We built dinghies that looked very much like yours, and rowboats that were somewhat more stout. Sold them for a couple of hundred dollars to boaters who wanted something cheap to use to row from the marina dock out to their mooring. We had a very small assembly line out in a metal storage shed. The frames were cut out, and then the hullsides, bottoms, et cetera, were cut using patterns out of sheets of marine ply. It wasn't rocket science then, and it certainly isn't now. Those who wanted a tow-behind dink usually ended up buying one of Dyer's offerings, not a plywood tippydoodle. If the buyer wanted a more robust rowboat, Dad had factory-made dories and rowboats that were suitable. There isn't a boat you built on your website I would have taken out of a small cove on Long Island Sound, unless, of course, I had a death wish. My father didn't allow liveaboarders at his marina. Couple of nights, a long weekend, fine. No longer. In those days, everyone seemed to appreciate that. There weren't many rules at the marina, but the ones there were were posted and enforced. You know, Harry. I believe you have a wife. I believe you have a boat. I believe you feed wild animals. Much beyond that and your credibility just goes out the window. You've just lied yourself into the corner too many times. -- John H- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - I want to see that lobster boat! What I find really amusing is the fact that now that he down sized, he claims to only boat to get to the fish. Was that what his lobster boat is for? How about when he owned a Hatt? I wonder what he was fishing for when he single handed around the Horn? |

Harry, show us some pictures of you and your dad at your marina. |

If you could balance on a bike more than 20 seconds you were a king dog. Malcolm Smith was one of the greatest trials riders of the 60's and he would stand in awe of these guys. |

Why in the world would anybody care who has had what e-mail addresses in their posts made to a boating newsgroup? It's funny. If I want to filter someone, I right click on the header, select filter, a window pops up with the 'author' as the default filter expression, and I hit 'OK'. That works until the 'author' changes his name. Neither I nor Reggie have changed names in quite a while, yet Harry has these problems. I can only guess that Harry's problems with his filters stem from using Vista, or the LTP. -- John H "All decisions are the result of binary thinking." |
