you have a virus. I had the same thing on an Apple and had to get it scrubbed.

Dave, I have a round piece of steel 6" in diameter and 4" tall, that I use as an anvil, it's easy to move around and use. I also have a nickle-carbide penetrator (from anti-tank round) it's 2" in diameter and 6" long. It's hard as woodpecker lips and easy to use as a punch or anvil. I'm...

Dave - you've always got neat, quality projects. Looks great.

Had to chuckle... My brother did the same thing a lifetime ago... also late Nov in North Idaho... jumped in got it and almost didn't make it back to shore... Man we were young and not that bright....

Congrats! And thank you for 4 decades of service. Having retired once myself... it goes by darned quick doesn't it? Enjoy the well earned change of pace.

Thanks. I've got the project on hold right now as I'm starting a new job, and we're moving to a new home... I hope to get back to it before Christmas, and have it ready to hunt next year. Dave D picked up a sail and cutter board for me at Tuckerton, and I haven't even had time to take a look...

Looks great. excellent advice.

Steve, Keep em coming. I'm learning tons every day. Dave D schooled me on center board vs dagger board the other day… but I'm a slow study!

Capt G, two step process. First we'll get the boat in shape to hunt with a motor this fall. then after the season I'll begin to build the sailing components. I'm not sure what you mean by the "trunk", but it has a spray dodger which I'll reconstruct, and the mast step is solid as is the...

Amazingly good shape… it's tight, well constructed and dry. I'll send photos soon.

After several days I now have the BBSB fully stripped, with the original Atlantic Cedar saved for use later either in the same place or repurposed. Pulling the rusty nails and screws was a nightmare, as all were fully imbedded into the boat’s ribs. Sanding down to the glass was an all day...

I've got a slight breeze, so it feels like 99. But I have time right now, so I'm making hay. I'm sanding the upper deck down to glass, and it looks pretty good. Renovation is a great way to put it. Off to Ace for more sandpaper. Ken Deal

So the journey begins… I purchased a BBSB whose date I’m still trying to determine. It was a classic “barn find” having been suspended from the roof of the seller’s garage for the last 25-30 years. Dry as a bone, with no visible rot. It’s from the Perrine Boatworks, and beautifully made...

excellent. I'm going to try my hand this summer.

Al - outstanding photographs as always. I miss the hummingbird migration in the SW.

There were three major colors that I recall, grey, light OD and dark green. DRMO (Defense Utilization Marketing Office) used to hold sales. I think Ft McCoy had one, but I don't know if it's still in use... that said, if you can live with bulk you can bid on it...

looks like an outstanding design. Take time to put a good primer and base and it will last for years!
