I've done plenty of bearings and just finished a set of front unit bearings on my 90's suburban. I asked this because I had never used the hub and bearing kits and I'm sure they are all Chinese parts. It's just that as I get a little older I don't enjoy working on stuff as much as I used to...

Just wondering where folks are going to get trailer bearings and seals? Seems like everything is Chinese anymore or you pay an arm and a leg for USA bearings. I've got to do bearings in the little trailer I just picked up for the sneakboat. It's a small axle with the 4 lug pattern. Don't...

This is probably not as cheap of an option as a flea market or antique store but if there is something specific you are looking for you can probably find it here https://www.woodwrightschool.com/the-tool-store . If you are familiar with Roy Underhill of the Woodwright Shop tv show then maybe...

Great write up as always Steve!!! Will this be added to your website by chance?

My boys.

Things kinda stalled on this boat but I hope the progress soon picks back up. This past weekend I was able to pick up a trailer for it. Trailer will need bearings gone through but has new tires. Got the boat sitting on the trailer and took it down to the lake and putted around with the...

Not the same boat as you mention but this guy has several different videos hunting out of and running a couple different sneakbox style boats. https://youtu.be/j8l3XltFRdY

Took the makeshift wood coaming off this afternoon. Then had my boys help me strip off the old caulking where the boards were.

Steve, thanks for the info on US Composites. I don't need to sped no more than I have to on this project. As far as the deck goes, yes I can lift it up some.

So I'm trying to come up with a game plan on fixing this thing up. I need all the advice I can get. I'd like to keep it as simple as possible. I don't want to pop the cap off if I don't have to. What I think it needs is the floor cut out and plywood removed and replaced with new wood or...

Thanks!

Pulled a tape on it tonight and it?s 14? 2? long by 5? 5? wide. Transom is right at 15? tall. That puts it really close to the Broadbill. It?s heavy too. It has a false bottom with drains to keep the water off the floor you would be sitting on. Best I can tell, by sticking my phone in the...

Yes it does have a small lip to mount a transom. When I spoke to the builder he didn?t seem to think it would take more than a 10hp engine and that a 15 would be too much. I haven?t put it in the water yet to see how it rides but it sure seems like it?s built robust enough to handle a 15. It...

So I picked up a fiberglass sneakbox and it needs some fiberglass work done. I need ideas or pictures of what y?all are using to work on your boats. Something simple that I can put wheels on and maybe an area to store tools and materials under the boat. The simpler the better. Thanks!

Picked this boat up this weekend. Made by Certified Fiberglass in Emerald Isle NC. I tracked the builder down and he only built about 10 or 12 of these and his mold was stolen. It needs a little love but I think it will make a nice boat.

Nice boat. Did you ever do any work on it? Just curious on how it came out. Also, I requested to join your Arthur Armstrong page on Facebook tonight.

Thanks Worth. I was watching the live feed of that launch attempt. It took me about a second to realize what happened. It was rather surprising to see that happen. I can only imagine the surprise or disbelief that NASA was feeling. They got quite pretty quick and made no comments until the...

Anybody know how to get ahold of him? I used to have his number but his website is no longer up. Looking for a copy of his book and I had heard he had them at one time. Thanks.

Nce work. Thanks for sharing!

Thanks to all the sponsors and you Eric. I haven't posted here a lot but have been around since the early days. I have got a lot of enjoyment out of the boat builds, pics and stories through the years.
