    Ahh Steve you know I love you man. And I am probably the least PC guy here besides you!!! I try to tamp it down at the risk of offending too many people. I was trying to say that I didnt think 85 lbs. was all that bad. Ugly? Hell yeah, that was my earlier "Beerholder" comment. If I close...

    Hybrids Ugly?!

    You gotta figure thats 85 lbs with decking. Not bad, I'm currently building a 15.5 ft dory that should end up at that weight without decking! Give a man some credit, what do you think Devlin went through to get some great designs? Hell, even Bolger made some butt-ugly boats. They worked...

    And what is this "Grail"? The Sauer? I have almost given up on the Grail search. I keep trying something different and keep coming back to that Fox. That and everything I REALLY want is out of my range. You know a nice back action exposed hammer Purdey in 28 bore with nitro damascus...

    Havent got there yet! Maybe this evening. If you know anyone, they have a nice German Back action hammer 16 there. I think 29" barrells. Real nice condition, not sure about weight but feels sweet between the hands. Make somebody buy it so I can stop thinking about it!!

    Wanted to take a moment to remember my buddy

    Hey Dave, This is my first time on the tribute page and I cant tell you how glad I was to see my old buddy Murphy. He (again) made me smile with his pictures. The high point of my day so far. Thank you. I'll stop in and find his video tonite.

    Heres the link: http://www.instantboats.com/index.html Read about the fiberglass butt joints as well. I have used them a few times with good results. Plus they are much easier, for me anyway.
