I know a couple of builders like that. From what I have seen of your rowboats, you're not on the list. Harry, *you are way off base on this. Scott's boats are well crafted, quality material and excellant workmanship. *I've seen them - some are works of art and very uncommon. 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 methat 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.
