there could be. There's a boat repair shop up in Robbinsdale (near HWY 100 & 81) that probably does surveying type stuff, or could point you in the right ...
... I wished I could build it all in one piece inside but it is not available. I don't live in a neighborhood that allows sheds. The boat is built inside in...
We have foam mattresses on solid plywood flats in a cored fiberglass hull and are liveaboards. We had moisture trapped under the mattresses until we added a...
I need to make a very simple skiff capable of taking a small outboard as well as being rowed, to use as a tender to get out to a friend's boat. Needs to be...
The Pointy Skiff is the first boat that comes to mind. I'm not sure about the capacity, though, and it isn't ugly. http://www.instantboats.com/pointyskiff.htm ...
I am not saying they are putting them on with tape. But there isn't any real reason I can see why you can't design a multi panel shape create files for all the...
I have a Pointy Skiff that I have regularly carried three adults out to the mooring under oar, and taken 2 adults fishing with the four hp Johnson. I have also...

The work skiff is much harder to get on and off the roof rack. I have found the smaller the boat, the more use it gets! Lamenting the lack of time to go in...
I made booms with pegs. I don't know why. I will probably find out when I have to reef it the first time. The hole in the boom with a figure 8 knot should...
Run the snotter from the mast, thru a hole in the end of sprit, back to a block or fairleader on the mast, down to the deck, and back to the cockpit. The turn...
A possible problem with this is the duty cycle. The welder was designed to put out 40 amps on an intermittent basis. Use of a motor may well exceed the...
... I was concerned about that too, though the Miller Big Blue 251D is rated @40V DC 250A at 100% duty cycle per their spec sheet. These welders can be used...
Glen, I am kind of fond of the stopper knot. It has less of a tendency to undo itself at unopportune times. I recommend the Ashley Book of Knots to all those...
I experimented on scraps with pulverized limestone (as recommended by Carnell)as an epoxy filler tonight for a 90 degree fillet. Got a good peanut butter...
I experimented with the limestone, too. I found that if you mix in some wheat flour it will hold it's shape better, but don't use so much that it get...

Those little pegs just serve as stops for the line which captures the boom foreward for the snotter and aft for the sheet.The lines are secured simply by...
Peter Lenihan wanted me to post a request for your preference of dates for the 2002 Lake Champlain Messabout! Please let him know if you prefer August 10-11...
On the Wyoming I will need to laminate three layers of 1/2" plywood for the bottom. I have done this before using epoxy slightly thickened and is probably an...
When contemplating Wyoming's bottom I'd thought of using roofing compound before, given there are lots of fastenings. Roofing compounds get quite adhesive...
A concern I would have would be spreading the urethane evenly enough to avoid lumps or hoildays. The thicker urethanes in a caulking tubes don't seem that...
Thanks Peter, When I said I made the boom with pegs and did not know why, I should have stated: "It seemed so simple, I could not find a reason not to build...
Bolger only mentions Epoxy for waterproofing and fiberglass for abrasion protection. No mention of epoxy for any structural glues. Since the Wyo is really...
I don't see the speed side. You just spill a pile of epoxy on the ply, both sides, and spread it with a squeegee, you don't need fillers, and I would bag it, ...
