A comfy chair and a beer helps for the thinking part.Just not too many right before the sawing part

go for it, Bill.Would make a good donor boat.

Good to see you back at it.I didn't paint my bilge since most of it is hidden-just coated well with CPES.Nasty stuff too!

Research your varnish over epoxy.I've heard a 2 part perfection plus will cure.My Epifanes didn't even set up(after 3 weeks)over epoxy. used a water-based paint remover to remove varnish.didn't touch the epoxy so used an epoxy paint over.

I would treat it.Make sure to coat both sides as it'l warp if only done on one side

Was pondering tonight about how to rig up my anchor system and researched a little about the diy pin shallow water system.Any of you folks use one? the commercial jobs are really spendy.gotta make a pin out of sturdy stuff

Ahh Hmmm.,Bill. most of the little rivers up here have a channel so until the weeds grow up or the memory goes,I'll get grounded. sorry for the hijack -scout

Thanks ,Bill.Was just curious on the other fella,s pick.

What did you end up using?I got a Yamaha 9.9 high-thrust to put on my bo-jest.25 inch shaft.hopefully I will launch this summer.

I've read that a bit of concrete cement used for ballast works too.must be the lime.think I read that in "Woodenboat" somewhere

Warned you! You're gonna need a bigger trophy wall

One problem I see with the I/O is if you have problems and have to take it to the shop, you would have to take it all ,instead of an outboard.I had an old boat years ago and had to have all the gears replaced in lower unit and top gears.Was quite a chunk of change with labor and all.If I had just th...

Wow! Look at all the room!I'm gonna have to build bigger next time! Good to see you back at it.I've got a new tenant under boat shed the other night.One of the stinky ones.I'm serenading him or her as we read & write.maybe it'll get sick of loud music 24 hours a day

Up here,I 've heard -the #1 cause of drownings is peeing off side of boat.Get an odd wave and over you go.Gotta have a boarding ladder to get back in.Speaking of which ,I gotta get one for each of my two boats.Crawling up side of running out board sounds a little risky.I use an ol' coffee can.

Maybe a crooked little stick with a piece of driftwood board nailed on it.bent nails for effect
