Default Ok, you want some frekin' boats?

I am about to embark in another boat building project. I have decided
to do it here as opposed to wrecked.boats.builders for a couple of
reasons.
1 I am JustWait, I can do whatever I want
The builders group would probably be pretty bored with such a knock
down build.
I know there would probably be folks here who would appreciate
watching a backyard build.
and fourth, I am JustWait, I can do whatever I want.

Anyway. Step one is to order some goo, you really don't want to buy
this stuff a gallon at a time. I am going to go he
http://raka.com/EpoxyPricing.html
and order a standard 3 gallon kit and he
http://raka.com/FiberglassTape.html
for a 6 inch by 50 yard roll of 10 oz fiberglass tape for the edges
and butt joints.

Next I will go he
https://www.boatdesigns.com/products.asp?dept=294
and get three or four boxes of ringnails, for this boat I will use a
lot of 2inch and 1 1/2 inch nails.

I have no connection with these guys except I buy my material from
them.

Now for the wood. I will get 7 sheets of plywood for the hull.
4@1/2inch and 3@3/4inch. I will also need a bunch of standard framing
material. A 4x4 for the stem, 2@1x4 for the chinelogs, 2@2x6 for the
sheet clamp rails (gunnels) another 16 footer for the keel, and a 2x4
or two for floor rails and non-detailed interior framing.

I will keep you all posted and do pics so stick around. Anyone who
feels this does not belong here, please contact the forum moderator

Trolls will be ignored, although they can feel free to make idiots of
themselves climbing the curtains

Scotty
