Pat- Other than bolting the power deck from the lawnmower into his boat the only thing odd Jim did was use a jackshaft between the gearbox and prop shaft. ...

John John John You really should be on a tighter leash. I guess it's pretty clear why you are based in Eugene. A couple of Viagra mixed with the gas in that ...

Boy it's been quiet here! Too quiet... My index to the plans in MoToR BoatinG magazine's Ideal Series books is finally ready for the public. <whew!> I need to...
Just though I would add someting. I put in a couple of pictures of an Island Packet owned by a friend of mine, Shirley Giesrtecht. She's an old friend of mine,...
Boy, that Island Packet sure _isn't_ my kind of messabout boat! All those wires and lines and high-strung aluminum spars... I've been spoiled by unstayed masts...
Well, my new shop is almost finished, just needs electricity, insulation, drywall and the trim painted. It's 20 x 30 feet, with 10' walls. I'm getting pretty...
Real nice shop John. That'll give ya a place to play while that nasty old Eugene rain is coming down. I can't comment on the color since, as a husband, I am...
Hi John, Nice to hear from you, your shop sounds nice. I met you at dexter lake, and I am still working on my boat, hope to see you again at Depoe Bay, last...
I ran across this in the Medford paper this morning. Thought it might be of interest to those of you into old outboards. Outboard Motors (30) From '22...
"ElShoppo" "Muy bueno" Looks great. Just paint on a big black "toothy grin" face and maybe you can milk "Pumpkin Orange" for a while. Black Trim probably...
All..... How do everyone....I'm Scott, an upriver McKenzie-ite that has been floating around a couple messes, (Sawyers Landing, Florence "Outboard Motor Show"...
Larry- The shop is going to be better insulated and more draft free than my house. It'll be cozier to hang out there in the winter, so maybe I'll be able to ...
Hi Chuck! Your D4 is taking you as long to build as my 6-Hour Canoe took me. <g> Hope you get it done in time for the Depoe Bay festival. Welcome to the list. ...
Larry- Sounds interesting! Too bad it's such a long way from here. :o( In an Ideal Series book I picked up recently I found some plans for fast runabouts and...
I think My Johnson 15 is basiclly the, year befor, 15 hp version of the "Big Twin" 18. Just got tweeked, and "Big Twin" logo. Amazing. 18 HP was a "Big"...
So John, what will you be using to heat your shop? (Pat or anyone, you can jump in here anytime) I ask because I've got a fairly large 28x40x10 shell of a shop...
Guess what. Here I am. Too Cold to be in the Shoppe. That's about the size of my shop. Also unisulated. I have been using a "Double barrel" Sotz kit stove...
John, Congratulation on your new shop! Am I envious! Looking at the picture of the red exterior with the large doors, it reminds me very much of the small...
Found a new Sight. At least new to me. (I know John, it's probably on your links page, somewhere. I'v been reading your page for months, and haven't gotten...
<<That kind of thinking has had me living in the woods for 30 years, when I could have been out "Working for a living"like "Normal People". I think it's too...
Thanks John I don't know if it has anything to do with conviction. I just don't know how to do it any other way, and hope I never learn. Guess I never...
John..... It still seems like the best heat to have is wood. It keeps the humidity low enough so things don't mildew or rust with just a couple of fireings a...
so many emails, this is great. I could spend all day reading and responding. John - I think you got the masses rolling with the shop talk, literally the "shop...
Scott- I'm going to have a shopwarming, probably around the first of December. Good suggestion. After the building is finished I've got to build a workbench,...
Larry- I'm installing an electric "unit heater" hanging from the ceiling beams, probably 7,500 watts, but I'm still not sure of the capacity I need (anybody...
If I painted the trim black somebody'd probably burn it down! There are some folks around here who take college sports altogether too seriously... No, the trim...
Nice skiff. I think I could build one of those. I just might. (Plywood though) A little something to do till I can get it together to build my "Cruiser" Maybe...
Pat - that's exactly the same thing that I was saying to myself, maybe Sandy won't notice another boat, if I build it fast and it is relativey small. I was...
Shop looks great John. One of the main reasons we bought our house was the large detached double garage. So far I have managed to keep the wife from parking...
