After the interior paint dried, I removed the masking tape. Using 1/4 ply I fit the stern and bow pieces. I scribed the exterior and the layout of the ribs on the underside. I then marked the screw spacing and drilled pilot holes. I find this a better way then trying to locate the center...

Awesome work!

Dave Clark at Estuary has a 1960 sneakbox for sale. Ad shows some nice photos of the rebuild and how this boat is put together. https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/653747867018797/?ref=marketplace_profile&referral_code=undefined Rick

After installing the shelves on either side of the boat, I fitted and installed white oak mounting points for the oar locks. The next step was to temporarily attach supports for the frames prior to cutting them for the cockpit opening. I then cut the ribs and installed a 1/2” by 1” cockpit...

I would be sure you can exit the boat quickly in case of accidental capsize. Just a concern I have with narrow boats. There are a couple skin on frame boat designs for inspiration in the resources section. Rick Lathrop

My thinking was migratory bird patterns would help to target health funds for flock protection and monitoring for bird flu and minimizing economic impacts. Delaware had $4.8 billion in poultry sales last year despite bird flu.

Is it possible to argue Migratory Bird Program is also a public health program with the impact of migratory birds on poultry populations due to bird flu?

Different cover then Steve Sanford's copy but I have a copy as well. My opinion, going by articles in magazines like Popular Mechanics, is the DIY trend ended in the 1970s.

Do what makes you happy. Life is way to short. We all share similar interests here so it is our support group. I don't think anyone here will counsel against owning, working on, restoring or having to many decoys, guns, gear, boats or getting outdoors. :)

Jode, that has been for sale for awhile. Seems pretty rough. Rick

Seller says it is a 1958 Lem Blackman. He does not have the sailing parts. https://www.facebook.com/share/1BkEJkFnCj/ Rick Lathrop

Eric, I use the same approach. I am concerned about the use of AI to create targeted emails. Rick Lathrop

World Duck Boat Championships held in Barnegat Bay. Shame they skip the origins of the boat. Some footage of rebuilding them about midway through.

The unpaid tolls text scam has been making the rounds Delaware and Virginia DMV put out alerts that it is a scam.

I work in IT and most software companies are forcing companies to move to cloud based applications. They are stopping development and support of on-premise applications. They want the revenue stream of the subscription model. That means all data will be vulnerable and out of your hands. "If...

The first part of building the cockpit was to layout the lines for where the ribs will be cut. Most sneakboxes I have seen use a rectangular opening. I prefer to mirror the curvature of the side planking. The plans call for 11 1/2" off of the edge. There is a 1/2" cockpit liner that is...
