I have had ZERO issues with white oak. No warping, splits, checking, or bonding issues. Maybe it is limited to certain species of oak. Of which there are a great many.

And the Barrelback hull is 875. Should be a good performance jump from the Supra.

Wow, nice Big Block Burban! Did you do burnouts yet?

Can you use the Supra trailer for the Barrel?

Glass the hull first and then add appendages.

I have one permanently mounted as well. There's no way you're climbing over the side of a Geronimo.

Lots of room under the floor with that deep v. Looking good.

At the Gathering, Butch Barto talked me out of using polycarbonate or acrylic. He talked me into using tempered glass instead. You'll have a lot more glass than me though so cost may be an issue for you. And if you ever decide to upgrade to glass you'll have good templates to give to the glass folks.

Gators can only tolerate salt water for a short period of time. I learned this from one of my kid's shows.

Mike, from what I could tell all the shirts ran about a size small. Not just the XLs. My XL feels like a slim large.

I never really looked at photos of the Noyo trawler before. Some of the adaptations in the photos section look really cool with the aft helm. If I was doing the Hercules I would definitely do the 10% stretch. That would likely add enough room for a v-berth up forward. I was even thinking it would be...

Wow, congratulations! Sweet ride!

Gayle, is the Play n Jane the same basic hull design as the Hercules? I bought the study plans for the Herc and was wondering if a vee berth would fit. The Jane has a vee berth.

I wanna come your way until it warms up again here.

Thanks for sharing. Looks like a great solution.

Cool. I posted pics on their Facebook group.
