Okay folks! I've been working on this Devlin Broadbill for about a month now and have finally taken some time to post some pics. I've gleaned so many lessons and ideas from this website and want to thank everyone who has posted their builds over the years. Without your help, I would be nowhere...

Oops! I meant to say "motor mount" instead of "transom." I got my terms messed up. Thanks, David

Hey folks! This might be a silly question, but when you get ready to attach your motor mount to your boat, how do you do it? Epoxy and screws comes to my mind, with fillet joints all the way around. But do you ever put any bolts through it? And how about fiberglass cloth? One layer or two...

Thanks guys! I think I'll try to find a two stroke. The four stroke would be quite a bit heavier and more expensive. Old school it is! David

I'm in the middle of building a Devlin Broadbill and was wondering what you think about going with a four stroke motor or a two stroke motor? I'm leaning towards either a 9.9 hp or a 15 hp. There's a good deal on a 15 hp Mercury four stroke ('08 model) on Craigslist, and I don't want it to...

Hey folks! I'm in the middle of my Broadbill build and have cut my bulkheads according to my own measurements. I have deviated a bit from Devlin's plans and have added 4" to the boat's overall length and 1" to the heights of the sides. Each bulkhead's tallest centerline measurement was also...

Thanks, folks! Good recommendations from all. Looks like I might have a "ram proof" bow after all is said and done. Happy Easter! David

Okay folks ... I've started my Broadbill build (my first build at that) and everything has gone smoothly up until today. I've stitched the sides to the bottom of the boat and my transom fit perfectly on the first try. However, when I cut out the bow piece as per Devlin's instructions, it was...

Sweetest canoe I ever owned was a MadRiver Duck Hunter edition. 17' feet long and 76 lbs. Hunted that thing for 16 years. Could carry a ton of equipment and never flipped it the whole time I hunted out of it. MadRiver used to also make a "specialty" canoe that was shorter than the Duck...

I had Gander Mountain T Coat my Browning Citori and when I came to pick it up the gunsmith said, "Dang ... you just cost me another $200. That gun looks unbelievable!" After one year of hunting it, I'm pretty satisfied. Some wear is showing on the end of the barrels where dirt and grime tend...

Hey folks! I'm new to the site and have really enjoyed looking through all of the posts over the past two months! All of your talk about BBSBs have gotten me thinking about the possibility of buying/building one, so I wanted to pick your brains as to how effective you think one would be on the...
