I worked at the boat store, boatyard and marina many Saturdays and Sundays from age nine on, and many summers, too.

I've seen boats like the ones on your web page being built as part of classes at the two local marine museums here, over the course of a weekend, by father-son/father-daughter teams. If you are really a beginner with hand tools, you can take one of these classes. Makes a good day date: Build a Boat in a Day Class fee: $300.00 ($275.00 FOM) per team. Each adult and child team uses the stitch-and-glue technique to assemble a prepared kit for a small flat-bottomed plywood boat suitable for rowing or paddling. The boat is 7' 10" long, 32" wide, and weighs about 40 pounds. By the end of the class each boat will be completed to a watertight condition and clear-coated with epoxy. Detail finishing and painting is the responsibility of team members and may not be undertaken in the Watercraft Center. Teams are limited to a maximum of 4 persons, at least one of whom must be an adult. The minimum age limit for this class only is 8 years. (6 hours). Or for those who can tell a saw from a pliers: One-Week Boatbuilding Class Class fee: $1,400.00 ($1,350.00 FOM) Each student builds a traditional flat-bottomed skiff or a small round-bottomed boat over a one-week period. Class participants will build their own flat-bottomed skiff or small round-bottomed boat, either carvel or lapstrake planked, up to 15 feet in length, with an expert's guidance. Students must discuss the boat they wish to build with the instructor before the class begins and receive his approval. They take home their boats, which will be ready for primer, at the end of the class. The class price includes the cost of all materials. Tools are supplied, but participants are encouraged to bring their own battery-operated drills (including charger) and palm or orbital sanders.

I tend to doubt he has ever built a boat.... But that is just my opinion based on things he has said that would somewhat exclude him for a group of folks who I think understand construction and implementation of the tool... beyond what he has read. I also suspect he was typical dock rat, hanging around his dad's marina hoping to pick up some of the leftovers from the boarders...;) Anyone remember those little assh**es? |

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 |

No one in the 50s or 60s could afford to build a wooden boat bigger than 7 ft for $200, even using the cheapest materials. Nowadays a sheet of good Okume sells for $200, and fyi, Okume is about as good as it gets for marine plywood. It is light, strong and highly rot resistant. Many racing hydroplanes have been built from it, and other lightweight high performance boats. In a word Harry, you know just about zip with regards to boat building, and you have incredible gall denigrating the skills of others. Get a life. |

In 1954, you could buy a brand-new American car for about $1500. 8' prams were a couple hundred dollars. Perhaps the air is too thin for your brain to be functioning up on that bridge of your floating RV. |

In the 50's you could get a locally built boat like a Brockway, say 16 to 20 feet for a few hundred dollars, Dynamite Payson sold prams up in Maine for probably 50-75 dollars... Of course, I was only born in 58 so I am taking it from the old salts that I have run into over the years.. |
