... Hi Alan, That's my feeling as well. So I am thinking of installing the hatch on an extended forward section of the house. Imagine the "windshield" being...
Hi group, Back in July 2002, when I was building AF3, I asked if anyone had built the HC skiff. We had some interesting posts but no builders as of then. So...
Thanks Alan. When I first encountered the wiley windows I didn't quite get how they were put together, so some of my belaboured visualising of them must have...
Hi, The overall beam at the mast bulkhead is 40". But subtract approx 3" each side for frame width leaves 34". Then the mast comes down the middle, approx 3"...
Hi Nels, More info-open this can-of-worms at your own risk! RB mast rakes back, I measure it at 8" back where the yard crosses, relative to the deck-entry...
... I don't know the outboard, but isn't that pretty heavy for not much horsepower? I've a 1.2hp Tanaka outboard, and it can't weight antyhing like 24 lbs. ...
... Maybe just built to plan right? I am really curious regarding Matt's chine runners concept, and think the larger rudder area plays into it. One can...
... Hi Chris, I think this is water-cooled and maybe the Tanaka is air-cooled?Tanaka maybe 14 pounds? This one looks like a handy little motor and would work...
I have one that looks very similar, its called a Johnson Seahorse rated at 2hp. Great little motor, I use it on my Brick, more than enough power for anything....
In looking at the cabin on my Fatcat2, I'm thinking the easiest way to make the two ends look neat and well-finished is to panel them. The panelling will also...

Mike, I posted a few photos in a folder called " Micro Lestat" for some idea of what it looks like. It was 12 years old at the time. You will notice that the...
Spruce is significantly lighter than pine, and Cedar significantly lighter still, as well as having some rot resistance and smelling nice (though I would hate...
On my sailboat, the ceiling strips had maybe a 1/16" gap between them for ventilation. An easy way to get a good even gap is to work up from the bottom, and to...
Nels did it right, he used cedar and left space behind it so air could flow behind and keep things dry inside. Phil Bolger describes a cabin he designed that...
... Hi Ken, To give credit where due - Peter Lenihan did it - and was the builder of Lestat. He got the idea from Bolger, but he used pine ceilings for two...
Eugene, if it's any help I've just uploaded a couple of photos of my Piccup being used by my wife to clean the weeds from the farm pond, with its engine...
All, Thanks so much for the suggestions and ideas. The Bolger Micro is only 1 foot longer than the Fatcat2, with very similar lines, so the photos give an...
OK, I need some help, guys. Got my bottom on, after a fashion. After looking at Chris F's, I decided to try the tape seam rather than the chine log. I got...
