When I called CrossCut yesterday, Justin said he had MarineTech plywood as well, but that it has 'pinhole voids and is not as highly rated as Marine Ply' - by...
I think it is more closely rated to Bs6566. I have used it and think it is a great product...if you can afford the added weight. No question that Okoume is...
I finally cleaned out the garage the other day, and was able to put he green skiff (currently featured on the front page) inside. I removed the plywood floor...
Here's some info on water based epoxy Craig ... From: Robert Owens Slack To: SFD_builders_sailors@yahoogroups.com Sent: Saturday, October 15, 2005 6:32 PM ...
I know there was this discusion a while ago, but I am wondering Which Inflatable (CO2 or blow up) Life Jackets folks are using now and any recomendations or...
Pat, it is my opinion that you should consider finding a PFD that fits both you and your kayak - and not the inflatable kind. Those inflatables are great for...
It's hard to say without a picture, but basically they're drilled in the middle of the frames. To put it another way, they act more like a lightening hole...
I have a Stormy Seas inflatable coat that I use. I've had it for about 8 years, and have only inflated it for fun; never in the water. Some say that Stormy...
Stirring a bit O Dirt, What's up Star of Oregon crew? Hope the Petral is under cover for the winter rain, and being rigged for the voyage south. Hmmmmm Deal...
I have one that fits around my waist...fanny pack type. My philosphy is if it is convenient enough to wear ALL THE TIME you are on the water, you are more...
My dad was diagnosed with cancer and will be undergoing chemo treatment over the next 6 weeks. I don't expect him to live. I will be spending time with him...
Pat, The used sporting goods store Greg is talking about is called Next Adventure. Seem like nice folks. Just North of them on Grand is Andy & Bax. They have a...
Maybe you do not need okume marine ply at that price for a river stewards program anyhow. I bought 1/2 in. solid core plywood used for underlayment, that is...
Andrew, Very sorry to hear about your Dad. Such a vigil is both a trial & a blessing. My best wishes go out to your family. David Graybeal ... treatment over...
Not sure how to get to drawing without a link, so I do miss a bit of the action, but consider that wind gusts from trucks, driving rain, road dust, etc. can be...
Not sure, but some pfds have an "auto inflate" feature that would be worth while. Why not call our marine discount store contact, maybe Charleston since they...
David, Brian, and all the rest of the Coots, thank you for your kind thoughts. Yes, it is going to be tough, but like David said, this is also a blessing. For...
Cal The PK cabin is of the Birdwatcher type. It is actually and extension of the sides of the hull. The 1/4" plywood that forms the hull extends right up to...
Andrew, I'm glad you decided to speak up about what's up for you. It's been my experience that this group harbors a bunch of great guys. A couple of examples...
Andrew: Don't know how it is for you....but I have my dad to thank for my love of boats....although the "old Coot" never chose the "right" boat for me as a...
I have felt my yearning for the sea comes from my childhood in the desert. Both are harsh environments that will be just as happy to let you die as they are to...

... stewards program anyhow. I bought 1/2 in. solid core plywood used for underlayment, that is exterior glued and has no voids for $28.00 per sheet. That is...
So far Patricia and I havn't been able to come up with a compatible solution for a boat or camp trailer. What it seems to come down to is one for each of us....
Thanks a lot Pat ! That is just what I needed. I do have side decks and a 2in. raised railing around the inside cockpit edge to land the cabin on. Looks...
