I'm thinking of building a boat.


That is all. :)


If steel or alumium I can arrange for metal fab and welding.


Hmmm.... that gives me an idea.


I need to find an excellent naval architect.


I have access to one or two if you are serious...


Something occurred to me after we were talking the other night.


I wonder if there are plans out there for, say, 18' Novi type hull,
CC. Something like this only with a after of center outboard well.

The second thing that occurred to me is that I have all that pine
under the addition (you've seen that mass of wood) - if I had that

I have access to all kinds of red and white oak for ribs and such.

Done and done.

Sent a quick reply. Thanks for the advice. I'll call you later this
