Re: Another Geronimo Coming Soon
Had an uncle tell me over Christmas that once the baby comes "you'll never get that boat done." I guess I get to prove him wrong. Just waiting on the next warm spell to get some gluing done. Looks like Sunday into Monday or so we'll have some highs in the 50s. Gonna get cold coming up tomorrow thou...

Re: What to look for in a motor?

This is going to be a VERY SLOW BUILD. I am going to put a time frame of 6 - 10 years on this one. (i really ...

Re: I got to tour the BRP (Evinrude) manufacturing plant in
A bummer you couldn't take pictures inside the plant. Are all sizes of Evinrude outboards built at that plant? Do the motors get a test run before they leave the factory? they make the 15hp - 300hp at that plant. The smaller outboards are actually repatriated from another brand (i think Tohatsu). T...

Re: SCARFING PLYWOOD
i bought one of these and it worked great. make sure you invest in a good quality blade for your circular saw. After you cut with this you will need to finish with a belt - sander. Worked great...even for an amateur like me!
