Well I will throw in another option, that I believe is far better. Harbor sales are now carrying signal mdo made by olympic, can be shipped anywhere, reasonable priced particularly when compared to foreign made plys. Good quality mdo has been used for boat hulls for over 50 years. Probably the best ...

TRy this link for harbor sales on the plympic signal mdo.

You can get this also in 10 ft. lengths.

Here is a little info on mdo which stands for medium density overlay and hdo stands for high density overlay. It has been used for boat hulls for 50 years and is a excellent product. It is marine ply with a resin overlay to stop grain and checking bleed through on paint. BUT not all mdo is created e...

Well Dave that is about the longest and most classy definition I have ever heard concerning GRITS. If during the civil war, If Mr. Lincoln had only known to go after the supply line of GRITS , little did he know, that the war would have been over with in less then 6 months. Without GRITS the confede...

I take it you are using the douglas fir for framing, and the western red cedar for planking. Strip planking maybe...

The sweet 16 a little tugboat, hope you learn how to load in pictures.
Give us a report on the boat, how it handles and feel.
What did you built from, steel, or plywood?

I always though Ken's stress skin steel was very smooth and pretty.

Here's the hard core answer to your question. You say 12 knots in a 40 ft. pontoon houseboat that weighs 5 tons. There are charts to give you the basics, you take the square root of the waterline length and multiply it to get your hull speed. In this case the square root of 40 is 6.32 and multiply i...

Good question Hazen.. The best person to answer you is glen-l.
This is their business, they can tell us all what the deal is,
what the average percentage of plans is the royalty fee and so forth and so on.

Did you save the hankinson plan page, neat, good deal..

I believe that of all of Hankinson's plans, his tug boat line is one of the most unique and neatest of all. And it would be a shame for the tugboat plans not to continue to be available. I hope you find a set. Some one mentioned that Hankinson'a phone message said he was retired, and if you had a se...

Yea but you got to increase everything, somewhere around 50%.

Are you familar with this page,? The vee dory is the same as the one hankinson had. Plus quite a few larger boats to choose from.

Very neat Graham, think you should lobby Barry into adding a model making link, and you can be the model making guru.

If you need to move my post back down to boat power to help restore the other posts, then by all means do it.
The important thing was getting a new heading set up for those who might want to play with electric and has no concept of what they are doing..Like me.....Ronw
