I agree. No Political Opinions should be posted on this list unless they agree with mine. (-; Seriously. We All enjoy Important Things like Little Boats Too...
Bryn Keep us posted on the progress of your trailer. I bought a stick welder years ago with the intent of building a boat tailer, and about all I have welded...
Hi Gang I dont know why I always sail the heck out of any differnt boat I get for a couple of years then just let it sit and sit. I was thinking of building...

Hi Everyone, This is Dick, with the "ORCA" boat. I've been reading everyones messages, but you don't hear much from me because it takes me too long to type...
I've got one, but you can't have it. It's the life blood of My '56 15 HP Sea Horse. You might give Oregon Outboard Salvage a call. 503-777-1548 They are in...
... Bryn: Your boat trailer is one I've been wanting to build ever since I saw plans for one in WOODENBOAT. The author details a trailer he built for a 14'...
Hi Dick, like your boat. I have a gas tank I'm tired of tripping over in my garage, but I'm not sure it's what you are looking for. It's metal, has the two...
Not to rain on anyone's parade, but I think John's website is a bad thing. In the same way beer and tobacco are bad things, you spend way too much effort on...
... The tank I'm looking for is a pressure tank, it has a little button on top to pump pressure into the tank to start the engine. The hose from the tank is a...
Well I first have to complete the boat. I hope to start soon. I kinda got myself side-tracked with steam-bending kiln-dried ash for snow shoes for my kids....
Happy New Year All. ...nothing is as easy on the eyes as a wooden boat built on traditional lines. I found a set of drawings on the 'net of "Footloose" &...
Well, doesn't sound like its the same animal at all. I looked over mine last night (already emailed Dustin about this). It's an Evinrude model. Has the...
Dick- Unfortunately there are people who think those old OMC engines and their pressure tanks are "antiques" and consequently put a ridiculous price on ...
AF4 looks like a nice boat! With that walk-through slot cabin and a little ramp mounted on a chopped-off bow Kay shouldn't have any trouble. Do you think AF4...
I had my heart set on the GP-16/18. It was my "Perfect Boat" Amazing how infatuation can make one overlook a few "Minor" flaws. The more I looked into the...
I'm not sure exactly what is used on the motor to get the the pressure, or how much PSI there actually is in the tank. Compression or exhaust? Olie Evinrude...
Well, I'm back to square one in looking for a "Cruiser" for my wife Kay and me. We would like to spend some days, maybe up to a week at a time "Cruising"...
THANKS, to all who replied to my message about needing a Johnson gas tank. I came across a retired fellow who once owned an outboard shop in Corvallis. Seems...
Sounds great. Do you have a name and phone number for him. I really do need to get another tank for mine, since my tank is in such questionable conditions. I...
Hello all, anyone out there have any experience with "Ironwood'? I am in a position to purchase some of it for boatbuilding & wonder of its properties. ...
Where did the ironwood come from? There are several species from all over the world that go by that name. Some of them are described at Woods of the World: ...
Catching up on some old messages. You folks have done pretty well without me, a month ago I was wondering if there'd be anything to read here if I didn't post...
Whats a 17 Vagabond? There was a little bit of discussion on another list about making a Swampscott style dory with only two chines, and I dug up this 18' one...
But the whole purpose of that trailer in WB was to carry _light_ boats. For anything much heavier than 200 pounds something more normal would probably work...
Sounds like you've pretty much decided on an AF4 Pat. It's a nice boat and should suit your needs better than the Atkin skiff. The room taken up by the...
