Harry, you're so full of ****, your parker is stained brown. Scott makes
boats with his own two hands... that is awesome. I'm a carpenter. I can

1st hand the skill it takes to do what he does, and I can assure you he's
waaay out of your league.

You can say what you want about what he builds, but it does not detract from
the fact, that he can do it, and you cannot. Anyone with a few $$ can go buy
a boat... few can build one.

No one here is buying your line of crap, so why don't you just go away.

P.S. Do you have friends in your real life? You sure don't seem to have many

And yet, your the one looking at the Viagra sled....
Have you actually ever built a boat large enough to take a couple of big
guys out fishing on a body of water on which there might be waves?

Have you ever wet a hull of your own hand.. Of did daddy just give it
to you along with whatever else he gave you to make you so mad and
insecure.??
My father was in the boat business. I had boats. If he were a shoemaker, I
would have had lots of shoes. Just think...if your daddy was a brain
surgeon, you would have had...a brain.
Yeah, I built dinghies that looked like some of yours. I worked at the
boat store, boatyard and marina many Saturdays and Sundays from age nine
on, and many summers, too. I was the "designated detailer" for a few
years, and then I moved on up to simple carpentry repairs on wood boats,
and refinishing of mahogany decks, seats and gunnels. During the winter, I
also helped out in the boatshop, building dinghies and skiffs.
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. (64 hours)

And quite frankly, his post about building dinghys and such in his
dad's shops does not square with the impressions he has given in the
past. 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?

I hate to tell you this, but Harry has done everything. *Not only that
but he has done it bigger and better than anyone. *Did he ever tell you
about the time he single handed around "the horn".- Hide quoted text -

Was that in his fishing boat? After all, he's stated here many, many
times lately that he only boats to get to fish.
