Not getting to far off topic but my parents house was built from salvage from a stagecoach stop. I have the pumpkin pine floors. Dad had taken them up years ago and stored them. Trying to figure out what project to use them on. Rick

Any relation to Case tractors?

I just made a jab board for the Widgeon. Plans call for a 7' board by 6" wide. Rick Lathrop

SJ, I noticed that as well. In 1910 I guessing this was rowed only or a prior restoration removed the sailing bits. Rick

Tuckerton has a good teaching tool for sneakbox construction hanging from ceiling. One of my goals is to visit the Tuckerton Seaport over the winter. I would like to visit the boat shop but don't know current status.

Steve, I only sail my Widgeon. I am guessing a 3-5. I think a Duck Twin would look period correct for this boat. This forum shows a Widgeon owner using a 9hp and mentions that the Mighty Layout Boys Widgeon is rated for 5hp...

Aaron, Welcome aboard. I have my Widgeon build documented on the site. How much does your boat weigh? Curious since mine seems a heavy boat. Rick

Steve, You need to set Howard straight.

Building Small Boats by Greg Rossel is another good boatbuilding book. Page 224 and 225. You can preview the book on Google Books
