Building a Small Boat

so thats 12 weeks away ...how are you going with the planning stage ???
Are your ideas comming together and what type of construction are you using?

 

My dear friend, that was the best rep. point I was ever given here!
Does it really matter one or ten? You did that because you liked to do it for long. And I know you would express to say thank you for all the assistance (and patience?). As such I see it, and as such it is worth more than 20 points from somebody just spreading some around and thinking I am not sooo nasty.

Thanks
Richard

 

Have you started allready? Get back to your thread and tell if there's any progress or delays.. no matter what we'd like know

 

I think he is the one that drown in a farm pond,late at night, when the boat broke up.I maybe wrong.

 

Where ???

 

I heard about it on my local news.It was a repcap of what was supposedly said on the national news.I never caught where the accident took place.Not sure they even said.

 

Could you please do some recherche?

Regards
Richard

ben2go:
if that is the incident you heard, it was Shelby, North Carolina; the victims are named and are not Michael Griffin.

 

That's not it.That happened about 30 minutes from my area.I have been looking through my local news website but I can't find the report there.

 

Please try harder.

I'm back now though.

 

Hi, mgriffin,
A friend of mine built a large plywood riverboat with the squarish angles similar to your march design. He enjoyed using it but it was hard to maneuver. He propelled it with a Briggs and Stratton motor moving a paddlewheel. It was very unusual and happened back in the early 1970's.

 

Whats up? I think I just found the boat of ALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL of my dreams about boats.

I am going to build a 16 foot version though, using only two 8 foot by four foot sections, the back half being the pusher, front half being the cargo or passenger half.
This is the best way I can describe to you what my boat will look like:

 

That is not half bad! Any lakes nearby?
