Just down the road from me. I'm in Dunedin which is just north of Clearwater. Have fun while you are here. Bill ... __________________________________ Do you...
Greetings. After thinking about it a lot over Thanksgiving, I've decided to sell my Long Micro Zephyr. I'm going to post an ad in Messing About in Boats, but I...

... $3 or 4K will buy a serviceable, though neglected, 30 foot used boat! For most people, the only reason to build a boat is for the joy of building a boat! ...
... Perhaps in your area of the world - but certainly not around here. I have never seen a 30 foot sailboat for sale at that price. I know some who is...
... Fair enough. Though around here, plenty of people just get tired of their 'old boat' and want to dump it. Poke around the marinas, ask the harbor master...
... Yes I can see where an old boat can become a liability, sorta of like old cars and people;-) Unfortunately my contact is looking for one he can trailer...
But if you live aboard, lving on a boat is the greatest deal around, rent/mortgage wise. Personally, I don't believe in unoccupied housing including boats,...
... There is an Ericson 25 on eBay at the moment. Current bid is $800, and it will sell for less than $2500, I'm sure. The listing doesn't say if it is the...
As a building architect, I was once called an artichoke. It was said face to face in a jocular manner, perhaps with a different feeling when expressed behind...
... Sorry Peter, I am getting into this deeper than intended. The prospect lives in Ontario and prefers one near or in that area. ... I think that any ... ...
... I think most power boaters will find your opinion very conservative. I have a 2500LB boat which is not kept in the water. Launching is just not a big...
... Like many of you (I suspect) I buy many more plans than I ever around to building. The funny thing about Bolger's plans is that I've never bought one...
Bruce, I'd say that both of these are true for homebuilders, but another reason, at least for someone building a boat large enough to live on, or do off shore...
The new MAIB has a nice article by John Tuma about the use of a vang on his gaff cat. The vang was specified by PCB. Is this boat the Spartina adaptation? It...
... Put another way: simple materials, simple design, low stress elements, low tech, reliability and repairable in remote areas. Heck, most of the Bolger...
... You have me wondering! You are not the first to express the ~1000LB tow limit. I have had the same response on other groups, typically but not always...
... The mast gets too tall. It's not really the weight. It's the fact that the center of gravity gets out of reach overhead, complicated by the stays that have...
I believe that the heavier a boat is the more planning and forethought it entails when considering taking it out for the day. In my own experience, a 14 foot...
... I did, and Dave kindly wrote back. He said that the Otter II he had was a good boat but that he'd been disappointed to find that it was too heavy at...

... Did Dave say if any of that weight was ballast? Five hundred lbs sounds pretty light to me. I would have guessed, offhand and without any computation,...
... t the boat would usually turn out a little heavier than the designer intended, gi= ven that most of us tend to overbuild at least a little. Now, I'm...
Here's a bit more of what I laughingly call 'my thinking'. I don't remember the details, of the Otter II, but let's assume that it really is a punt of 14ft in...
I have a 2500lb powerboat. I can say that there are times when I would like to take it out but the hassle of launching at the ramp then coming back and...
Tom, Welcome to the list! As far as I know, there has only been one Loose Moose II (aka AS38) built following the original plan. This was build by Bob and...
... It seems to me that there was a fellow who had a LMII built by a professional. Once it was built, he hated it, finding the interior too much of a dark...
... Wow. I am impressed that you still have a positive attitude, 7 plus years into building such a monumental boat. Questions ... Those are all trivial...
... Hi, You might want to search the archives of this group to find the thread about the AS-29 Alisa, keeping in mind that it is one particular boat, and that...
