Howdy A while back I ran into a site that helped calculate oar length etc. Now I can't find it. Does anybody know of such a site? Thanks See Ya Have Fun Bruce...
John, There is another way to get width without undue length. It is not part of the STATES line of Bolger designs nor is it 16' wide but it does offer an...
My apologies, Bruce. I definitely misinterpreted the picture. I thought that the failure was along the scarf, rather than through the ply. Chuck The picture...
That's a neat boat! Where could I read more about this one? "ellengaestboatbuildingcom" <ellengaest@...> on 06/06/2002 08:05:34 AM Please respond...
... A great resource for learning how to lay out and spile strakes is "The Clinker Plywood Boatbuilding Manual" by Iain Oughtred. It also has a wealth of...
Thank You Peter, I have reviewed those boats but the State design's offer an edge in small power plants that push them efficiently. With the advent of white...
Doubling a Wyoming to 100' X 16' would not be the best way in my opinion. Having that long of a flat run boat may be a bit on the wild side. You would need...
Well, I plan on pulling the Chebacco onto the trailer in a few days. I've gone so far as to weld some roller arrays onto the frame. The boat will hang over the...
Jeff, I like the Wyoming and Illinois but neither are what I would pick as perfect. I'm positive if Bolger designed a 100' State series boat it would be a...
Richard: My Caprice hangs eight feet past the rear most bolster. Of course there is only a 5 hp motor hung on the transom. The trailer has a real long...
I have a 6hp, 4 stroke. So, probably won't have any issues there. May need to lengthen the tough, will see. ... From: "Chuck Leinweber" <chuck_dm@...> ...

Greetings, Anyone can recommend me to get a modern sailing boat plan to built to start with? Specs: - Fast - Handle 5 meter height of wave - Wood - About 10...
A simple sketch of the 100' sharpie aircraft carrier is at www.brucesboats.com , Phil's comments and his willingness to go ahead with the design are there...
... to start with? Wayan, Before we can help much, we need more information. Do you want a sailboat or power boat? What kind of power? What do you want to use...
Do you mean by "to start with" that this is your first boat? It is traditional, and probably a good idea, to build a small boat first to work out the...
There is another you might want to contact PCB&F about, though she is not really a sharpie. The design name is White Eel, and it hasn't been published that I...
Actually somebody mentioned (dim memory) that this was a design(s) in process, that was keeping Mr. Bolger busy, though obviously not to busy work up the...
Harry, Quick search for, "Canal" found this from Vincent Chew: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/bolger/message/12285 "Bolger also has an inboard/outdrive version...
Thanks Pete. Yes, really the conversion would not work very well using the Micro rig. You would have to cut major area from the bottom of the sail to clear the...
Hi, all. Just wanted to let everyone know that I lofted and cut the sides and bottom of the Dobler 16. This boat was written up by Tom F. Jones in "Low...
Don't look too close, lots of goofs and goobers. If you stand back and squint it, is looking more like a boat. Still have not weighed it. Weighs more that...
Lookin' better all the time, Bruce. You're putting on the 'sheer strake.' In the old days, when they planked up from the keel and down from the sheer, the very...
