    Anyone need any bulk beeswax?

    I've got access to some approximately three pound cakes of (what I am told) is beeswax. I've melted some and cooled it back, and it looks, feels, and smells like beeswax. I've saved some for re-proofing jackets and hats, etc., waterproofing canvas, making survival candles, and for an...

    Poly removal/repair advice

    I'd mentioned this in a thread some time back, but I'm now getting ready to start my sanding of the hull in prep for re-coating, etc., so here goes: I have a commercially made, riverhawk hull with some glass (and some burlap towards the stern), added by a previous owner using polyester resin...

    Help with info about a discontinued hull....

    Anyone recall the Titan (?) duckboats of a decade or so back? They were vacuum formed, foam sandwich, with some sort of material that you could beat on with a hammer and it would bounce back...that used to be a dealer marketing ploy....hand you a hammer and say 'have at it'. They only made two...

    Help w/ removing bad FG applied with polyester resin over good FG/Epoxy?

    I've run into a scenario where I need to remove some 'work' someone did to a commercial made fiberglass hull. The work involved the use of polyester (auto shop) resin, and fiberglass, as well as burlap (in place of real fiberglass)...don't ask. Is there any agent that will 'release' plyester...

    Anyone coming south.....

    Anyone coming south from the great lakes area anytime soon and want to throw a boat hull on and let me buy some gas in exchange? Let me know. I'll pay at least as much $ as the premium gas $ it'd take me to go one way. Thanks.

    Grumman sportboat/canoe guys....

    Anyone have any experience with the 19/20 foot, square stern Grumman canoes? I'm pondering adding one to the arsenal, as more of a packer/transport/recreational rig for excursion, instead of true ducking. they just seem like the biggest canoes around that can be found for a reasonable $ and...

    Anyone ever used a Ouachita Fibergalss boat?

    Anyone ever used a Ouachita Fibergalss boat? Something like this (but rougher), 16'. http://www.boattrader.com/listing/1972-Ouachita-16'-River-Hawk-84151585 If I can figure out where to store it, I can grab one up for next to nothing. Might leave it for a rough fishing boat, OR coam...

    Craig Shire....any Sunfish conversion updates on performance, etc. for us?

    http://duckboats.net/cgi-bin/forum/gforum.cgi?post=4447;#4447 One of many links for Sunfish conversions, but since you had a unique approach with coamings and bulkheads, etc., turning it into a sneak, I'd like to hear any updates on how it's working for you to date. Also, when is the...

    AA Broadbill motor type/size?

    For you AA Broadbill owners (factory and self-built) would a Browdbill handle something like a Mud Buddy 23 mini shorttail, or would this overstress the typical transom or cause balance/safety issues? I think they weigh in at 165# or so. I've heard of folks running up to 35hp OBs on some, but...

    Anyone converted old speedboat/bassboat glass hulls into sneakboxes?

    Maybe this has been hashed over, but I can't find it.....Just wondering if this has been tried, etc. I'm getting some ideas, based on some of the older hull shapes, etc. on stuff like old strykers, skeeters, and speedboats in the 14-16' range...some have a little rocker, V, low profile, etc. I...
