They look fantastic!

Well done!

Excellent Fred!

Sounds like you did well. As with all such things, the real measure of how you did is price versus the utility you get from it, not the price versus what you could have paid.

Great pics and story, thanks for sharing!

This is my vote! The ultimate multi-purpose pet... PD eradicator and duck retriever, then curled up in the bed with you at night!

Well, you cam use that to your advantage, too. Let him know you need to get a deal done by Monday with a guarantee the tractor is in your hands by the first week of January or you'll be waiting on a new one - should have a similar effect if he knows you'll not be doing any deal between your...

That's pretty far north for a chupacabra!

Have the sales guy work up a quote for a 2025/6 model spec'd the same way. I know you don't want to wait 6+ months, but you can bet the sales guy doesn't want to wait 6 months for his commission either. You're approaching end of quarter, and end of year. If he has the ability to do any...

Much happier. I should have done this to start - 3 sections is a lot easier to maneuver in and out for tweaks, and will make life a lot simpler if I'm epoxying it down solo. Need to make the 3rd section tomorrow, then final tweaks for fit - then will turn to access hatches.

Wow, cool boat!

Yes, a bit, anyway. Only 64% this evening. I have a couple minisplits in my shop (a pretty leaky old metal building) to keep it down a touch, mainly for cars/tools. I don't lose a lot of sleep over moisture content in wood (once "dry", as marine plywood obviously is) - that MC is going to...

Thanks Tod. I'd been thinking about hold-downs as well as some type of "gasket"... appreciate the ideas

I need to look back at pictures of yours again... as I recall they were centered port-to-starboard, which would put them over the keelsons. After making the support rings, did you cut them to fit either side of the keelson, or route the keelson down l?

Yeah, I know. You've about convinced me on the float jacket alternative, I agree that's a better solution. But since my duck boat isnt likely to see cold water anytime soon, I'll defer the investment a little longer.

Yes. I buy only non-ethanol (still easy to source in NC), but still run one of these on any boat I have.

I'm pretty much like you, been in and around the water my whole life and probably not as fearful of being dumped as I should as a result. When the water is cold I wear one, but otherwise I don't... whether inshore or offshore.

My adjustable measuring jig worked just fine for getting measurements every 6 inches so I could loft onto the sole... my problem was that the span was too big for 48" wide plywood (at the top/surface side of the sole). As a result, I measured to the bottom of the sole. Worked fine, but the lip...
