These look interesting. Probably too big to of much use for boat building though. I have a hitachi nailer that looks pretty similar too their gun...might have to order a case one of these days and see if it works.

How about the waterlodge?


A little boxy but I don’t think you’ll find a 20’ boat with an 8’ beam with more cabin space. Or capacity for batteries and solar panels.

Looking forward to see what you do with your build

My sons only complaint is that there’s too much spray. So some spray rails or a tall windshield are in the future plans.

We'll be up the last 2 weeks of July. Let's plan on meeting again...that rainstorm broke up last years' party a bit too soon! I want to see your boat in action...

Looks like we will be there the third week of July. Stop in anytime.

Looks good Mark!


Bit jealous...still at least a few weeks before we put in the boat. don’t even have leaves on the trees yet.

Looks good from here

With the 3m pps disposable cup/liner system you can use a gravity gun more like a suction gun. Even upside down for a bit... If you hold the gun upside down and and pull the trigger you can collapse the liner and put it under a slight vacuum.

...Looking good.

Everyone on the boat has a wrist band. If anyone falls off an alarm is sounded and the engine is killed. The engine can be restarted after Something like 10 or 15 seconds.

Why do you need over 1000 HP on the boat that is pulled by a truck with maybe 200 HP?

You haven't been truck shopping lately.

Looks good. Your sketch reminds me off this boat

Laminated is often stronger and straighter than solid lumber.

Here’s some pics that I saw on CL from a boat for sale. Thought it looked like a nice design...

When I make templates like that (for countertops) I use a hot glue gun. Quick and strong.

I also skipped the nails and screws on my build. I did use some temporary screws to hold things in place when clamps or weights wouldn’t work. My hull, frames and top deck have no fasteners in them. Though I did use the carriage bolts called for on the keel and transom. But I was building the little...
