Hey guys I am making some v boards and just wanted to ask what folks use to seal up their ply silos before painting? Thanks DW

Looking for a used open water layout. I am not set on any particular model and would consider a project boat. Email david.wheeler@fmc.com Thanks, DW

Dan and I met with our local CO yesterday and completed the inspection on our BBIII. We passed!!!! Ready for the water except.......... We will have to wait on the Commonwealth 2-3 weeks for the Hull ID and registration. The CO told me yesterday that the county clerk would issue a temporary...

I have not posted in a good while but have been able to work on the boat on and off for the last month. At times the progress seems really slow but it seems like it is all coming together now as Daniel and I just about have it ready to glass the decks. Getting the floor timbers right was a...

I have been able to find a little time to work on my boat the last couple of weekends. Last weekend Daniel and I installed the sheer clamps. We went ahead and scarfed the clamp with the mahogany we had. At least at this point, it looks as if it will hold just fine and did not create a...

Gents: I finally got the hull finished and turned her back over to start work on the top. Having trouble finding time to work on her for the past couple of months but making progress a little bit at a time. I have a question. My mahogany boards are a little short of making the full...

Does anyone have a good link to help me find a used trailer for my BBIII besides craigslist and ebay. I am finding it difficult to find a good one that does not have a boat on it. Thanks, DW

Okay---- I need a little thought here. How would you go about fixing this? On this corner the saw got a little deeper than I wanted and the fillet was a little shallower than I wanted. Thinking about sanding them on down and cutting a triangle piece of 3/8 and glueing down to the corners then...

The February - March work schedule has been very full so I have not had much time to work on the boat or post but Dan and I have been working on the boat with every spare moment we could find. We were able to dedicate one full weekend to the filleting process. Wow.. what a job that is. I can't...

Well, I have not had much time to for the boat due to very busy travel schedule over the last three weeks. I plan to get back at it over the next few days and hope to complete filleting by the end of the weekend. I have the bulkheads fitted to my satisfaction but have one question on the...

Well, I have been traveling a good bit for work in the last couple of weeks but Dan and I are making some progress. We did get the bottom hull panels stitched up last night and prepared the sides for stitching. I had a couple of questions for BBIII/Scaup builders. There is really now mention...

Dan and I sanded down the scarf joint a couple of nights ago and as many of you said it was much easier than I thought. Looked to me like we got a fairly good joint in the end. I had a couple of questions though. We probably picked the worst weekend we could have to glue the joints. Outside...

I built my table today and recieved my epoxy late last week. Expecting plywood shipment tommorrow. One question. How tall to most of you like your table/cradle to be? Seems like mine might be a little tall once I get the hull stitched up. Built it using three heavy duty saw horses and 2x4...

Gents: I would like to introduce myself as a new builder. My son Daniel and I are going to build a BBIII this summer. I have been watching this site for some time now and have admired the work of those of you who post often. I must apologize for my lack of contribution in conversation and...
