Tom, we have lots of high-end boatbuilders around here who work in wood,
on this side of the bay and on the other side. Real works of art. Last
summer I had the privilege of a ride and inspection on a Hooper Island
draketail, built of cold molded wood. Nicest wood boat I've seen in many
years. About 27' if memory serves, and suitable for deep water. There's
also a guy about 25 miles south of here who builds beautiful cedar strip
canoes the old fashioned way. The photos Scott had of his boats when I
last saw his site didn't do a thing for me.

When I was a young lad, my dad bought and had manufactured an L16, one
of the prettiest wood sailboats ever. I've seen and admired many really
beautiful wood boats, close up and from a distance.

Culture may be learned, but taste is subjective.

And bullship is still bullship *Besides it really does not bother me
that someone out there is a better builder. Not to mention that I am
convinced that when it comes to boat building/builders, you really
have no credible or objective opinion. Those of us who understand the
engineering and structural necessities of wooden boats see that almost
every time you try to get involved in such a conversation... Your dad
might have know a little about the boats he resold, but you obvously
were not really paying attention... Like I said, when it comes to what
I do (and you don't and never will) your opinon is irrelevant,
seriously. Just because you can drive a hull through a hurricane, does
not mean you know why the hull made it.. It is fun watching you though
Harry, 'specially when you get into a coversation about something you
are less versed than your opponent, you seem to only open your mouth
to change feet sometimes, you are kind of like the group muse.. OK,
time to go build my kids last presents...

Merry Christmas all you dirty dogs... oh, an Tom too! *

Jeeeze...you build rowboats or rowboats for bitty outboards. What the
hell are you raving about?- Hide quoted text -

Let's just say you aren't the only one who grew up around premier
wooden boat builders.

I know a quality boat when I see one and Scott's are top quality.

From 1947 to 1955, my old man was actively involved in building and
racing his own outboard powered hydroplanes and "utility" outboard
racers. These were for outboards ranging from hopped up Mercs to monster
Evinrude 50 hp engines. Very small boats, very highly stressed. I
suspect he understood the "engineering and structural necessities of
wood boats."

All I recall from your webpages are rowboats.

True enough - it's all about looking cool. :)

I'm hiding out in the office at the moment - there are so many people
in the house, the dogs and I are taking a break. :) It's time for a
cigar anyway - get some fresh air and let the mutts run around a
little.

Merry Christmas to you and your family.... even the cop

10-4.

The cop is with his girlfriend tonight at her parents and will be
there tomorrow too. The cop says next time you pass through SC, let
him know and he'll keep an eye out for you.

Jealousy over his boatbuilding skills? He builds crappy little

Calling Okume plywood is like referring to fine porcelain as "baked

Sounds like you are stressed out Hairy, and too much in touch with
your inner child again. Maybe you should go check your shrink wrap
this afternoon and give the internet a rest. Better yet, build a boat
or two.

Sorry, Whine, but when my father built boats, he built their hulls and
decks of mahogany ply, because the wood was beautiful, and it was strong
and pretty rot-resistant. That's mahogany ply, not okume. I have seen
some nice okume cigar boxes, which is a suitable use for a wood that
isn't going to be epoxied.- Hide quoted text -

I don't use a material because it is "beautiful", I use it because it
is the best material available. I don't make ornaments, I make
tools... Say what you want Harry, I know what I do with the wood, your
lame insults are of no concequence. Funny how you would consider a
hand made wooden boat made of new high quality composites to be
inferior, then spend nearly 100 grand on a floating clorox bottle,
with a big frekin' hole to boot

Hairy's very upset today.

John, don't respond to the bitter troll. Trust me, he's so uptight that
he has to resort to these reposts to feed his narcissism.

Merry Christmas, John!

You know what they say, Wayne: big boat=small dick, and since you have

I have a big boat.
I am also probably the biggest Dick here.

I have a smaller boat, but am probably bigger than you. And I am a Richard

If you're questioning my masculinity, you'd better start with the 'big guy'

He owned this Princecraft a lot longer than I have. ;-)
