Ok group, my modified Larsboat is finally wet. I modified it to handle both a trolling motor and a sail. I did not add an outrigger like some have done,...
I had a small 1.7 KW Onan generator powered by a B&S 3 or 4 hp . It was to run a small air conditioner on an old 28' steel hull boat and I wanted it quiet. It...
I did not read the post by Bruce before I wrote mine but we are on the same page. Exhaust is only a small part of the noise. Don't buy a Briggs and think you...
... a ... Well it's too late. The engine is already bought but it's no B&S outboard but a lawn mower engine. It's a part of sternwheeler project (polepunt will...
I suggest spending the same pile of dough on attending rock concerts as often as possible. A permanent solution, no need to wear bulky headphones, and...
Howdy ... Well, in that case. :) One way to help reduce the noise is to dampen the vibrations of the cooling fins. Take some small diameter automobile...
I am beta testing the new Google EMail, which reads your email and serves up 'context sensitive' advertising. [privacy issues, I know]. Anyway, upon reading ...
Bruce. Great suggestions. As for the muffler - the one shown on the link looks just like B&S's own Low-Tone. Installs on the side of the engine. Great for lawn...
Bruce do you want me to cross the ocean with Polepunt BEFORE making the engine quieter??? No way!!! -Wojtek Wojtek: The Atlantic is only the half of it - then...
Hi fellas, I've started building the Musicbox 2 design. Help me with the external chine logs, eh? Does fiberglass cloth or tape easily wrap around them? And...
Will-- There are a variety of opinions. 1) Do not fiberglass anything--just prime and paint, taking care to seal the edge grain on the bottom panel. 2)use...
Will: For my money, if you want a permanent boat, forget the chine logs - just fillet and tape the joints. You will get a much nicer looking and more durable...

Hi, I've been awful quiet for months just working on my AF3 which should be ready by July. I am soon to begin assembly of the sail. Anyone have any practical ...
Yes, I think I will go. It’s a good excuse to use my membership in the Seaport. On second thought if truth were told, I don’t need much of an excuse to go...
Steve: Congratulations on your soon-to-be new boat. I've had good luck with polytarp sails - they are tough and cheap. Jim has a good essay about making...
I'd like to remind any of you guys going to these various shows this summer that you can take a few pictures and write a short article and swap them for a...
Anyone have a link to an events calendar for this year's festival? The newest I seemed to be able to google up was for 1997. I am in Marlborough MA at the...
Max, I may be recollecting something wrong but did you use epoxy and tape on the joints on your AF3? Or did you just use PL Premium? Best Regards, Terry...
... tape on the ... All of the "narrow" joints (i.e. chines and framing) were glued with about 25 tubes of P. L. Premium construction adhesive. All of the...
Thanks for the link. I was told today that the entrance fee for spectators is a bit steep but the web site is a bit confusing on this matter (to me at least)....
-It cost 15.00 or 17.00 for adults to get in. Mike ... spectators is a bit steep but the web site is a bit confusing on this matter (to me at least). Can...
Forget those cheapo "noise cancelling" headsets. If you read the fine print, they only cut 17 dB, which is 10 or 15 less dB than the reduction available from...
