Been off here for a while and both Josh & Matt have finished their boats! Looking great Matt!

You could achieve the look of all these boats by using the Bolero or Bandido hull designs & making changes above the waterline and aft of the transom. Both these designs are pretty flexible on power & drive line. Get the plans and make some rough scale models from card/balsa etc., (or on CAD...

Same here - at £158 (around US$211) per sheet I wasn't very impressed to find voids, even if they were few and far between. Ironically, the £26 sheet of 3/4" WBP B/BB exterior ply I bought for my shed roof didn't appear to have any voids when I cut it. Makes you think, doesn't it? Even so, I'm...

http://www.glen-l.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?f=21&t=27137&hilit=barrel+zip I’ve decided to indefinitely shelve my Zip build and it’s all Josh Burk’s fault! (OK not really) I was originally planning to work my way through a number of builds – Zip, Overniter, Tahoe-Overniter, but the house &...

Nice Tahoe for sale in the UK, bit of a Riva theme - Says it's manufactured by Williams Powerboats, but the only Williams I can find in the UK makes Jet tenders; maybe a one off.

Literally had me laughing out loud!

JIm,

Check out Josh's Youtube series - He has quite an in-depth explanation of the processes he tried on his deck before settling on the best method.

Just to throw in a curve-ball on cabin ideas, how about raising the deck: -

I was proposing to stretch an Overniter to 18', (See Super Overniter thread) - I checked with Gayle, and she said the recommendation not to stretch it was not a structural issue, but rather the complications of the raised sheer for a beginner; Ove Pederson stretched his 200mm (just under 8"). I...

This kinda thing: -

The old-school tool-bags that lay out flat when you put them on the floor are great - Tools spread out so you can see them, easy to toss tools onto them instead of putting them where they'll roll off/fall through/forget where you put them, and you can just grab the loop handles & everything is g...

I don't know anything about it, but I once saw an out-drive on a UK river cruiser, which rotated around the input driveshaft longitudinal axis, where it exits the transom; hinging upwards, sideways instead of rearwards as normally seen on other out-drives. I don't know if I've explained that effecti...

Those plans are available for free on Svensons.com - they were originally posted in a magazine back in the day. Classicwoodenboatplans have "just" modeled them up in CAD, (this involves a fair amount of work) and are selling them on. I've read that the guy is a CAD jockey, not a marine arc...

I'm sure I've seen other construction pictures of this dash, showing it being constructed out of "stepped" wood laminates, like Lego, before being sanded to shape. Van Dam really continue wooden boat building into the 21st century. I love the classic shapes but modern designs like this sho...

Love cruising stories - keep 'em coming Curt. I've mentioned them before, but members may find the "Narrowdog" series of books from fellow Welshman Terry Darlington entertaining; especially "Narrowdog to Indian River" where he chronincles cruising the Intracoastal Waterway in a 6...
