try to avoid that even now.

The important thing is to take lots of pictures and share them with

You know I'd do that.

I'm beginning to have my doubts about the feasability of the "stretch"
modification however. Some good points have been raised about the
stresses at the attachment point joining the two halves. Growing the
boat larger would only make that worse, especially with an outboard
big enough to reach planing speeds.

The design was intended as a small rowing and sailing dinghy and that
is probably where it should stay.

I'm thinking that one of Scott's Brockway Skiffs could probably be
built as a two piece boat that would be more suitable for a big
outboard if the right attachment method could be found. It would be
heavy though unless built with high tech materials.

You know.. A one piece 12 foot version of that boat can be built under
200 pounds or at least close. A 12 footer can carry 4 folks comfortably
with probably 6-800 pounds of gear and supplies. An 8 horse engine will
make the thing fly too...

My 14.5 foot aluminum boat is rated for just under 900 lbs...... that

27 mph is "flying" in your neck of the woods?

PS - Let me beat all of the assholes to the punch, while I am boatless,
I have forgotten more than these morons ever knew. So if it wasn't for
all of the right wing assholes, I would actually make some boating
posts. since rec.boats is full of assholes, why bother.
