Hello Tony. Thanks for the pics of the build and your comments. Very nice job and it looks like it was a highly effective boat once done. If I indeed going down the route of a sunfish hull my plan would be to take 2-3 feet off the transom off the bat and then most of the deck (and certainly all...

I am watching that posting as well and am prepared to jump into the truck at a moments notice. Regarding the difference between the boats I have read that the mini fish had a lighter layup than the sailfish and both sail fish and minifish are scaled down from the sunfish. What I have not been...

Thank you for all of the responses and thoughts. I will mostly be shooting prone and have the same rough dimensions in mind for loa and beam. I do believe that a boat like this would be very possible with stitch and glue and 10’x5’ marine ply sheets. However I have not yet seen plans and while I...

thank you all for the responses. I had forgotten the Taylor design and I have the book downstairs. I will look that up. Does anyone have expereince gunning from it while it's floating? Stability is quite important. Also, are there designs out there that flow the decks down to the waterline? The...

Every year I make mental notes as to what can be simplified and improved in the hunting routine. This year, the todo is to figure out a nice inexpensive solution for pond boxes. There are many places that I hunt where the tide covers the feeding grounds by 2+feet of water. They are hard to get...

Hi Steve. Well. Here’s a pic of the batteries and there are two wires in series. I modified a design for kayakers and as I do not have an electric start I did not take that need into consideration. I would be out of my depth attempting to answer your question about oomph for starting an...

thanks and it does look salty in there

I'm not really sure TBH. On my older Bud Miles design with a 15, it goes as fast as I care to go and never thought to clock it. I'll see if I can figure out an app to track it and report back

I finally got around to addressing a nav light issue in the BBIi and inspired by YouTube and kayak videos made this box. It houses two 12 v batteries and is connected to interior lights and navigation lights by two quick disconnects in the back of the box. The box itself has two leds and a phone...

It’s received a 2004 johnson 15 short shaft. This is a pre four stroke so lighter in weight. 78 lbs if memory of the specs serves.

Beautiful work. If I may ask, how did you do the tails on the old squaw? They are something...

Weekend opener so got the boat grassed in.

Completely agree. The boat has received its first coating of salt hay, bow to stern. It will never again look as good as it did an hour ago. Mud, feathers, dog scratches, coffee stains, nicks, dings etc await. can't wait...

@Linhardt and @Eric Patterson after speaking with Sam Devlin, he recommended the foam insulation board. Eric and I are on the same page although happened to be blue. I cut it into strips and packed each sponson to the gills. If I need to rehab at some point in the future, I can remove it piece...
