i didnt know about the treated wood until i started asking questions on here the last couple of months, and these guys are awesome, always giving me plenty of help. i also bought an old starcraft, and was ready to replace the transom with pressure treated ply, but the guys here steered me in...

if this is for the starcraft, DONT USE TREATED! pressure treated will eat away aluminum.

i have a '62 starcraft, same exact model as yours. its a great design, nice high sides, but the entire hull of my boat was eaten up with electrolysis. there was pitting on the entire hull, inside and out, which i didnt find until i stripped the paint. scott farris on this site has a 14'...

i have a 17' oldtown canoe, using the same sandwich material method, and like dave said, not much sticks to it. i would think a specialty product would be needed, if you expect any kind of durability.

hey tod, i posted my second reply before i saw your post. thanks for the advice. sorry for my ignorance, what is MDO? thanks again, mike.

thanks for the quick reply. i figure i can build a small boat for about 250$, and if i can get 2 seasons out of it, ill be tickled. i woont be leaving it in the water, and will keep it painted. if i went with marine ply, the cost would easily double, probably more, and it would still be the...

i have asked is a post awhile back about exterior vs. true marine plywood for boat building. the answers i got were all the same, a good marine plywood is superior in every way over regular exterior ply. thats pretty much what i expected. with that in mind, i would like to build my first...

we finally started catching some crabs this week, and i got out on the water for the first time in several weeks. yesterday i saw the biggest flock of buffies i have ever seen, about 100, atleast. my boss, a 65 year old waterman, all his life, said he never had seen that many this lat in the...

ill probably be building either a hybrid outta home depot stuff, or if i get the money and can afford some real marine plywood, id love to build a poleboat or broadbill.

ive got really crappy feet, near anything hurts em, but since i started wearin georgia boots, they are better than ever. they are really durable, and super comfortable. http://www.georgiaboot.com/Products/Default.aspx?Gender=01&Cat=1,2&t=Non-Steel

another vote for mercruiser. i guy here just had a new transom put in his crab boat, and had it put in so he could use a mercruiser I/O. its a pretty slick rig now. a couple crabbers around here have em, and they really like em.

those are beautiful. do you use a comb? i did a green wing a while back, and used a comb on the back and sides, and i really liked the way it looked. to bad the rest of the duck was Bu Tuggly....

thanks for the advice. i may look for a boat design that has a "prouder" bow. i would be hunting nearly all narrow guts, but sometimes need to cross maybe 60-100 yards of open shallow water, that can get a little bit o chop in the wind. right now im just playing around with ideas, trying to...

hey thanks for the replies. like you said, a hummer that planed would be down right freaky. i just wanted to be sure a 2.5 would be enough to push me into a head wind in the shallow marshes around here. i drew a hummer style boat on autocad yesterday, but used a square stern rather than 2...

wondering how fast a 2.5 yammie 4 stroke would push a kara hummer or similar marsh boat with 2 doz dekes, one guy and no dog, and regualr hunting gear? im trying to decide whether to build a hybrid or a square sterned hummer. a saltwater trolling motor, battery, and charger, is pretty...

http://www.hybridduckboat.com/files/index.php?id=1 the hybrid duck boats now have there own site. the hybrid plans are available free, and the hybrid nl plans are being made and will be free. its a cool site, very simple boats, excellent when used for what they are designed for, but easily...

2nd pic from the top, those buffies are awesome. buffs are my favorite ducks, and those are some of the best ive seen.

that is an awesome experience. most hunters have time getting thirty yards from a turkey, in full camo, hiding by a tree. nice pics as well, that is a beautiful dog.

btw, you can get many different colors. i dont know if there are boaters world stores around you, but they would sell it, as would privately owned marine stores.
