do need to cover the bottom with...
Two questions: 1) What is penetrating epoxy good for? I was going to use it on all bare plywood before painting, and on any bare wood I wanted...
Great idea, will do. Very hard to find teak here, what clear lumber would you use instead? There is some exposed ply on the edges of the side...
We've had a lot of rain, so I haven't made great progress, but things are moving along. I made the side decks and supported them from...
2/3 of the sole is glued down, foam filled under, with plastic sheathing, limber holes, inspection plate in bulkhead. Next I'll do bow deck and...

I used the scribing method, but joggles sticks certainly are interesting. I made some progress, the cleats are in except for right down the middle...
Small world indeed. I grew up in Ithaca, went to Cornell (class of '89). Moved to the SF Bay area which is where I went from being really into...
I'm doing something similar with a 23' Kells shoal keel sailboat. It'll have a large open cockpit with a smaller cabin for slow cruising. It'll...
Started the stringers and egg crate structure. It's a lot of guess and check to get the pieces to fit the curves. I'm using scrap ply to mock it...
Went to Noah's and got the wood, 17 sheets of Meranti, plus lots of epoxy and glass. They have good prices, and there's no tax because it comes...
Very professional looking boat!
The previous owner of my boat felt so bad about the project he unwittingly gave me that he gifted me an Evinrude 9.9 long shaft. It's an older...
I don't know much about displacement motoring. Questions: 1) Prop depth: How far below the bottom of the transom should the cavitation plate...
