Yes, it is good to talk to other scullers. I must say, however, that I have revised my opinion on what style of scull boat would best fit your needs. Can you give me a link on how to attach a photograph, or if it is easy just tell me in a post. I am really limited in my computer skills. We...

Leonard, sorry to miss your post, but it was great talking to you on the phone. Lyn and Lee built their boats during the seventies. I bought my boat from them in the late seventies for $1100, which was a lot of money in those days. Other scull boats new were selling for around $700, which...

Very impressive! Did you design the boat or begin with plans for a wood boat? Are you using .100 or .125 aluminum sheet? What do you think the boat will weigh? I am an amateur welder. I have built a 16' alum sled and a 12' pram, but I used a MIG gun--talk about pigeon poop welding. I have...

Lou, once again I want to thank you for your response. The photos were great! I especially like the idea of a removable cloth cover. I mentioned to my wife that I wanted her to make a couple for my layout boat. Now, I have to break it to her that I want one for the scull boat. I really like...

Lou, thanks for the links to the two articles. They were great reads. Having built a layout boat last year, I have been telling my friend that a layout boat and a scull boat would work well together. The problem was that he got so intrigued by my scull boat plug that he wants one too. When I...

I want to thank all of you scullers for replying. Honestly, I am thrilled to have contact with other scullers. I have had no contact with another sculler for almost thirty years until two years ago I ran up and talked to an old sculler taking out on Agency Lake (Oregon). He inspired me...

80! If I can get a few more years in a scull boat I will be thrilled. I hope to pass on my scull boat to my youngest son, who is 29 and back in college. I am going to write a follow-up post on sculling asking scullers for their input. I had mentioned on a Montana duck hunting forum that I...

I couldn't figure out how to reply...duh, I had not logged in. I am thrilled to have contact with other scullers. Once I moved to Wyoming and Montana, I never saw another sculler. The photographs are a wonderful reminder why I used to love sculling. I must confess that I have seen your model...

I am new to the forum, but I just posted an entry on my scull boat project. I have told my wife and sons that the most happiness I have found, short of marriage and birth, is when I am lost in concentration on a boat project. This is my second scull boat that I have built. (The first one in...

A member of this forum contacted me about an article I wrote on sculling. I am 65 and I have been building small duck boats for the past 40 years. After 20 years I gave up sculling due to arthritis in both shoulders. Two years ago I met a 72-year old sculler who chastised me for not adjusting...
