Bad News

...............or a packing case! But hell as long as it floats, and gets you where you want it has credit! No matter how it looks. 'cause if it looks pretty that's a bonus!!

 

Manie, Do you have any plans for that boat that you built. May be a plywood box, but one I think I would like to build one like it. Long as it will hold three people and gear, good by me (no oceans in indiana, just lakes) Looks to be easy to fish out of too.

Lemme know if ya do. Thanks

 

i think that long outboard handle, is to make up for the owners "short comings" hehe

 

was wondering who would hit on that first, should've known it would be jim....

 

Even if that's part of the agenda, Manie's getting his compensation with his own efforts. Lots of fools spend hundreds of thousands, sometimes millions, on Magnums 'n Cigarettes 'n Fountains to make up for their own "short comings." That's a real laugh.

 

What? You mean that my $1,000,000 ***** extension is not cool? The chicks with the fake bits love it... Must admit its getting abit rough to run it, the damn thing sucks fuel like chicks with fake bits suck money but gawd I look good in it! FIGJAM

 

Manie,

We all do what we can, the important thing is never quit; keep doing whatever we can. Your small stitch and glue gave you an education and some good times on the water. Not a bad result for a build of any size! What you've stated as goals for your next sounds firmly in the tradition of microcruisers. It's intriguing how many ways there are to design a small boat that's simple (which doesn't always mean easy) to build. Here's some more suggestions for you and Dragonjbynight:

There's a certain symmetry and poetic justice there ...

Thats why i DONT NEED A BIG BOAT and that at 55 go figure hey hey

Dragon I am busy redrawing the drawings for the original boat with more and better offsets and to correct small mistakes that i picked up. should be ready in 2 weeks and will definately post them here.
