I realized that this site is not for transmission modificaiton but 99.99% of all boats do have transmissions. Recently I was made aware that an old 2-speed...
The places to look for info on modifying an old Powerglide are probably the groups for racing boats. To use one in a boat you'd want to install a thrust ...
Yes indeed, This would be an ideal sort of engine for a couple of boats that I dream about building someday. Thanks for bringing these engines to our...
After taking a breather I'm back at it. There are only about this many more to go before I'm done! Barrie - 25' 7" Canoe-Stern Knockabout Barrie Anne - 26' 4"...
There is a MoToR BoaTinG book from 1925 containing Atkin plans for sale at ABE that doesn't seem to be mentioned on your weblist, John. It's called: The Dingy...
That book was reissued by the Atkins as The Small Boat Book (I think because somebody else had written another "Dinghy Book" in the meantime) in 1984, and...
Hi, I'm new to this group and curious if any of the members own an Eric Junior, I have one, fiberglass, in need of repair. Am trying to perservere and to see...
Welcome aboard Tilikum. I met you a few years ago during the Wooden Boat Festival, when my little green sailing skiff, Pickle, was moored right in front of...
I haven't been back here for a while since I posted regarding tenders back in May. Thanks for the feedback; I'm open to more! That project got pushed back...
I've admired the skiff 'Ration' for a number of years and might be coming up on a period of time when I can do something about it. I'd like to build with...

There's a photo of Robb White's bastardization (his word for it) of Rescue Minor, and a link to some more photos: http://www.robbwhite.com/rescue.minor.html ...
I must disagree with you. I think the stern treatment on Robb's Rescue Minor (very Chris Craft "Barrel-Back" inspired) looks very good indeed. From the lines...
Thanks John, Its all personal taste, but I do think Robb has improved the asthetics of the Rescue Minor design by modifying the stern to a "Barrel-Back" shape....
Hi, I wrote a week or so ago. Thank you John for your reply. I do remember meeting you and have enjoyed your fabulous web site since then. Thank you also for...
In a world of plastic mass produced homogenized boats it is nice to see a distinctive boat with individual style. If any of us ever saw Robb Whites's barrel ...

Well, I guess I stumbled on a way to get people to contribute to this list! ;o) It is my personal opinion, but I think Robb White's stern doesn't go well with...
That's a beautiful boat Scott! You could go anywhere in the world in her. What design are you using for your "baby tender"? The designer of my sailing skiff,...
They've found us! :o( I've reluctantly changed the settings of the group so new members have their postings moderated, that should keep the spammers away. It's...
Ration has a lightweight, longitudinally planked bottom with batten seams, hence the multitude of full frames (a dory bottom would be thick, with the boat...
John, Yes, I'm building the Jordan "Baby Tender" (as in #1 in lapstrake, as opposed to #2). At the slow rate of progress, half of me wishes I were building a...
Hello all, I'm new to the group and live on North Carolina's Outer Banks. Where is this boat for sale? Greg Ball GIS Coordinator Dare County, NC (252) 475-5831...
Tilikum's Eric, Jr. is in, or near, Port Townsend, Washington. I asked Mrs. Atkin about the fiberglass Eric, Jrs.: "To my knowledge no one built ERIC JR. with...
Well, I guess that's about as far from here as it could get; and still be in the lower forty eight. Sigh. Greg Ball GIS Coordinator Dare County, NC (252)...
Did you say that Pat considers the Westsail beautiful? I think westsail may be my next boat cause I am having a hard time finding an Eric made of wood. Are...
I don't actually know Westsails all that well, but when my Eric was last hauled there was a Westsail and a Tahiti ketch in the yard at the same time. My vote...
